Scene 7

(Andrew grabs the light, which has been at Rosalba’s feet since Scene 3, and shines it onto Mark J as Owen moves downstage to join Mark L. Jason and Rosalba kiss quietly in the background.)
 MARK J: (while he provides his own accompaniment) This thing speaks. This thing speaks. This thing speaks. This thing speaks I think I think I think I think this thing speaks. This thing speaks. This thing speaks. This thing speaks. I think I think I think I think this thing speaks.
(After a few rounds of the above Andrew shines the light on the collapsed Jacques, who stylistically discovers his hands drenched in [mime] blood then covers his eyes. Andrew turns out the light. This is repeated about three times with Andrew illuminating Jacques from different angles and Owen and Mark L starting the Thang Dance. Andrew then shines the light at Mark L and Owen who sing and do the Thang Dance.)
 O & ML: Don’t talk to us about hidden truth
Don’t talk to us about what’s out there
In the present we sing
In the past we sang
I’ve had about enough of this crazy thang!
Don’t talk to us about the essential self
Don’t talk to us about things that go bump
If it was you called
Then it was you who rang
And I’ve had about enough of this crazy thang!

Don’t talk to us about Wilhelm Reich
Don’t talk to us about C.G. Jung
One of them’s Yin
One of them’s Yang
I’ve had about enough of this crazy thang!
