Silence is Not Awkward

Person 1 and Person 2 enter the scene, sit on either sides of the stage, and look at each other. Person 1 smiles. Person 2 stares. It is silent.

Person 2 (looking bored): Well, this is awkward.

Person 2 gets up and leaves. Person 1 looks disappointed. Person 3 sits down. Person 1 smiles. Person 2 stares. It is still silent.

Person 3 (looking freaked out): Well, this is awkward.

Person 3 leaves. Person 1 is now annoyed. Person 4 enters. Person 1 opens a magazine and doesn’t bother acknowledging Person 4. Person 4 smiles for a few seconds. Person 1 eventually looks up, relieved, and smiles back.

CURTAIN
