Could be set anywhere where something needs improving

A: But why?
B: What do you mean, but why?
A: What?
C: Jesus, what's wrong with you?
B: Just shut up
A: Geez

...

A: I just don't get it
B: Fine, that's okay
A: But shouldn't I get it?
B: Not necessarily
A: I mean, am I thick or something?
C: No comment
A: Oh hush you

...

B: Who knows why? I mean, why's the sky blue?
A: because of how the light breaks
B: yeah, sure, but why does it break like that?
A: What?
B: It could be yellow just as easy like
A: but it's blue
B: right
A: right
B: so?
A: what I'm getting at is that surely there's a factor, a coincidence or a choice of the creator or whatever that's made it blue, not yellow
C: ever seen the sun set, it gets pretty fucking yellow

...

C: What were we talking about?
A: I was just asking why
B: why's the world so messed up? I don't know
A: I don't get it
C: What's there to get?
A: I just want to understand
B: It's not simple like
A: I guess not
C: nothing ever bloody is, is it?
A: I guess not
B: I guess not

...

A: I reckon we could
B: what?
A: I reckon we could make it better
C: oh here we go
A: no seriously, I think it wouldn't be that hard
B: what, are you gonna?
A: I might
B: you're not
A: maybe I will
B: go on then
A: alright, I will

...

B: Are you done yet?
A: Yeah, I think so, I mean, I could go on, but it's pretty good
B: It is pretty good like
A: I think so
C: can I see?
A: sure
C: yeah, that's better
B: huh (smiles)

    Hi, this is a little experiment in writing, where I will write one short play (most of which will be awful) a day for the month of February. They're not polished, there are no rules, I just write them and post them. But I have to post one a day.
