A One-Scene Play:
Setting - inside the car, on the road coming home from a restaurant. Circa three hours ago.
Car screeches to a halt at a crosswalk.
WIFE (exasperated)
You are going to kill a pedestrian one of these days.
HUSBAND (sarcastically)
I know. I suck.
brief pause
18 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER (triumphantly raising her pacifier in the air, a la Rocky Balboa, from carseat in the back)
I-I-I-I-I-I suck!
I SUCK!
I suck!
CURTAIN
