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/
