Who Are You?
SETTING:
 
 A small sparsely decorated room with a table 
 
 
 and two chairs. At rise we see two men 
 
 
 
 
 seated at the table. The lighting is stark 
 
 
 
 and from above. There is a ghostly pall over 
 
 
 the room.
 
 Slovenko:
 
 So… uh why am I here?
 
 Jean:
 
 That is a good question. Why are you here? 
 
 
 
 How about you tell me.
 
 Slovenko:
 
 Well, I’m a murderer. I killed my 
 
 
 
 
 
 family. I’m dangerous, to myself and 
 
 
 
 
 society.
 
 Jean:
 
 Really? That’s quite interesting 
 
 
 
 
 
 because there is no evidence indicating you 
 
 
 
 killed your family.
 
 Slovenko:
 
 I swear to God, I’m a murderer. You have to 
 
 
 
 take me away.
 
 Jean:
 
 Then what did you do? How did you kill your 
 
 
 
 family? Tell me what you remember.
 
 Slovenko:
 
 I came home from work, and there is see my 
 
 
 
 son playing that d*mn PS3. He was playing 
 
 
 
 some Kill Zone s***.
 
 (Then Slovenko’s son steps forward and is revealed from the darkness)
 
 
 Son:
 
 
 You never get me dad! You never understood 
 
 
 
 me!
 
 Slovenko:
 
 In the morning I see you cutting heads off, 
 
 
 
 and in the afternoon, I see blowing brains 
 
 
 
 out.
 
 Son:
 
 
 I hate you dad! You never ever supported me!
 
 (His son exits into the shadows)
 
 Jean:
 
 That quite interesting, go on.
 
 Slovenko:
 
 I was p*ssed, and I went to my wife. There 
 
 
 
 she began to rant how I’m never home, and 
 
 
 
 how I never do any freaking work.
 
 
 (Wife appears)
 
 Wife:
 
 You low-life git. To think that I married 
 
 
 
 you! You’re a pig and slob. You never took 
 
 
 
 responsibilities! 
 
 Slovenko:
 
 I’m so, so sorry!
 
 (Then she fades away)
 
 Jean: 
 
 That was even more so interesting. So then 
 
 
 
 what happened?
 
 Slovenko:
 
 Well, something just vexed me really badly 
 
 
 
 and I killed them. I remember beating my son 
 
 
 death with his PS3. And I remember 
 
 
 
 
 hacking at my wife with a butcher knife.
 
 Jean:
 
 Well you see. There is no evidence of you 
 
 
 
 killing your family.
 
 Slovenko:
 
 I did kill them. I remember their blood on 
 
 
 
 my hands!
 
 Jean: 
 
 Now listen. You say you claim you killed 
 
 
 
 your family but there is no evidence. 
 
 
 
 
 Actually you have no record of even having a 
 
 
 family. The truth is you’re in an asylum for 
 
 
 the mentally deranged.
 
 Slovenko:
 
 No, I belong in prison!
 
 Jean:
 
 You’re here because you have disambiguation. 
 
 
 AKA spit personality. 
 
 Slovenko:
 
 That’s not true. I’m just a killer.
 
 Jean:
 
 No, you’re just mental. The truth is… I 
 
 
 
 don’t exist.
 
 Narrator:
 
 And Jean walks out and Slovenko finds 
 
 
 
 
 himself alone in a room wearing a straight 
 
 
 
 jacket.
