For ease of reading, the full text is Here.This is Sayrah's Actor's text and blocking notes. Because I didn't come in until halfway through the scene, and I leave before it finishes, I've only included the section of text THAT WOMAN is actually on stage. Actor's text is in (italics) and blocking is in (bold). Enjoy!
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
(The door dings and THAT WOMAN enters. WOMAN is wearing a red dress, long black trench coat, and sunglasses. WOMAN walks up to the counter.) CLERK: Hi. WOMAN: Hi. Um. (Points out items.) Pack of Camel lights. Matches. A Milky Way. And a state map. Ohio, right? (Where the hell *am* I, anyway?) CLERK: Oklahoma. WOMAN: Birthplace of James Dean? (Try to distract him from noticing I don't know where I am.) CLERK: You're thinking of Indiana. WOMAN: Yeah. Hey. Nice entrance wound. (Points it out.) (Be cool. He's just been shot. Maybe he's cool too.) CLERK: Thanks. Anything else? WOMAN: How 'bout a Pudding Pop and... Got any phosphorus? (BE COOL, maybe he won't think it's an odd request.) (CLERK places a glowing jar on the counter.) CLERK: Last jar.
WOMAN: Great. (Finally. Somewhere with phosphorus. Now I can finally...)
CLERK: Selling like hotcakes ever since...
(CLERK gives THAT WOMAN a very arch look.)
WOMAN: What? (Oh no. He's not cool at all and he's gunna figure it out pretty soon...)
CLERK: Ever since...
(CLERK grabs a tabloid and flips through till she finds a picture. WOMAN tries to hide herself inside jacket.)
CLERK: You're her, aren't you?
WOMAN: Who? (Sh*t. He knows. Maybe he won't call the cops.)
CLERK: That Woman! That Woman! I thought so. You poisoned all those guys. Used phosphorus on a couple of them. You started a real trend with that one.
WOMAN: I used freon a few times, too. (Play it cool. Maybe he'll just drool over me.)
CLERK: But phosphorus is so much cooler.
WOMAN: It's a fast but fantastical death. (You wanna die that way, buddy?)
CLERK: You're the first celebrity I've ever had in here. Oh God, my hair.
WOMAN: You look fine. (It's in the bag. This guy doesn't know where his drawers went he's so infatuated.)
CLERK: Oh, God, thanks.
(The door dings and LUCY returns and hands over the key.)
LUCY: Thanks. Hey. Is that... phosphorus?
(The CLERK directs LUCY's attention to THAT WOMAN with a cough and a look.)
LUCY: Is it really you?
CLERK: It's her! LUCY: I can't believe it's you! CLERK: Neither can I! LUCY: The Pretty Poisoner! CLERK: The Terminal Traveler! LUCY: The Lethal Lover! CLERK: The Kiss-n-Killer! LUCY: The Dame of Death! WOMAN: That's me. (Oh dear GOD, now there's TWO of them. Make them stop!) CLERK: That's her. LUCY: Wow. CLERK: Wow. LUCY: Wow. CLERK: Wow. LUCY: I'm... overwhelmed. I think you are beautiful and incredible and brilliant. WOMAN: Why? (I really want to know.) LUCY: Because you are... fearless. WOMAN: Just because I kill people with no regard for the consequences? (Why do people like that I kill people? Why do I like that they like me? Why haven't I been caught?) LUCY: But you don't kill people. You avenge. You aspire. CLERK: Totally. WOMAN: I'm a walking tabloid. I'm an icon for the demented. I'm inhuman. I'm alone. (You've been reading magazines too much. You don't know me. Go away.) CLERK: I close in five minutes. LUCY: But you're a genius. CLERK: If you want anything else... WOMAN: Yes. (Maybe some butane for my lighter.) CLERK: You want something else? LUCY: Yes. CLERK: Help yourself... WOMAN: I want. (What's this chick's problem? I'll test her. See if she's really a fanatic. She won't call the cops.) LUCY: I want. (They eventually start to overlap.) WOMAN: I want to lose five pounds.(Can you handle this? Can you follow me?) LUCY: I want a dimple right here. WOMAN: I want night vision. (Switching it up. Can you keep up?) LUCY: I want blue eyes. WOMAN: I want altitude. (Can you? Are you worth my time?) LUCY: I want fuel. WOMAN: I want to break the law of falling bodies. (Are you intelligent?) LUCY: I want to spin on the axis. WOMAN: I want my own new moon. (Can you pass my test?) LUCY: I want to shake across fault lines. WOMAN: I want to power to the nth. (Can you follow me?)
LUCY: I want to solve you for me.
WOMAN: Solve for x. (You messed up.)
LUCY: Stop.
WOMAN: Accelerate. (You lose. Too bad.)
LUCY: Wait.
WOMAN: A body in motion continues in motion unless- (I don't stop for anyone- )
LUCY: I want to follow you.
WOMAN: -unless acted upon by another force. ( -Least of all you.)
LUCY: I want to follow you.
(Silence. No one moves.) LUCY: Let me follow you. WOMAN: I have to go. (This woman's just another crazy. I need to get away or she'll do something stupid.)
LUCY: Let me go a little way with you. WOMAN: No. (Right, like I'd take a fanatic like you with me.) LUCY: Please. WOMAN: Get lost, Gidget. (Get away from me. I don't need baggage like you.) LUCY: I'll call the police. WOMAN: Fine. (Like you'd call the police on your idol.) LUCY: I'll tell them I saw you. WOMAN: Go ahead. (Do you have the balls to do it? No. We just proved that. Think on that for a while.) (THAT WOMAN exits. The door dings.)
