A kid's curiosity

ACT 1. SCENE 5

Lights up on the stage. We see a table and two chairs in the far back, in the center. BEE is sitting on another chair, front of the stage and in the far right. SVEN enters from the left.

SVEN: Back by unpopular demand, it's me! (He sits down in another chair at the front of the stage, far left.)

BEE: Who even asked you here?

SVEN: You did. You said that we should sit down and just do that.

BEE: I was hoping you'd come up with something to do.

SVEN: Me? You trusted me?

BEE: Yeah. You never know.

SVEN: Yeah.

BEE: Do you know anyone famous?

SVEN: No. If Hell existed, would you go?

BEE: Oh, definitely. Yeah, I just have a VIP train room, cabinet, whatever, waiting.

SVEN: Do you go to Hell by train?

BEE: Or swimming.

SVEN: What do you reckon Satan would say?

BEE: We've been expecting you.

SVEN: Of course.

BEE: And then I do a little dance.

SVEN: To seduce him.

BEE: Yeah. It's like "Contact."

SVEN: The movie.

BEE: I find love and instead of God, Satan.

SVEN: It's funny.

BEE: What?

SVEN: Are you religious?

BEE: No. I'm a sinner. It's lots more fun.

SVEN: I was taught without religion. I think I've seen some statues of Jesus around the house. You can't hide from it.

BEE: My family's too critical. They wouldn't judge me, but they explain everything with science.

SVEN: What's that like?

BEE: I haven't got a fucking clue. I don't listen to them.

SVEN: Hey, I get distracted. The other day I found glitter in a cat sand box.

BEE: Yeah. I'm not, and probably won't be religious, I think.

SVEN: Why?

BEE: I don't need something abstract like a god to keep going in life.

SVEN: You need food and water.

BEE: I don't pray. I use God's name in vain.

SVEN: You follow something.

BEE: My gut feeling. I've never needed something else to guide me through the day.

SVEN: Any religion?

BEE: I couldn't care less if you do find comfort in something up there. I don't deny that to you because, honestly, believe whatever the fuck you want.

SVEN: That's life. And knowledge. And my mind.

BEE: Well, imagine all of us following only one religion.

SVEN: Do we have to create that?

BEE: No, I'm saying that I'm interested in some religions, how they work and technical shit, but I can't imagine a new one. And if it existed, it would be really fucking helpful.
