Pedestrians' Rage at the traffic light

SCENE 6



Location - side-walk

Characters - Rage, Jogger and Drunk





Rage approaches green traffic light. The pedestrian in front of him cut his speed.



RAGE

You should be walking faster now! Are you trying to let the red light catch you? I'M NOT.



The light changes to red.



RAGE (fumes)

Fudge!



Rage is distracted by a spectacle at the traffic light. As a jogger waits for the light to change to green, she jogs on the spot. A drunk, occasionally sipping from a can, mimics her.

She yells at him.



JOGGER

Retard!



The light is still on red when Rage reaches there. This seems like eternity. He did not want to stop or slow down. An idea pops into his head. Instead of halting, he walks around briskly - on the spot.


The jogger glances at both Rage and the drunk with disgust, rolled over her eyes then tries to turn her back to them.



RAGE

What’s your problem? You health-obsessed, EXERCISE FREAK!



Drunk cackles.



JOGGER

RetardS



DRUNK(to Rage)

She thinks she is too HEALTHY to associate with us in public.



RAGE
And you are?


DRUNK (excitedly)

My name is.....


RAGE

....I don’t wanna know. Fudge off!



Finally, the light changes to green. Jogger speeds away.



JOGGER

Bye losers!



RAGE

Meanwhile, both Rage and the drunk continue to do their thing. This made it possible for the other pedestrians to move off before them.



RAGE

FUDGE! Slow people are first off the block as usual. At their pace, the red light will catch me here again.


DRUNK (admonishes)

Don’t let them get to you


RAGE

You will get my fist if you hang around a little longer.....SLOW WALKERS


Rage rolls his eyes.


DRUNK (jogs away quickly)

Really rude!


Rage chases the drunk with a brisk walk. The other pedestrians scurry out of the way without being prompted.

Rage grabs the drunk by his shirt collar.



PEDESTRIAN (screams)

CALL THE POLICE!



The drunk spins around and splashes Rage’s face with whatever was in the can.



RAGE

You will never drink alone again, CHUM
