Information
Act Two
Lights up on a negro:
BEVERLY is peeling carrots, real carrots,
on a theater set that looks like a nice living/dining room
in a nice house in a nice neighborhood.
Music is playing.
BEVERLY lip-synchs to the song.
She dances and peels her carrots.
She dances and peels until the music from the speaker
goes a little funny.
There is a glitch of some kind.
It makes BEVERLY nervous.
BEVERLY glares at the speaker.
The speaker fixes itself.
We hear the following conversation,
and it begins in medias res, rapidly, conversationally,
with overlapping text and ad-libbed reactions, stutters, and sounds.
Iâve included stage directions from Act One to give a sense of the timing
that we found in the Soho Rep./Berkeley Rep productions.
But you do you.
SUZE: No no no no no.
JIMBO: No, but if you could choose to be a different race,
what race would you be?
Do you know what I mean?
SUZE: No, I do, but,
JIMBO: No, but like,
like if you could choose to be any race you want,
any race at all,
like if you could choose to be any race at all,
what race would you be? Because like,
SUZE: no, right,
JIMBO: yeah, I think itâs an interesting question.
SUZE: no, sure, it might be, some day,
JIMBO: Itâs definitely interesting.
SUZE: no, yeah.
JIMBO: Because I think about things like that.
Do you know what I mean?
SUZE: Yeah, yeah.
JIMBO: I actually like to think, like to think about things,
you know?
SUZE: Yeah, me too.
JIMBO: Like, if you could choose to be a different race,
what race would you choose?
(DAYTON enters onstage.)
SUZE: I donât think you know what you mean,
do you know what I mean?
JIMBO: What?
SUZE: Like, do you see what youâre asking?
JIMBO: What do you mean?
SUZE: Like, I donât think youâre really looking at what youâre
talking about, do you see what Iâm saying?
JIMBO: Oh, come on.
SUZE: Like I wouldnât. I just wouldnât.
JIMBO: You wouldnât choose to be anything?
SUZE: No, I would never.
JIMBO: Why not?
SUZE: Well, because you just canât change something like that.
JIMBO: Why not?
SUZE: Well, because race isnât something you can change.
I mean, obviously.
JIMBO: I thought you said race is a construct.
SUZE: It is.
JIMBO: So.
SUZE: So just because itâs a construct doesnât mean that it isnât
real, like thatâs not.
JIMBO: Well, that just doesnât make any sense at all.
SUZE: So, if you could choose, what race would you be?
JIMBO: If I could choose I would be Asian.
SUZE: Ok. Wow.
JIMBO: What?
SUZE: No, just you said that so quickly.
JIMBO: Well, Iâve thought about it before.
SUZE: Youâve thought about it before.
JIMBO: Of course Iâve thought about it before.
SUZE: So, like why would you want to be Asian?
JIMBO: I mean, is there something wrong with bein...
