Dream Cast:
Ann: Nelia Miller Cassandra: Maya Rudolph ANN walks is waiting for her medicine at the Pharmacy inside of SAFEWAY. She has a BASKET of GROCERIES. CASSANDRA is pacing back and forth, anxious. A BROWN PAPER BAG falls out of her BASKET, revealing an unopened PREGNANCY TEST. Ann: (picks it up) Here you go! Cassandra: Oh thank you, so sorry about that. Ann: So! …you expecting a little person? Cassandra: (uncomfortable) Uh…I don’t-- Ann: No like, I mean a baby, not a little-little person. Cassandra: I understood you…but um, no unfortunately. Ann: Shoot I’m sorry, I just saw that fall out of your bag. I should really mind my own business. Cassandra: Oh it’s fine! You’re actually making me less anxious. I’ve been waiting here so long, pacing back and forth I forgot how to breathe. Ann: Wow, what are you waiting for? Cassandra: Hormone medicine. I can’t have babies… Ann: (feels bad, tries to recover) Ah, well I can’t afford life… They share a laugh. Cassandra: Sometimes I wish everyone could just get what they want. Ann: I hear you, sister. Cassandra: But I guess nothing in life comes that easy… Ann: HA! It would be so effing great to have $10,000 right now. Cassandra: It would be so effing great to have a baby right now! Cassandra drops her basket, which causes her CARTON OF EGGS to break. Without hesitation Ann grabs her eggs and hands it over to Cassandra. Ann: Here I don’t mind giving you my eggs. End of Play
