Subtract

All Characters stand like stone. One blue light comes on More. Two red lights on Less. Three orange lights on Add. One green light on Subtract.

Less/Beautiful: Love.

More/April: Hate.

Add/James: Lust.

Subtract/Bond: (Freaky) Money.

Less/Beautiful: You just messed up the whole moment.

Subtract/Bond: (Retarded) Sorry. You know me. I always mess up stuff.

(All lights up. Set move on [couch brought on stage].)

All Except Subtract/Bond: (Mad) You got that right.

Add/James: (Sits on couch,mad) We were having fun.

Subtract/Bond: (Whispering) For the first time in your life.

More/April: (Digging in his ear like he can’t hear) I couldn’t hear you.

Subtract/Bond: (Loud, while everyone covers their ears) For the first time in your life.

(Subtract/Bond walks off.)

More/April: (Scared) Got it that time.

Add/James: (Sexy) You know what? I starting to getting tired of them.

Less/Beautiful: (Bad attitude) So what are you going to do about?

Subtract/Bond: (Begins off stage, coming from the stairs that come from back stage) Oh, yeah, I’m getting tired of you, too, Add.

(Now on stage)

Less/Beautiful: As I was say before I was so retardedly interrupted what are you going to do about it?

(Pointing to Subtract)

More/April: (Teasing) He ain’t going to do nothing. He is too scared.

(Angrily, Add slaps More. More hits the ground silly-like)

Less/Beautiful: Is that what you are going to do to him?

Add/James: (Touching a knife in his pocket) No worse.

(Lights out. Lights on. Lights on with Subtract/Bond sitting on the couch with Less.)

Subtract/Bond: (Quick) Sorry, sorry, B, B please forgive me, I’m sorry-

Add/James: Shut up.

Less/Beautiful: Ya Please.

Subtract/Bond: (Falls down) Oh.

Less/Beautiful: Everyone be quiet. Bond, get up…

Subtract/Bond: Okay, every time me and him are having a convo they always shows up.

Less/Beautiful: (Grabs her purse) Come on Bond let’s go out.

Subtract/Bond: Ok. (They leave)

More/April: I’m glad they’re gone. Listen, there’s something I need to tell you.

Add/James: (Sits down on the couch) What?

More/April: I’m in love with you.

Add/James: We’ve been through this before. I’m married to Beautiful.

More/April: I don’t care. I love you. (Walking away) I don’t love you.

(Song. Soft light.)
