Monsters John sits in a room pouring over bills and other forms. Alice enters stage right with a raincoat. John gives her a leering glance before returning to his work with a simple, hmph. Alice turns to him, about to spout out more angry shouts, but subdues herself. Its not worth another fight. She exits stage left. John looks towards Alice and throws down his pen and paper. JOHN (Yelling) Im going out for a walk. Alice slowly walks back on stage. ALICE Go. Its easier to solve problems away from them. JOHN We dont have problems Alice, we have issues. ALICE Thats what he is now? An issue? JOHN (Vindictive) Yes. John quickly walks off stage right. Now alone Alice begins to cry. She picks up her cellphone, wanting to call somebody, but realizing she doesnt want to burden anybody stops. Standing up she goes to the sofa upstage left and sits for a good while. John runs back on stage right and exits stage left. Returning to stage while putting on a jacket. JOHN Its raining.

ALICE You forgot? JOHN (Annoyed) I forgot. He begins to walk back Alice pulls on his arm. ALICE Please stay. They lock eyes, and after a while John sits. ALICE Why do you hate him? JOHN Jesus, Alice! I was leaving to forget. She looks at the ground. ALICE What can we talk about then? John stands up. ALICE Dont you love him at all? Walks to far stage right. JOHN Not anymore. ALICE He didnt do it on purpose! JOHN I know. John walks offstage. Alice walks far stage left, and then yells at John. ALICE Youre a monster! He quickly comes back on stage.

JOHN Am I? Or are you? Alice is confused. JOHN Never considered that did you? That maybe youre the monster? ALICE I dont want to kill our son. JOHN Neither do I Alice, but hes already dead. ALICE Hell get better! JOHN It doesnt get better when youre a vegetable. ALICE Just wait. JOHN I cant. There isnt enough money. ALICE Well find a way. JOHN No. Youll find a way. Im done. ALICE Hes your son. JOHN No. My son could run, laugh and play. All this thing can do is sit and breath. Cant even function. A pause follows, Alice is on the verge of tears. JOHN Youre the monster, you know that? You so selfishly want him alive. ALICE I want him to live. How is that selfish? JOHN Do you think he wants to live this way?

ALICE I... JOHN You never thought of it, did you Alice? This entire time you just knew he had to live. Because thats what youre used to, whats convenient. ALICE Murder is illegal John. JOHN Assisted suicide isnt. ALICE Its all the same. JOHN I think he wants to die Alice. Are you ready to accept that? ALICE And let him go? JOHN There you are again. Thinking about yourself. ALICE Youre just thinking about the money. JOHN Yeah. I am. Silence. Alice sits on the sofa and John returns to his table. Alice finally relents. ALICE Are you ready to pull the plug then? JOHN Not yet. Lets wait and see what happens.
