This might interest you. The old military reserve at the end of the road has been booked and reserved for a high school function in a couple of weeks’ time. I thought it might be a useful event for you to observe. I told you. I’m skipping this town. I’ve been here too long already. Hey — chill out. Take a break. Have some fun while you’re here. It’s a great town. Come on. Whaddya say? Me? Why only me?

SCENE FIVE

Lights up on LONI alone at Nightcliff Jetty. It’s late afternoon. DWEEZIL approaches and sees her. After much deliberating, he decides to try to speak to her.

DWEEZIL

Hi.

LONI

(doesn’t have a clue who he is) Hi.

DWEEZIL

You’re Loni, right?

LONI (warily) Yeah ... Who are you?

DWEEZIL

Dweezil.

LONI

‘Dweezil’? Bad luck.
