Characters:
ALEX: A very serious, high-strung theater director.
SAM: A laid-back actor who is currently dressed as a giant banana.
Setting: A dimly lit stage.
(ALEX is pacing. SAM stands center stage, looking bored in the banana suit.)
ALEX: (Exploding) It’s about the subtext, Sam! You aren't just a fruit. You are the embodiment of seasonal depression!
SAM: Alex, I’m a banana. I have a sticker on my chest that says "Fair Trade." There is no subtext.
ALEX: There is always subtext! When you peel back the skin, what do you find? Vulnerability! Mushiness!
SAM: I find a guy who’s sweating through a polyester foam suit and really needs a sandwich.
ALEX: (Wiping a tear) Perfect. We open in twenty minutes.
