Plays Don't Suck - Bench Plan To Take Over The World

We've really got to get back to writing soon, before we forget how.  It appears that we have four options in front of us at the moment:

  • Write that theatrical play we've been talking about
  • Start a whole new movie script
  • Write that book we've been talking about
  • Help our friend erect a stage in the middle of the street so she can sing

TRICIA
Wait, what?

SIANA
Well I sort of volunteered your amazing set building 
services to our friend the singer so she can put on a 
vocal performance.  I said if she can't find a venue we'll 
just build her a stage in the middle of the street.  
You know, like we used to in the old days.

TRICIA
Yeah, that was fun when we used to do that.  I want to 
write the play.

SIANA
You always want to write the play.

TRICIA
I know, I like plays, we're good at that, when we write 
plays they don't suck, like our screenplays suck.

SIANA
Well we only wrote one screenplay, maybe the next one won't suck.

TRICIA
Maybe, but the play definitely won't suck.

SIANA
Fine, but I have a great idea for the new screenplay, it's a secret though.

TRICIA
Well you have to tell me so we can write it duh.

SIANA
Ok, but nobody else.

Siana then tells Tricia about the secret screenplay.  Tricia loves it and is so excited she jumps up to change the baby's diaper.  Siana then does a 7-11 run to get some much needed snacks so the Bench can continue it's plan to take over the world.

Siana is gone a long time, Tricia wonders if she's coming back.  Finally Siana returns with a crazy story.

SIANA
I think it's like Freaky Friday or something because ever 
since you've sort of dropped out of society, people have been 
talking to me like they used to talk to you.

TRICIA
Oh no, did you wish you were me and then I wished I was you 
and then you said "If I was you I'd never let people talk to me" 
and then now that's happening.

SIANA
Yeah, maybe.

TRICIA
So what happened at 7-11?

SIANA
It's a long story, I'll make it short.  A random man started 
talking to me, wouldn't leave me alone by the slurpee machine, 
then the coke slurpee didn't work, and then he accosted another 
group of people who then crowded around the slurpee machine blocking 
my access, so I went to another 7-11 and their coke slurpee machine 
didn't work either so I just ended up with cherry.

First 7-11 Location


Slurpee machine not working, notice the blurry red light

Second 7-11 location


TRICIA
Wow, you went to two 7-11's.  What about all the chips?

SIANA
I wanted to make sure all the cheese chips groups were represented.



TRICIA
Ahh, awesome, Munchies, this is the one that has all 
the crazy stuff in it.  I love it, give it to me.

SIANA
Why did you give me this affliction?  Why do people keep 
talking to me?  This is like the second time this has happened 
to me in the last few weeks, what is happening?

TRICIA
It's the law of nature or physics or something.  If one of us 
is out, the other one has to take on the weirdos in this world.  
You're just going to have to take one for the Bench. 

SIANA
Fine.  But I'm going to need more Chili Cheese Fritos. 

TRICIA
Don't worry I'll be out and about soon enough and then the 
weirdos will all come back to me.  They come to me, like bees to honey.

SIANA
Wait, but bees make honey,  I don't get it?

TRICIA
Or it's like bears to honey, or whatever, anyway they'll find 
me and leave you alone soon enough.

SIANA
Cool.  So let's write the play, or the screenplay, or the book, 
or something.

TRICIA
Whatever we decide at least we're writing.  Pass me the puffed 
cheese flavored corn please.
