[Office sounds in a dark stage.]
[Lights up to reveal Ben typing. There is a naked dead guy on the floor. Paul enters with a cup of coffee and some doughnuts.]
Paul: Mornin’.
Ben: Mornin’.
[Paul takes off jacket, hat, and begins typing. There is a long pause as Paul tries to work, but can’t help glancing at the naked dead guy and checking for Ben’s reaction.]
Paul: Ben?
Ben: Hmm?
Paul: Forget it.
[Long pause.]
Ben: Did you bring me a doughnut?
Paul: Yeah.
[Paul awkwardly hands Ben a doughnut over the naked dead guy. Another long pause. Paul can’t work.]
Paul: Sorry, I just… [points to naked dead guy] What’s that?
Ben: That’s not our problem. Just ignore it.
[Long pause.]
Paul: Sorry. It’s just too distracting.
[Paul puts his hat over the butt of the naked dead guy.]
Paul: That’s better.
Ben: Well, that settles that.
Paul: What?
Ben: It’s your naked dead guy now.
Paul: Huh?
Ben: It’s wearing your hat.
Paul: Funny.
Ben: I’m not joking.
[Long pause.]
Paul: You know, you got here first.
Ben: It was here when I came in this morning.
[Pause.]
Paul/Ben: Mondays.
[Long pause. Paul and Ben stare at each other, naked dead guy, etc…]
[Co-worker enters.]
Co-worker: Hey guys. Whoa! Whose naked dead guy is that?
[Paul and Ben point to each other.]
Paul/Ben: His!
[Paul, Ben, Co-worker laugh as lights fade. Lights stay out as audience applauds. As everything gets quiet, co-worker says in the dark]
Co-worker: No, seriously you guys. Whose is it?
[End.]
