:A2100 A / Time: 2100 EVELYN Well, the help are making sure we have a tight ship here, during these unusual wedding ceremonies. The humming, the incantations, whatever we might call it, continue . . . Wait, I think the Priestess, Yin Priestess Dwallah, is coming out of it now . . . Let's see if we can get closer and pick up what is going on . . . She moves closer. DWALLAH We remember now an Age of Wisdom. We recall now a time, twenty-five-thousand years ago, when Matriarchal Wisdom witnessed the Universal Balance of Yin Female and Yang Male, when Yinless Yang and Yangless Yin came together like magnets in the night. YANG RICHARD I am like a magnet in the night. TRUDY I am like a magnet in the night. YANG RICHARD Yinless Yang. TRUDY Yangless Yin. DWALLAH Attracting like magnets in the night. Yang Wolf hums underneath the ceremony now. YANG WOLF Mmmmmmmmmmmm etc. DWALLAH Oh, Yinless Yang, oh Yangless Yin, do you seek the universal balance without which all joy and peace are uncertain? TRUDY Yangless Yin seeks Yang! YANG RICHARD Yinless Yang seeks Yin! DWALLAH Yin and Yang seeking! Yang and Yin seeking! TRUDY & RICHARD Seeking, seeking! DWALLAH I, the Yin Priestess Dwallah, from the Matriarchal Wisdom of twenty-five-thousand- years ago, when Universal Balance kept all energies in complementarity, I ask you, Yinless Yang, if thou doest seek the principle of Yin into the very heart of your incomplete Yang being? YANG RICHARD Yinless Yang seeks Yin, I do! DWALLAH And doest thou, Yangless Yin, seek the principle of Yang into the very heart of your incomplete Yin being? TRUDY Yangless Yin seeks Yang, I do! DWALLAH Then in the power granted me by the Universal Church of Primitive Balance, and in the grand universal spirit that brings complementarity to all incomplete things, I grant to thee, Yinless Yang, the full female principle of Yin, as bestowed to you by the very female who now takes your hand, granting you Yin . . . TRUDY I grant thee Yin. DWALLAH And to thee, Yangless Yin, I grant the full male principle of Yang, as bestowed to you by the very male who now grasps your other hand, granting you Yang . . . YANG RICHARD I grant thee Yang. DWALLAH Yinless Yang no more . . . YANG RICHARD No more . . . DWALLAH Yangless Yin no more . . . TRUDY No more . . . DWALLAH I now pronounce you Yinful Yang . . . YANG RICHARD Yinful Yang! DWALLAH . . . and Yangful Yin . . . TRUDY Yangful Yin! DWALLAH I now pronounce you Balanced and Whole! YANG WOLF Let's party! Pandomonium among the wedding participants now, lots of hugs and cheering, nothing solemn any more but people ready to have a good time. EVELYN Well, you heard it for yourselves, perhaps the strangest wedding you've ever witnessed, performed by a twenty-five-thousand-year- old Matriarchal Priestess, reached by the spiritual channelling of Cyndi, who apparently has no last name, or none that she admits to . . . witnessing the ceremony was one of the members of the religious order, who suddenly yelled, "let's party!," in surprising contrast to the mystical solemnity of the ceremony itself, and it indeed looks like the rest of this affair is going to be one big party . . . I'm not sure what the guests, the great majority of whom are not members of the religion at all, but Portland guests of the bride, it's hard to be sure what they are thinking right now . . . let me see who I can find . . . wait, the bride is coming by now, here's the bride herself, the former Trudy Brodey, I'm not even sure what her married name is now . . . Trudy! Trudy!, do you have a minute, please? Trudy comes forward. TIME CODE: TRUDY Hi . . . EVELYN Congratulations! TRUDY Thank you . . . Richard comes forward. YANG RICHARD We're very happy! EVELYN Here's the groom, Yang Richard. Let me ask, excuse my ignorance, but, Trudy, how do we address you now, what's your new name? TRUDY Just Yin Trudy. EVELYN No last name? YANG RICHARD Last names are symbols of male tyranny. EVELYN That sounds feminist. YANG RICHARD Heavens, no! We aren't feminist, we don't believe in female tyranny any more than in male tyranny. EVELYN Yet the Yin Priestess Dwallah kept referring to Matriarchal wisdom-- YANG RICHARD She meant the origins, the first nature of all things, Mother Earth, Father Sky . . . TRUDY Let's not get lost in politics today! YANG RICHARD If you'll excuse us, we're going to the bar for some champagne! EVELYN Well, congratulations again! The couple moves off, heading for E but JACK will stop and accost them in B, having come from area G. /ex3/ /ex6/ TIME CODE: 24:30 ?"Follow the newly weds" ?"Stay here" :"Follow the newly weds" Follow the newly weds :"Stay here" Stay here
