SAMPLE -- Is It Delivery?
Allen is sitting reading a magazine, Steve is pacing.
Steve -- I can’t stand this waiting. I’m going crazy!
Allen -- Calm down, Steve, it’s not like this hasn’t been done before.
Steve -- Hey, you’ve already had two, Allen, this is my first one.
Allen -- So take my advice and sit down. There’s nothing you can do now. Your part has been long over.
Steve -- It’s so frustrating putting this in the hands of other people.
Allen -- Would you want to deliver it?
Steve -- No way.
Allen -- So leave it to the experts and relax.
Steve -- Relax? Allen, my whole life will change after this!
Allen -- For the better, believe me.
Steve (sits) You think so?
Allen -- Absolutely, Steve! Oh, sure, there will be times where you will have to get up in the middle of the night, but it will be worth it.
Sits impatiently waiting for a few moments.
Steve -- Want a cigar?
Allen -- Save it for afterwards.
Steve -- Yeah, yeah, good idea. Am I an idiot?
Allen -- You really want me to answer that?
Steve -- No, I mean now. Am I ready for this?
Allen -- Why not?
Steve -- Suppose I can’t handle it? Suppose I drop it? This was a bad idea. (stands and paces)
Allen -- You won’t drop it. It’s not like a hot potato. Just cradle it in your arms carefully.
Steve -- I don’t know if I can trust myself.
Allen -- You’ve handle others before.
Steve -- But that was different! They weren’t mine! Besides, no one would let me hold one for very long. They’d grab it out of my hands like I was going to eat it or something.
Allen -- Relax, would ya!? You’ve been preparing haven’t you?
Steve -- Forever it seems.
