Honey, the champagne, female, 17
Setting: The front door of Honey the champagne’s house. The house is
2 stories. There is flowers all around the house. The
front door is white. The welcome mat is brown. Smells
like flowers.
Time: 12:00pm on a sunny day
At rise: Loving is on the welcome mat in front of honey’s door. He is
getting ready to knock on her door. Honey is on the
table in the living room.
(Loving knocks on the door.)
(Honey opens the door.)
Honey
(Awkwardly) hi
Loving
Hey, what are you doing?
Honey
Nothing
Loving
So you are doing nothing? You have to be doing something.
Honey
I’m just sitting at home
Loving
Why don’t you go do something?
Honey
Like what?
Loving
Like go to the park or go on a date with me
Honey
So all you came over here for is to hit on me?
Loving
No, I was just kidding. I came to say goodbye
Honey
Ooo where are you moving to?
Loving
I don’t know where I’m going
Honey
How don’t you know where you are moving?
Loving
All I know is that I’m going in a box again
Honey
Why do you have to go?
Loving
Because my family is moving and I have no where else to go
Honey
I do not like your family. You should not go
Loving
I do not like them either, but I have nowhere to go if I don’t go with them.
Honey
Why every time you get in my life, you have to leave
Loving
I have to leave. If I don’t, I’ll go in the trashcan. It’s not always my choice to
leave
Honey
So what about that night?
Loving
What night?
Honey
That night you went to that box you love so much
Loving
I don’t love that box. I love you
Honey
If you love me so much, why didn’t you listen to me that night?
Loving
Yeah, I know I should have listened to you that night. That’s why I did 8
months in that box… for not listening to you
Honey
You should have
Loving
I’m over that night and I’m not trying to do that stuff anymore and I don’t
like how you are trying to throw it in my face. I feel like someone is trying
to crack me! I’m a heart of glass and all I want is a good environment not
an environment where all people want to do is smoke and drink. Being
surrounded by all the smoke is making my shine fade, plus one of these
days, someone is going to knock me down and break me.
(Honey is speechless)
Loving
And now I’m going back in a box! I can’t even shine
(Honey starts to tear up)
Loving
I just poured my heart out to you and you’re not going to say anything
Honey
I’m sorry for throwing it in your face all the time but what are you going to
do about it… you say you want a good environment so do I, but I’m trying
my best to do something about it
Loving
Hold on. So you’re trying to have a good environment too?
Honey
Yeah I am
Loving
But your family is so good
Honey
Yeah but I’ve been to so many environments where I’ve seen people who
are so unhappy. I’m champagne! I want people to drink me in a celebration
(Loving’s owner yells that there are only 2 minutes left before they are
leaving)
Loving
Well, I believe you’re in a good place. You’ll be all right. I just came to say
goodbye. I got to go
Honey
No! Don’t go, I don’t want to lose you again
Loving
I have to go it’s not my choice
Honey
What can I do about it?
Loving
Let me move in
Honey
Wait, move in with me?
Loving
If not that what should I do? You tell me that you don’t want me to leave,
but you’re not helping me. I’m trying to do my best, but I guess it’s not
good enough for you like always. But I love you and all I want is you in my
life. The only thing in my way is that I have to move.
Honey
I want someone that is going to love me and care about me
Loving
I’m that one! I’m loving and caring. I seem to attract smokers and drinkers
who end up using me as a weapon instead of treating me like a heart of
glass. But I can show you that I’m that one for you
Honey
How can I believe you? You always disappoint me
Loving
Let me show you
(Honey is silent)
Loving
Man, forget it. I got to go
(Loving turns around and begins to roll away)
(Honey pops her top and loving looks back)
Honey
Maybe there’s other things besides you moving in that we can do. We both
want good environments so.
Loving
Soo…? (Rushing honey for a response) what can we do?
Honey
Let’s run off together
Loving
How do you know we’ll make it out there? We don’t have anything
Honey
All we need is our love and affection and we can make it
Loving
We need a lot more than love and affection in this world. That’s just one of
the things we need. I don’t want to end up in a trashcan!
Honey
Let’s try it. It’s better than the home you have
Loving
So, you’re going to leave your good home?
Honey
If it’s for you I will
Loving
All right, let’s go.
(And they run off together.)
THE END.
