BITTER

Enter YOUNG HELENA and MAN closely followed by OLD HELENA. MAN dressed in slacks and dress shirt storms across the stage. YOUNG HELENA is dresses in a flowered robe, OLD HELENA is dressed in the same. She carries a scotch on the rocks and a cigarette. Nither YOUNG HELENE nor MAN seem to see OLD HELENA. MAN and YOUNG HELENA perform a type of styalized dance like sequence of movement while OLD HELENA delivers the following.

OLD HELENA:
Isn't it funny? This releationship began with you blocking his advances... and now it's ending with you blocking his retriete. He swore it was love at first sight. Swore that you were the one. He loved you for you. But you.... Oh, you... you loved him for what he PROMISED to be. You loved him fro what you thought you culd shape him into. You loved him for the man that you thought he would eventually be... and when he turned out differently than you thought he would. What did you do then? What did you do Helena? You turned your back on him.
(OLD HELENA continues to drink from her drink and gets all the more bitter and excited.)
You thought the little text raps he sent you were pathetic. You thought the emotions he shared with you late at night when both your heads were on the pillow... you thought the emotions made him weak. You turned your back on him and now your surprised that he's turning his back on you. Well I've got news for you Helena, husbands are like fires. They go out when unattended.
(At this point YOUNG HELENA is at MAN'S feet.)
YOU DID THIS HELENA! YOU were too selfish to see anything but all the ways he had let you down. He doesn't love you anymore Helena! LET HIM GO! LET HIM GO! LET HIM GO!
(YOUNG HELENE has ahold of MAN'S ankles like a small child would hold on to the ankles of an adult while they try to walk. As MAN walks off the stage YOUNG HELENA moves her body along the floor, holding on to his ankles the entire exit.)
Figures.
(OLD HELENA exits)
