Only as Sane as You Two boys sit outside, underneath a tree. Sometime ambiguously in the mid-20th century. They are students, 14-16 years old. The conversation is natural, and at times immature and/or vulnerable. Forced recitation of the lines takes away from the integrity of the piece. Boy 1: It’s nice out, isn’t it? Well I guess it’s almost spring. Still, it’s nice. God… I’ve missed the sun. Boy 2: It’s supposed to snow tomorrow, though. At least I think it is. Mr. Walters certainly seems to think that it will. He gave us an additional reading assignment to keep us busy on the off chance it does. I think he’s delusional. Boy 1: He’s incredibly smart though, if you can look past his…well…eccentric behavior. He seems to like you, at the very least. Boy 2: I suppose it’s nice… Did you know he has a son? Boy 1: How old? Boy 2: Sixteen… He’s not in the grade above us. I think he stays at home and is privately taught. I’ve heard… well… he’s maimed. Boy 1: Really? Boy 2: That’s just what I’ve heard. Apparently, Mr. Walters stabbed his son in the eye with a knife. Boy 1: Christ! Boy 2: An accident, of course, but who really knows? They say it was at a steak dinner, and Walters was cutting a steak with a butcher knife and flung the knife up right as his son sat down at the table. Right into his eye. Blind. And he wears an eyepatch so no one can see. Boy 1: God… Boy 2: And he stays in his room, except at night. That’s when he does his schoolwork. He walks through the halls and… well I don’t believe it. I’d be stupid too. If Walters ever did that to his son, he’d kill himself first, we both know it. Boy 1: I suppose… Is he married? Boy 2: Yeah… I’ve seen her once, she dropped something off in his classroom. She’s a hideous woman… she and Walters are perfect for each other. Boy 1: (Laughing) You’re wicked! Boy 2: It’s true… What’s that book you’ve got there? Boy 1: It’s for English. It’s about a 16th century philosopher. Boy 2: Sounds dull. Boy 1: It is… but there’s some things in here that have got me thinking. The trouble is I can barely understand it. Boy 2: Here… let me have it. (Flicking through the book). “Human spiritualism and union of the soul- the intrinsic human experience”- what a load of pretentious- Boy 1: (Cuts him off) Maybe to you. Boy 2: I guess…
