One act, two parties
The action takes place in a NYC police station on a Saturday afternoon in the present day.
Characters:
NYPD DETECTIVE DUMBO—male, late 30s
NYPD OFFICER MULE—male, early 30s
JOHNNY VOTER—male, early 20s
AT RISE: As the lights go up, we see Dumbo, Mule, and Johnny in a locked room. A very nervous Johnny is seated at a table.
MULE: (to Dumbo) So, what we got here?
DUMBO: One of them punks from today’s protests. Him and his pals think they have something important to say and it’s okay to break the law to say it.
With that, Dumbo delivers a hard slap to the back of Johnny’s head…so hard that Dumbo shakes his hand in pain afterwards.
MULE: (to Dumbo) You okay?
DUMBO: I’ll be fine. Ain’t no protest punk that can hurt me. They’re powerless.
