RECK and IMA MONOLOGUE (thick southern accent, uneducated) Hi, ah… my name is ah.. RECK… Reck Jr.. I was born in Toph-ee’ North Car-lina. My daddy was a tater’ farmer. My mama raises hounds, hunter hounds… mostly rabbit hunters. My mama was 41 years younger than my daddy when he died makin’ love to her. My sister just turned 17 and she is a newlywed. She is 39 years younger than her husband. She is with child. Like I said my name is Reck Jr., I am 43 years old and I ain’t never been married, but hope to be married some day. I figure if I’m like my daddy, my future wife might be only two or three years old right now. But I really, really like this older woman. Her name is Ima and she is 33 years old. She is a southerner. I generally like southerners better than northerners, westerners are okay. Ima recently moved to Tucson, Arizona, and I fallered’ her. She ain’t all that happy ‘bout that, but my daddy said if you find a woman you really, really like, you’d better get a bridle on ‘er or she’ll get away. So here’s my story.

The students stand up and start walking out. UNIVERSITY LIBRARY - DAY Two polished, preppie type guys sit at a library table. BRENT, older than Phil, stares into space with FRUSTRATION on his face. Phil, his chum, quietly turns pages in a book. BRENT looks
