listening in

by Timothy Burns

(Cough)
You should quit smoking cigarettes.

I already did.

Your mom smoked.

She’s dead. (Laughter)

Police department will come
and arrest your mom.

She didn’t do nothing!



They’re gonna win.

Zombies…Schizophrenics

(Blast off noise)

You know she’ll disown you.

You know all the time…Psychological

I’ll beat you in the head right now!
like this VCR!

It’s been a while…

Married to a kid.

I’ll show up one day with a
beautiful woman.

What’re you gonna do?

(Kissing noises)

Ransom and stealing

Really mad

I’ll start stomping her head in
the ground. Get her!

Put her in the car

I opened up her eyes

That’s a scam like Hillary’s doing.

(Laughter) You caught me there!

She did too.

Marijuana…

What about it?

I was seventeen.

Let’s get out of the car
I can’t stand the smell.

(Joint smoking noises)

Meteor shower

That’s all she wrote

I suggested marriage

I took all his toys away

No man…who are You?

(Touches the Television screen)

Pray

I said did you have a problem?

I don’t care about it

I married her.

She asked and I wouldn’t tell her

Go back to the farm, have a good time.

There’s the Sherriff

I said get away from me!

Walk in a cave

(Coughs)
(Snorts)

Dog meat

(Howls)

I really loved the ceremony (said sarcastically)
(Claps)
(Fake Cries)

Bear Claw


McDaniel
Larry

I couldn’t live there

Cop a tree down

Long chain

(Laughs Megalomaniacal)

Fish eyes

Felt like…

That’s what I’m saying.

(Hissing noise)

Fred Flintstone

(Coughs)

Quit smoking cigarettes.

Do you smoke?
(Laughs)

Did you trip her?

(Talks like a baby) H-He get caught!

That’s alright Michael

See you later

(Laughs)

(Sighs)

He did that he’s…

Alright bye, alright bye.

(Laughs)

(Fake Cries)

Author's Note: I work at a library and this guy came one day and sat down near my desk and this was what came out of his mouth.

...non-sequiter after non-sequiter...i love the 'listening-in' part of peeps who talk loud enough to be heard, sorta a "hey! look at me, i can talk." good capture of a human being being human.

I'm not sure which is funnier, a random guy on his phone or a drama student... Either way, glad you wrote it down. ;o)
