SPREADING THE WORD
page 2 HARMONY No. FAITH Well, what do you think— ANGIE How about we descend on him like a wild pack of rabid jackals and shred him as soon as he sets foot in the room? It’ll be like a feeding frenzy, all of us going for vital organs, like his heart. If any of us can find that dry, shriveled, rock hard, hollow, black, little, cold-beating, peach pit. How about we treat him like he’s a wounded wildebeest calf in deep water, and we’re a mindless school of starving Queen Piranha, cruising in like fighter jets over an Afghani wedding party that we rip & tear through all at the same time, until he’s nothing but a stripped pile of meatless bone and odd floating cartilage on the rocky river bottom, which then gets ground into silt by marauding hippos? How about that? Faith & Harmony take in what Angie said. Wow. She’s weird. FAITH Jesus. HARMONY Yeah. ANGIE What? FAITH I’m just surprised they let you work at a health clinic. ANGIE Why, you doubt my qualifications? FAITH Where did you and Ronnie meet, anyway? ANGIE Ronnie? You call him Ronnie? How quaint. Like a fuckin’ Archie comic book character. FAITH Why, what did you call him? ANGIE Ron. Angie looks at Harmony, expectantly. HARMONY … Ronald. ANGIE Ronald? |
