Spotlight on 1
A and B appear at the sides of 1.
They are dressed in government style suits and ties.
1 feels extremely vulnerable.
Suddenly A begins to speak.
A. I love you.
1. Really? Wait... Really? No one has ever loved me before. All this time I thought you hated me. And you loved me? Oh my god... I think I'm about to cry. I'm sorry. This is not at all how I expected my first I love you to be. But... It's great. I feel so loved. Hahaha. I guess thats what happens when you're loved.
B. You're perfect.
1. Pardon? Do you... Do you really mean it? All this time I thought you hated me. And you thin I'm perfect. Hahaha. Oh My god... I think I'm about to cry. I... I have always hated myself. There was nothing I liked about me. And you think I'm perfect? Oh God. Someone in the world Loves me and someone thinks I'm perfect. This could quite possibly be the happiest day of my--
A&B. Now change.

A. Have you ever dieted?
1. You-
A. Because you really should.
1. Ok.
(Silence.)
A&B leave.
1 is alone.
1. How quickly and strangely things change around here.
1 Looks to the sky.
1. I'm ready to wake up now.
