ACT 1
Elias Bouchard does not care about Peter Lukas. Please keep this information in your mind as it is very important for Elias that everyone knows that.
ELIAS: Good afternoon, Mr. Lukas.
His voice is dripping with politeness. He does his best to hide any signs of familiarity in front of the audience. There is no audience.
ELIAS: What a pleasant surprise!
He fills the silence in the time Peter is taking a seat with more unnecessary words. The previously done proclamation could not be any further from the truth. Peter’s presence is no surprise as Elias knew very well Peter was coming. Peter’s presence is also not very pleasant as Elias is still mad at him about the thing that happened the last time. It is not important for the audience to know what was the thing that happened the last time.
PETER: Likewise. Mr. Bouchard.
Peter hates performing the play. It is pointless. There is no audience to perform for and they both know the script. Unfortunately for Peter, he does not have much to say in it.
Oh, yes, and they also happen to be ex-husbands. Important details that should have been mentioned sooner in the script. Apologies.
