Scene

(Scene: A bedroom. Two girls, Sasha and Else, are playing around. A fish tank is on a dresser, with two fish inside, Lola and Silver.)

SASHA: Thanks for coming over Else. I was so bored!


ELSE: No problem Sasha. So was I!

(The girls giggle)

SASHA: Let's play with my Barbies!

ELSE: Cool!

(The girls pull the Barbies out from under the bed. They begin to play with them and silently ad-lib. The lights go partially dim on the girls and come on on LOLA and SILVER'S fish tank)

LOLA: What are those, mini people? The large ones were bad enough!

SILVER: Not mini people, swamp water*, they don't move. See? What did our person call them.....dolls? dar...darbies? Darbies that must be it.

LOLA: Oh well whatever, fish-it-all**.

(SILVER glares at LOLA)

LOLA: What? Oh sorry. Well, they should be more careful with the Darbies!

SILVER: I agree. Look! Pink does NOT go with blue shoes!

(LOLA rolls her eyes)

LOLA: Not what I meant. I mean, they're holding the Darbies so roughly! It must hurt! And all those tugs and jerks....

(Both fish shake their heads.)
