ANDY AND AL IN THE GARAGE FROM "THIS IS HOW THE PLAY BEGINS (Variation #1)"

AL leads ANDY into the garage. It is barren – maybe errant papers, paint cans, inoffensive debris.

AL
So it's uh…
Yeah, room for two cars.

Hope that'll be enough.

ANDY
We–uh…
There's only two of us.

AL
What?

ANDY
(?)
Yes.
This is plenty.

AL
Good. :)
That's good…

ANDY
Hey, Al?

AL
Yeah? :|

ANDY
Look, I…
If it's not a good time.

AL
You're here aren't you?
Yeah?

ANDY
Yeah.

AL
Then, well… >:|
Then it's a good time.
It's good enough.
Good enough time to–

ANDY
Yeah…but, we can always–
Maybe this just isn't the time.

AL
It'll never be the time! >X|
Shit. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry for yelling.

ANDY
You're right.
You are absoutely right.
I'm sorry for–
I don't know what it's like.
I couldn't imagine.
And–nothing I could say could–
approach being…at all…sufficient.
I know. Uhm…
But if, well, ya know…
Charlie and I don't know anybody
and–I think, it would be nice to.
Have dinner or something um, you and Paula?
And uh…or ya know, if you just need somebody
to talk to, I'm more than happy to–

AL
Can you accept my apology?

ANDY
(?)
Yes.
I accept.

AL

Okay.

I guess we lost Charlie, didn't we.

ANDY
Uh, yeah.
I guess we did.

AL
Shouldn't keep them waiting.

AL leaves, ANDY follows.
