Dramatis Personae
Rebecca Tsvirkunov, on a reality TV show
Pong Tsvirkunov, her husband, on the same reality show
Setting
Pong and Rebecca’s bedroom. Rebecca is getting items out of the closet and handing them to Pong as she speaks.
REBECCA: Here’s your blanket.
PONG: Rebecca, I didn’t do anything.
REBECCA (ignoring him): Oh, better take a second blanket. It can be kind of drafty.
PONG: I told you, she tried to flirt with me! And I told her no!
REBECCA: Here’s a couple of flat sheets. They don’t match, but you can’t use the fitted.
PONG: The only time I have ever done anything with your sister was that one time for the camera, and you were there too!
REBECCA: Pillow.
PONG: And that was your idea!
REBECCA: And here are your jammies. Oh, and your toothbrush!
PONG: I haven’t done anything wrong!
REBECCA (sweetly): Really? And who was it caught on tape having lovey-dovey thoughts about my mother?
(Pong gapes at her and allows himself to be pushed out the door unresistingly.)
PONG: That was ten years ago!
REBECCA: Night night. (slams door in his face, then yells through the door) The sofa is downstairs!
