LIGHTS UP
JANESSA
Gimme!
Gimme!
BEATRICE takes a bottle of pills out of her back pocket and hands it to Janessa.
JANESSA
No way! The government sent you this much?
BEATRICE
Dr. won’t ever even notice that’s gone.
JANESSA
How many should I eat? Like five? Six? Should I just eat the whole bottle?
BEATRICE
I give the frogs a fraction of the pill.
JANESSA
Sweet.
BEATRICE
I thought he was going to fire me, this morning. He’s awake when I get there, and he’s going on about how beautiful life was. I didn’t think he would ever shut his yap.
JANESSA
Maybe he likes you.
BEATRICE
Whatever. Gross.

JANESSA dumps a handful into her palm and tosses them in her mouth.
