Final Announcement
MAN 2
Sir, who are you? Where are we?
What is going on? I can’t remember a
thing! This is insane!
Man 2 looks back down the hallway to where the lights
end and turns his head away again in fear.
MAN 2 (cont’d)
It’s just dark. What the hell is
going on? It came from above. What
came from above? A bird? A plane?
Man 2 looks up again at the light.
MAN 2 (cont’d)
A crane. It was a crane! There was a
crane and...and a tower...that’s it,
we were building a tower...a lot of
us and a big man with a crane.
Man 2 looks at Man 1, who is motionless. Man 2 begins
shouting in his face.
MAN 2 (cont’d)
Big man! Big man!
Man 2 grasps Man 1 by the shirtfront and shakes him.
MAN 2 (cont’d)
It was you! It was you with the
crane!
Man 1 remains motionless and passive, staring past Man
2.
Man 2 stands, pulling Man 1 up with him. Man 2 is also
muscular and very strong.
Frantic and sweaty, Man 2 screams in Man 1’s motionless
face.
MAN 2 (cont’d)
Why are we here? Who am I?
Man 2 cries in anger and thrusts Man 1 back down on
the bench. The back of Man 1’s head hits the back rail
of the bench with a thud and he lays there limp, not
breathing, his eyes distant and open, not blinking.
MAN 2 (cont’d)
Oh God! Are you all right?
