Tom: Hello?
Moira: Hello Tom, It's Moira.
Steve: And Steve.
Tom: Oh hey guys.
Moira: Would you be willing to come over tomorrow.
Steve: We have something we'd like to show you.
Tom: Ok.
Moira: Excellent.
Steve: Ok see you at 7.
Tom: Alright. ( Looks at phone after they hung up and hangs up. Tom on phone in a different outfit.) Hey... Lise?
Lise: Yes?
Tom: Have you been over to Steve and Moira's lately.
( Tom comes into house, there is a series of signs that lead him to the couch. He sits down. And looks at the stage. Lights go out.)
Lise: Yeah.
Tom: Do you remember them doing something odd?
Lise: Yeah.
Perry: Oh no, are you talking about that thing at Steve and Moira's?
( Moira enters the stage with a lamp as a staff.)
Moira: I am Artemis, Goddess of the Moon, goddess of the hunt. ( Steve enters,) Who dares enter the realm of Artemis?
Steve: Oh no, I meant no trespass.
Moira: ( Close Up)From now on you will only know pain! ( Points lamp at Steve who twists and writhes and takes off his shirt and then pretends to be a dear) You will sate my dogs next meal.
Tom: I'm not sure what that was supposed to be.
Steve: AAAAAAAAAAAACH!
( Close up on Tom.)
Someone Else: I think it was supposed to be a devised performance.
Al: Yeah that makes sense.
Moira: Who are you, who were you?
Steve: I was a centurion.
Moira: You were a fool!
Steve: And you were a whore!
Moira: You are a whore! That is what it is to be in Rome.
Steve: Rome is a graveyard.
Moira: Rome is a brothel.
( Close up on Tom)
Both: ROME ROME ROME CAESAR CAESAR's ROME.
( Long shot of them)
Steve: I am blind!
Moira: We are all blind.
Lise: Yeah but it had no structure at all. I mean they were doing things that didn't make sense.)
Steve: ( At desk) My summer with sally was the most interresting time I ever had. She and I had many interesting conversations. She was staying in my cottage during the summer while I was working on my novel. I never knew how much she influenced me until she went back to New York to become an Actress. ( Close up on Tom) Oh hello Sally ( Back to them)
Moira: Oh Martin, you're still writing that book. Come outside, we'll have fun talking about the trees.
Steve: Just one more chapter.
Moira: Oh you'll never appreciate my whimsy until I'm gone back to New York, and then where will you be.
Steve: Oh Sally.
Perry: Stop talking about this. I don't want to think about it anymore.
( Film noir style)
Steve: Are you she?
Moira: ( French Accent) I am she. But I may not be the she you are looking for.
Steve: You are, I know you are.
Moira: ... I do many different things for many different people. I am not sure if you are ready for what I will do for you.
Steve: I am. ( Throws voice to make a caw sound) What was that.
Moira: It was a bird, never mind. Kiss me. ( They kiss. She slaps him, they kiss. he slaps her) you're a brute.
Steve: I love you.
Mr.T: Do you think we should talk to them? I mean these are our friends. We care about them.
Moira: Poppa, ever since the war took your voice, I've been so lonely. I don't know to do. There's a boy. Oh poppa, you never could tell me about the world, I had to grow up so fast, I never got to be girl. ( Graps onto Steve's head) Poppa! Poppa! The eternal Autumn is upon us.
Ms. Linternmole: I liked it, I felt like it really connected to me and the inner drama that we all face. It was like a rainbow of human emotion.
( Close up shot of Moira looking intense and then screaming)
Lise: Ugh, the Shakespeare!
Perry: Stop talking about it.
Steve: ( Shakespeare)
Tom: What am I going to do? They want me to come over tomorrow. They're going to ask me what they thought?
Lise: Well I think you should ( Perry grabs phone and then hangs it up on, Tom)
( Tom, Steve Moira eating together.)
Steve: So what did you think?
Tom: Think of what?
Steve: Of the food.
Tom: Oh ... I like the food.
Moira: The food is marvelous Steve.
Steve: Thank you!
( They continue to eat)
