Why don’t you just let him sleep on your shoulder? He seems like a nice boy.

No! It’s a violation of my personal space and . . . no!

Look, you’re being a huge distraction. The sooner you let him nap on your shoulder, the sooner we can get back to watching the play and—

Me! I’m distracting?! But he... he’s the one who wanted to take a nap on me!

And that doesn’t bother me!

Aahh! Fine. I . . . If I’m the problem then . . . I’ll just leave! Okay. I’ll leave! (CAROL storms offstage.)

Good riddance, if you ask me.

I just wanted to take a nap.

Understandable. It’s a long play. (MIKAEL takes a seat. They start watching.) You’re welcome to take a nap on my shoulder if you like.

Actually, I don’t even think I’m tired anymore. All that yelling . . . I’m wide awake.

Well, if you change your mind, you’re more than welcome to. I feel like my shoulder is pretty soft. All things considered.

I will keep that in mind.

I think I’m lonely.
