ACT TWO
SCENE ONE
To the audience.
MATHEW
The paper.
GREG
The article.
CHLOE
The violence.
MATHEW
We had another fight.
GREG
Threw her as hard as he could.
CHLOE
Punched her with all of his frustration.
GREG
Over and over.
MATHEW
I haven't said a word to her in weeks.
CHLOE
It's 4:45 a.m. I hear it hit my porch.
GREG
Turn on my computer.
CHLOE
Listen to the sound of my dad's breathing.
MATHEW
Wave to Margret walking her golden retriever. Put my quarter into the blue box and reach inside.
They all inhale.
CHLOE
Look at it.
GREG
Click on it.
MATHEW
The paper.
GREG
This is the one.
CHLOE
That gives them what they want.
GREG
Details, specifics.
CHLOE
A victim.
GREG
Makes them take me seriously.
MATHEW
It's her favourite thing. For weeks I've kept it from her.
GREG
I read it.
CHLOE
Even though I don't want to. I know what it says.
GREG
Threw her as hard as he could.
CHLOE
Punched her with all of his frustration.
GREG
Over and over.
MATHEW
Again and again. We go through this. Every couple months it seems. She makes me angry. I stop talking to her and take away something she loves. She needs it.
GREG
They need it.
CHLOE
He needs it.
GREG
The truth.
CHLOE
Control.
MATHEW
Discipline. And now I'll give it back to her. Along with an even bigger surprise. Because she's been good—
GREG
Because she let me do my job—
MATHEW
Because I feel guilty—
CHLOE
Because I gave him what he needs—
MATHEW
Because she looks sick… I'm taking her upstairs.
GREG
To a party. A gala.
CHLOE
It's all I can think about. Everything else: Punching. Bleeding. Screaming. I push it out of my mind. Because I'm getting out.
