              (Two actors enter from different sides, very upset)

1 -  I want you to give me the money!

2-  Okay

             (They exit, to return quickly)


1- I hate you and never want to see you again!

2-  Okay

             (They switch sides of the stage, turn around)

2- The world is a total loss!
1-  I agree

             (They go to different parts of the stage)

2-  I do not want to become a doctor and you can't make me!
1 - Whatever you want

           (They put on different hats)

1- I had an affair and there's going to be a baby!
2- No problem

           (They take off jackets)

1    2 -   I’m gay
2    1 -   No problem!

They go to opposite ends of the stage

1-  I completely agree with everything you say
2- (angry)  Well I disagree with everything you say, so there

1- Well you're an idiot!
2- It takes one to know one!

      (They start arguing, turn to exit then stop look back)

1- Wait, are we.....
2 - Disagreeing?

1 - I think so!
2- Finally, a conflict!

        (Smiling, they hug, walking off)

1&2 -  NOW we have a play!

    
        (The beginning....of some play somewhere)
----------------------------------------------------------

When a viewer commented that the characters were disagreeing with each other, Ina commented....'If they agreed, there wouldn't be a play'.....but maybe there can be a duologue!
