Post Secret: I wouldn't have left him if he had just taken the drugs.

Lights come up on a young couple (man and woman) at the table eating scrambled eggs, bacon, toast, and drinking coffee. WOMAN is eating, MAN only picks at it

WOMAN
Why aren't you eating?

MAN
I don't know. I don't feel like it.

WOMAN
[clearing her plate and his, walking towards the sink, back to him
Well, I wish you would have told me that before I made it.

MAN
Sorry.

there is a pause.

WOMAN
[while cleaning dishes]
Did you take your pill this morning?

MAN
no.

WOMAN
[turning off sink]
Why not?

MAN
I didn't want to.

WOMAN
You're supposed to take it, thats why the doctor prescribed it.

MAN
I don't want to take it, I don't need it.

WOMAN
Don't you want to feel better?

MAN
I feel fine.

WOMAN
No you don't.

MAN
Yes, I feel fine. Please don't tell me how I feel.

WOMAN
If you felt fine you would be eating, you wouldn't be mopping around the house, you wouldn't be sleeping all the time. You are not fine.

MAN
[getting up from the table]
I'm going to be late for work.

WOMAN
I didn't know you still went to work.

MAN exits. Lights fade.
