[Play] Rossom Act 3, Scene 5

 Scene: Everyone leaves the stage and four chairs are placed on stage.  Sulla and Marcus sit in the front seat while Helena and Alquist sit in the back.  Blasters and Science fiction sounds play in the background.

Alquist

Do you know the odds of surviving flying into an asteroid field

Sulla

23 million to 1.  I carefully and rationally made the decision to weigh the odds of our survival before going against a Death cruiser and determined this was our best option.

Marcus

A reasonable and rational decision.

Sulla

Thank you

Alquist

Never tell me the odds!

Helena

I need to poop!

Alquist

I need to pee.

Helena

I’m thirsty

Alquist

Are we there yet?

Sulla and Marcus look at each other with long suffering patience.

Radius

Something familiar about this?

Caretaker

Almost as if the humans were reduced to comic relief to promote our rational and intelligent heroes who actually think about things before they do them.
