#30 - Sleeptalking man on the bus

A conversation between a sleeping man and himself.
Overheard on the 82.
A one act play.

Act I

Middle-aged man, fast asleep. Tall in stature, cooped up in the corner at the back of the bus. Wears a bright waterproof and glasses.

Man:  Urrrrrrrggggghhh....... Uhh... Mmmm................ Yes.
          No.................... Blrrrggghhhmm...

Bus is filling up; passengers have no choice but to squeeze in the back and sit next to sleeping man. 

[Silence]

[More silence]

[Yet more silence]

Man:   IT'S NOT BECAUSE YOU'RE A JEW!...

Passengers jump up, eyes wide.
A young man next to the sleeptalker sniggers quietly.

Sleeping man snorts, raises his head, half-opening his eyes but then immediately drops his chin back to his chest.

[Silence ensues]

The End.
