Revenge of the Caregivers
(for Caregivers Anonymous)
(for Caregivers Anonymous)
(not) A monologue by Janet S. Tiger © All rights reserved 2017
HECTOR - I have a fantasy....
(The others protest)
JEANNIE - You can say whatever you want here, you know that, but let's stay within the realm of....how can I put it politely?
GEMMA- Normal?
MATTIE - Not with Hector!
HECTOR - Do not worry my friends, this is a fantasy of the caregiving kind....
FRANK LYN - Even worse!
(They all laugh and Franklin puts the hat back on)
HECTOR - In my fantasy, all of us caregivers are away on vacation...
JEANNIE - Now that is some fantasy!
GEMMA - And how does this happen?
HECTOR - Not sure, maybe the aliens have pity on us and take us away to a giant casino resort somewhere in a galaxy far away....
(He nods to Gemma and she shakes her head)
HECTOR - And all of the patients, and I mean ALL, start walking ....
FRANKLIN - That's a real fantasy!
HECTOR - And they go to.....Washington, D.C.!
(The others ooh and ah)
HECTOR - And after a tiny sidetrip to the Washington Memorial...
(Some have been there, express admiration)
HECTOR - They go to the Congress.....and the President is making a speech, and they shuffle in and they.....protest the way caregivers are treated!
(The others cheer)
HECTOR - And then.....they eat all the brains!
(They laugh and cheer, as it quiets, Franklin is troubled)
FRANKLIN - There's one problem...
GEMMA- One?
FRANKLIN - If they need brains to survive, our patients will all die!
(The others applaud)
HECTOR - Try not to think about this too much.....it's just a fantasy...
JEANNIE - NOT think about it - I think it's gonna be my nightmare!
GEMMA - And how do you figure that all this will happen?
HECTOR - Hey, maybe my secret power is when I think of something, I can make it happen!
FRANKLIN - I can see him now in one of the comics - Fantasyman!
(The others stand and cheer, he bows, lights down, end of scene - or maybe a song next?)
