(A woman comes out. She is barely covered - just the important spots. She is eating an apple.)
Mmmm,mmmmm,mmmm, this is good. I just love these, I don't care what he calls them, I think I'm giving it my own name.......John, Peter, Paul...Mack...that's good, a Mack apple. Juicy and delicious.
(She chomps down, finishes and throws the core away)
I wish we had something to put garbage in.... I hate to just throw stuff on the ground. Maybe that snake will show me where I can get a....what would I call it.....a garbage pail. That's a good name....I just love knowing things......what a great tree!
(She pulls another apple out of her skimpy outfit)
That snaky guy sure was nice. Okay, his skin was a little slimy, but I'm sure that's just adolescence.
And I don't care what honeybunch said, I trusted him. I mean, why do I have to listen to some faceless voice? What did the snake call it when you hear voices? Schizo! I don't wanna be that. Nope, we did the right thing eating these apples.....I mean, what could possibly go wrong when you put your mouth on something that tastes so good.....I have no regrets! Except I look like Daisy May in this outfit, but hey, maybe there's a Nordstrom Tree Rack around here someplace.....
(She is about to take a bite, when she hears a voice, drops down, starts trying to sneak off)
.Our father! Now we're in for it.......I betcha we get grounded!
(She turns to leave, stops, looks back)
Daddy'll never kick us out.....he just couldn't!
(She exits, forever)
