Play Pause Cheer

Play, Pause, Cheer

[Three people sit on a chair watching a sports game. Fourth
person finds a remote on the ground.]

123: all are cheering very loudly being obnoxious
4: enters and finds mysterious remote. She looks at the
remote and wonders. She holds it and presses pause
123: all pause with arms in air, open mouths, in process of
standing up
4: presses play
123: resume cheering and sit back down. Focus on game, not
realizing any change
4: presses pause again
123: stop again, 1 has hands close to the mouth as if
eating, 2 and three are high fiving
4: presses play
123: resume watching the game
4: (now realizing how amusing this can be begins to press
pause/play very quickly)
123: stop and go very fast. Random freezing after cheering
and then going back to watching the game
4: finds the slow motion button
123: breathing heavily for a few moments, then when she
presses the button all their actions go into slow motion.
They sit slowly turning their heads from side to side to
each other. Slowly inching closer to the tv. High five on
occasion. Stand up, cheering, mouths open, clapping.
4: pulls up a chair, and watches for a while. Then realizes
she will put them back to normal, when remote breaks. She
tries hitting the remote and still doesn’t work. She
shrugs, and leaves.
