Characters: Older Woman with red jacket and hair that doesn’t move;
Older Man with grey hair and clipped facial hair.
W: Oh, I just don’t understand why she would insist on an annulment. You’ve been married for twenty years.
M: Well, you see, I… strayed.
W: Oh. Well. Well, I can’t pretend I’m not shocked to hear that. But is she really doing the right thing- to ask for an annulment?
M: Weeeeellll…. There’s more to it than that.
…I strayed [Pregnant pause}
with Wendy.
W: !With WENDY!!!!??!?
[Another pregnant pause]
…Your cow??…
M [Looks wretched] Well, we’d been very close lately the two of us…
[Woman jumps to her feet. Hair still does not move]
W: You strayed…with livestock?
…Then it was time to go back to work, so I don’t know how that panned out.
Update 1 November: Brownie has it totally sussed – and I mean completely. You genius!
