PIANO

What is that?

CURTAIN

Someone didn’t put their prop away!

PIANO

I don’t think it’s a prop, it doesn’t look very theatrical.

CURTAIN

Use your imagination.

PIANO

And it smells like alcohol.

CURTAIN

Alcohol is theatrical.

GHOSTLIGHT

It says hand sanitizer. What does sanitize mean?

PIANO

It means to make sane.

CURTAIN

No, no, it’s about cleaning.

PIANO

That bottle is too small to clean anything big.

CURTAIN

Well, it’s certainly too small to make anyone sane if they aren’t already.

GHOSTLIGHT

I see more out there. In the seats. I can smell it too.

It smells bad. Terrible, actually.

I don’t think Alice is coming.

I don’t think anyone is coming.

PIANO

They always come. It just take time.

GHOSTLIGHT

But time has passed. Time has been passing. Life has been moving and we’re just stuck here.
