SCENE 2

(In the waiting room, Catchick now sits no longer in her costume.  She looks like an ordinary citizen.  Dogboy enters, also looking like a regular person.)

DOGBOY

Hey there.  How are you?

CATCHICK

Fine.

(Dogboy is willing to chat but Catchick is not.  She looks at a magazine.  Smack enters looking normal as well but very grumpy.  Smack sits next to Dogboy.)

DOGBOY (CONT.)

Hey. Do any good smiting lately?

SMACK

No... do I know you?

DOGBOY

I'm... I was... Dogboy.

SMACK

So, how are things for you?

DOGBOY

I'm not chasing cars anymore.  That's been nice.  How are you?

SMACK

Horrible.  Lost my job.

DOGBOY

What?  Why?

SMACK

I was a security guard at a carnival.  But losing my superness made me lose my edge.  I just couldn't do my job anymore.  It's like I lost something... a piece of myself that made me better...

CATCHICK

Your spirit.

SMACK

Yeah!

CATCHICK

Our spirit, our mojo... gone.

DOGBOY

So... you're not okay?

CATCHICK

I'm having a hard time fitting in.  It's hard to be normal.

SMACK

Totally.  Being crazy was so much easier.

CATCHICK

At least I had an identity.  I don't even know who I am now.

SMACK

Totally.
