:G0730 (G) /en6/ /en8/ TIME CODE: 07:30 WAITPERSON and YANG RICHARD meet in area G. Waitperson is interrupted at some task or other. YANG RICHARD Lovely view, isn't it? WAITPERSON Pardon me? YANG RICHARD Of the grounds. WAITPERSON Oh. Right, it is. YANG RICHARD I know: you see the resort all the time. Your senses are stale with habit. WAITPERSON Not really. I'm just too busy to notice it much of the time. YANG RICHARD A sad state of affairs, nonetheless. WAITPERSON I enjoy it when I can, believe me. In fact, it's one of the best things about the job. I grow arrugula in the herb garden. YANG RICHARD You often have weddings here? WAITPERSON Quite a few. Not usually so -- well, different as this one. YANG RICHARD So unChristian, I suppose you mean to say. WAITPERSON People don't usually write their own ceremonies, is what I mean. It's usually the same old stuff, "Do you, George, take Laura" and all that. I'm looking forward to what you've got planned actually. YANG RICHARD Breaks the monotony? WAITPERSON Sure. Nothing wrong with that. YANG RICHARD What's your name? WAITPERSON Brad/Brenda. YANG RICHARD I'm Yang Richard. WAITPERSON Nice to meet you. YANG RICHARD Can you imagine a world in which no moment is monotonous? Where every moment is fresh vision! The eternal present tense! WAITPERSON I can imagine it, I just wouldn't get my job done. YANG RICHARD But what if your job was to make sure the world was fresh and born anew each day? WAITPERSON I can't imagine someone paying me to do that. YANG RICHARD Money, money, money. It's the blinders on the culture. In the Universal Church of Primitive Balance, you don't need money because you don't have a use for it. What does money buy? Food, shelter, material conveniences? If these are provided, what use is money? WAITPERSON You're telling me your church is communal, right?, that you share and share alike, something like that? YANG RICHARD The Church owns many communal resorts, as well as private homes. WAITPERSON Everyone gives their money to the Church? YANG RICHARD It's the highest form of balance. WAITPERSON Balance? YANG RICHARD The primitive balance that puts all things in proper order and perspective. We did not begin with Money, we humans. We invented it -- think on that a moment ... we INVENTED it. Money does not exist, except that we deem it to exist! JACK sees WAITPERSON now and is gesturing, unseen to Yang Richard, for Brad/Brenda to join him in area F. WAITPERSON Well, my landlord could care less if we invented it or not, he still needs his rent on the first. YANG RICHARD Rent is shackles, is what I'm saying. Money is prison. WAITPERSON Not much I can do about it -- nice talking to you, man. Look forward to your wedding. He moves to join JACK in F. /ex8/ Yang Richard moves off, will join Cyndi in A. /ex6/ TIME CODE: 09:00 ?"Follow Waitperson" ?"Follow Yang Richard" :"Follow Waitperson" Follow Waitperson :"Follow Yang Richard" Follow Yang Richard
