LIGHTS UP: The Japanese businessmen from the fugu play. The fish is even more dessicated. Now a 2nd businessman has keeled over, dead. (That makes two of them.)

A BUSINESSMAN: We’re still waiting. We’re still waiting for you. The fish is stinkier, and we didn’t think that was even possible. We’re reduced to eating it, though, and it’d dangerous. Dangerous fugu.

ANOTHER BUSINESSMAN: Won’t you please let us out? We beg of you!

A THIRD BUSINESSMAN: We are begging. BEGGING!

-

FIRST BUSINESSMAN: Ah, well. Back to the fugu.

They raises their forks to eat big forkfuls of fish. As the forks get to their lips…

BLACKOUT.

END OF PLAY.
