MARC: I’m in high school still.

CYNTHIA: So?

MARC: So, nothing is going to happen. Ever. We’ve been through this before.

CYNTHIA: I love you.

MARC: I know.

CYNTHIA: I love you so much.

MARC: I know.

CYNTHIA: I’ll stop.

MARC: I know.

CYNTHIA: I’ll show you how much I love you by stopping.

MARC: I know.

CYNTHIA: Marc?

MARC: Yes?

CYNTHIA: Can we go on one more ride?

(Pause)

MARC: I—

CYNTHIA: Please. Just once. I promise.

(Pause)

MARC: Yes.

(They both sit back in the chair as Marc pulls the baseball bat across their laps, gently.)

CYNTHIA: Hold on tight. You don’t want to fall out.

(They stare out, frozen.)

Blackout.
