Starring: A & B
The kitchen. A and B stand in front of the open refrigerator:
A
You have it.
B
No, you have it.
A
I think you want it.
B
I don’t.
A
No?
B
Because I want you to have it.
A
Why?
B
I think you want it.
A
I only want it as much as you want it.
B
I don’t want it.
A
So we both don’t want it.
B
Yes, no.
....
A
I want you to have it though.
Even if you don’t end up having it.
B
I’m not going to have it.
Even though I want you to too.
A
I’m not having it.
B
Nor am I.
A
Then we’ll leave it. It keeps.
B
But
Why would we leave it if we don’t want to have it?
A
Right
No need
…
A
Are you going to trash it?
B
I was wondering if you were.
A
You seemed to not want to leave it.
B
You agreed we shouldn’t.
A
So let's trash it.
B
Yes, let’s.
A waits for B. B waits for A.
A
I
I want it
B
I
I want it too.
…
…
A
You have it.
B
No, you have it.
And so it goes.
