people swaying/rhythmically

they sway, rhythmically - you'll see how later.

1: a surprise!
2: it's always a surprise.
1: is it?
2: it should be.
1: it is?
2: it ought to be an unfortunate surprise.
1: sit.
2: nah.
1: it isn't always a surprise.
2: it surprised me.
1: did it?
2: well, no.
1: it did me.

they stop swaying.

2: you've been the funerals?
1: the final-final-finality-finalisticalfinal?
2: yes.

they pull out small dolls. they have no faces or hair or features, but are just bodies with arms, legs and heads. each has a string attached.

1: then yes.
2: and?
1: i couldn't tell.
2: but was it a surprise?

they begin swaying again, slowly.

1: yes.
2: was it on purpose?
1: it's debatable.

they drop the dolls but hold the strings. they stop swaying, but the dolls with nooses around their necks sway, in unison and rhythmically. the end.
