Your assignment is to make a coherent scene from this text
with a story arc, characters, intentions, in which every line
makes sense.
1. You must perform all the lines as scripted in the order
they are written, and ascribed to thecharacters for
whom they are written. Choose which variant (in
brackets) you prefer.
2. You may (must) punctuate your scene (see below for
options)
3. You may repeat words or phrases. Once you you have
moved on to the next line or phrase you may not go
back to repeat (so “What does this … this …this… this
mean?” is OK).
4. You may add non-word noises. You may not add
words.
