Guy 1: Hey, whatcha doing?
Guy 2 : Nothing.
Guy 1: Nothing?
Guy 2: Yeah, nothing.
Guy 1: How can you be doing nothing?
Guy 2: Like this…….. (he continues to stand idly and aloof)
Guy 1: You’re not doing nothing. You’re standing there.
Guy 2: Standing here (pause)……and doing nothing.
Guy 1: No you’re not.
Guy 2: Why not?
Guy 1: You can’t be doing nothing and standing there at the same time.
Guy 2: Yes I can.
Guy 1: The act of doing nothing and the act of standing cancel each other out. To
be standing and doing nothing at the same time would be impossible. (says in a rushed,
desperate manner)
Guy 2: It’s not impossible.
Guy 1: Prove it!
Guy 2: (Continues to stand idly and aloof)
Guy 1: Well?! I’m waiting.
Guy 2: Waiting for what?
Guy 1: For you to prove me wrong.
Guy 2: I am proving you wrong. (Continues to stand idly and aloof)
Guy 1: YOU’RE NOT DOING NOTHING!
Guy 2: Yes I am. (calmly)
Guy 1: No you’re not! You’re standing there, you’re breathing, you’re wearing shoes, and you’re talking to me!
Guy 2: And while I’m doing those things, I’m also doing nothing.
Guy 1: UGH!
A third person comes walking.
Guy 3: Hey guys, whatcha doing.
Guy 2: Nothing.
Guy 1 yells “UGH!” throws his hands in the air in frustration and storms off the stage
Guy 3: What’s his problem?
Guy 2: Don’t ask.
Fin.

this blog is where we'll post play submissions for the 2009 two-minutes play contest as soon as we start receiving them. readers will read and rate the plays, and based on those ratings, we'll narrow down the submissions to a final group. each play must be read by at least three readers.
Who thought philosophy could be this fun?
