Scene 2

(Mark J resumes on the skins.)
(Andrew suddenly illuminates Jacques. Owen and Mark L stand by the microphone. Jason stands a little out of it and smokes a butt.)
 JACQUES: A question suddenly arises.
A question (O & ML chime in) suddenly arises.
JACQUES WITH O & ML: A question suddenly arises.
A question suddenly arises.
 MARK L: What’s the question, Jacques?
 OWEN: Yeah, tell us, Jacques.
 JACQUES: YOU WANNA KNOW?
 MARK L: WANNA KNOW?
 JACQUES: YOU WANNA KNOW?
 OWEN: WANNA KNOW?
 JACQUES: YOU WANNA KNOW?
 O & ML: (they pause, look to each other, then speak) WE GOTTA KNOW!
(Mark J stops.)
 JACQUES: (full of bravado) In the case … of the knowledge … yielded solely to the subject’s MISTAKE … what kind of subject could ever be in a position to know it … in advance?
(Owen and Mark L are shocked. What a question!)
 JASON: Well, ummmm, (Owen and Mark L are even more shocked by Jason’s interruption and Andrew whips the light around and illuminates Jason) that’s easy …
(Owen and Mark L are completely flabbergasted by Jason’s outrageous assertion and Andrew, in direct response, simply turns off the light. Mark L resumes on skins and in the darkness Andrew drops the light off at Rosalba’s feet.)
