Change of Pace

AT RISE:

A MAN and a WOMAN sit on top of some monkey bars. They stare at the sky on a moonlit night.

WOMAN:
Are you a dog person?

MAN:
Not really.

She thinks.

WOMAN:
Then we'll buy a dolphin.

He looks at her, and sees an entire life in the space of a moment.

MAN:
Dolphin it is.

A smile. A kiss. A happy ending.

BLACKOUT. END PLAY.
