A bored Binge is seated at a
wobbly card table strewn
with clutter. His artwork hap-hazzardly
displayed about his yard.
Lance and Jodys car pulls up, they both get out.
A very old dog trials behind them from the car.
Jody
Hiya Binge! Oh, I see that you are having a yardsale.
Lance
Yea, buddy. Why didnt you tell us?
Lance picks
up a circular saw, examines it.
Binge
(mumbling) well... I didnt want you to feel obligated to come by
or anything...
Jody
OH, you know we NEVER miss your yardsales...
Lance also
picks up a
power drill from the table.
Lance
AND THIS IS MINE...
Jody picks
up a toaster.
Jody
I TOLD YOU HE HAD IT!
Binge squirms
as the pile
other goods into their arms.
Both stop and look at a styrofoam cooler.
Scrawled on the side in felt marker:
HUMAN KIDNEY $500
Jody
Oh...my...god!
Lance
DUDE! I told you not to go thru with that idea! Now what if no-one buys
it?
Binge
Its ok, I havent stitched everything back up yet.
From the
back: Binges white T shirt
is soaked with blood.
Jody looks over at a painting crudely
nailed to a utility pole.
Jody
Binge, is that anyway to sell your artwork?
Binge
Its more dignified than E-Bay.
As they
talk, the old dog
pokes its nose into the kidney cooler.
Lance
So have you sold anything yet?
Binge
Just Sugars mailbox.
By her
sidewalk is an empty
post with rusty screws dangle.
Jody
Lets rephrase that, have you sold anything yet that belongs to YOU?
Binge
Hmmmmmm? Nope.
Offscreen
a gagging dog is heard.
Jody
Shes swallowed her tongue again, Lance help her...
All look
over to the dog standing next to the open cooler.
The cooler is empty except for bloody ice water.
The dog gags some more.
Lance
Oh damn.
Jody
BAD DOG! BAD DOG!
Dog makes
a hacking noise.
A
splash is heard.
Jody
Oh good, she threw up Binges kidney.
Lance
EW! EW! SHES EATING IT AGAIN!
Jody
STOP HER!Lance tugs on her collar.
Lance
Come on girl, drop Binges kidney...
Binge
Oh yea, like I want it back now.
Dog burps.
Jody
GREAT! I know shes going to get diarreha now!
Binge
Wheres my $500?
Lance
What?!
Binge
Do to your negligence, your dog ate one of my internal organs.
Jody
UHG! Shell be crapping for days!
Lance
Im not paying you...
Binge
You just fed my body part to your dog.
Lance
It was an accident...
Binge
Well fine. Ill just carve out the other one now.Jody
Give it to him.
Lance
Honeeeeey, you know that is my Jet-Ski down payment money.Jody
Yea, a jet-ski youll never use. Give him the money.
A pissed
looking Lance digs thru his pocket.
Hands it to Binge with a sneer. The money
is intercepted by the hand of Sugar the landlady.
Sugar
Well, thats about a third of it.
Binge
Come on. Well, can I leave now?
Lance
and Jody load up arms with their stuff.
Sugar
WHERES MY MAILBOX?
Binge
Buffet Bob clipped it with his bus and kept going. I saw the whole thing
happen. He was eating chicken wings at the time of impact. Ill swear
to it in court.
Sugar
Sounds like him.
Lance
Will you be by later?
Binge
Uh,
yea. I need to borrow your coffee maker.
Lance and
Jody drive off as Sugar goes inside.
A very pale Binge stands, turns, walks a few steps and collapses.
