Scene 2

A woman cleans a spotlessly white kitchen. She is thin with perfect skin. Her cheekbones are like little ski resorts at the top of mountains that have beach resorts at the bottom. Her kitchen is taken from a homemaker's magazine. She finds a spot on her counter. She cleans it.

She scrubs it.

She scours it.

She abolishes it.

She buffs it.

She wipes it, satisfied.

The phone rings. She lets the answering machine get it. She leans against the counter and listens.

Answering Machine : Hello? Richard? Hello? Is Richard there? Hello? It's your mother.

She hangs up.

The woman resumes cleaning.
