Kintropy In Action

Setting:  Casting office - waiting room

Cast:  Three, green, bloated, antropomorphic bacterium, sitting on stiff waiting room chairs

Bug #1:  Looking forward to this.  I think I've got a good shot at a speaking part.

Bug #2:  Really?

Bug #1:  Yeah, I know a bug that knows a bug.

Bug #2:  Oh.

Bug #1:  Hey, keep your flagella up!  Kept your day job, right?

Bug #2:  Oh yeah.  Of course.  Very full time.

Bug #1:  Yeah, what'd you do?

Bug #2:  The Kintropy house.

Bug #1:  Really?  That is full time.

Bug #3:  Kintropy?  Awesome.

[Bug #1 & Bug #2 shift to glare at Bug #3 who is lounging splayed out on his chair.  Blink.  Return to conversation.]

Bug #2:  Yeah, delivered my friend, Pink Eye, to both kids last week.

Bug #1:  Cool.

Bug #2:  Invited him back last night for Mom.  Sudden strike - no time to blend the infected eye into the Halloween costume.

Bug #1:  Very cool.

Bug #3:  Awesome, man.

[Pause.]

Bug #2:  Dad's on tea with honey tonight - sore throat.  Plus 2am nursing duties.  Probably calling in sick to work tomorrow 'cause Mom can't sleep with the eye-thing and he's getting sick, too.

Bug #1:  Sounds nasty.  Nice work.

Bug #2:  Thanks - pretty proud of it.

Bug #1:  Kintropy, heh?  You're kind of a celebrity, really.

Bug #2:  You think so?

Bug #1:  Definitely!  They're Legend.  Maybe you do have a shot at this part....

Bug #2:  You really think so?  I'd love to do t.v. pharmaceuticals!  I hear they're lucrative.

Bug #1:  Very - done two myself.

Bug #3:  That's totally tubullar, dude!

Bug #1:  What is your problem bug?

Bug #3:  Who me?

Bug #1:  Yeah you.

Bug #2:  You're seem to be just kind of hanging out.  You don't seem interested in a part. 

Bug #1:  Yeah, haven't seen you around Oregon, neither.  What kind of bug are you, anyway?

Bug #3:  Check this out!  California SuperBug.  Cool, right?

Bug #1 & #2, turning away:  Figures.
