Context
Daniel has just introduced the audience to Stuart, a teenager who attempted suicide by overdosing on vitamins and cough syrup. Stuart has suddenly noticed Daniel, and demands to know where he is, if he is dead, why he can’t have pizza. Daniel explains that he is in limbo--that they are existing in the mush of Stuart’s comatose mind, until Stuart makes a decision of whether to live or die. Stuart is profoundly confused, so Daniel tries to explain the “rules” of limbo to him.
