Cast:
Phil: Tall, black hair, pale in complexion. Piercing blue eyes and a matching tie over his plain
white t-shirt. Has lived in America all of his life and feels like he knows what is best for the
country, even though he is only 24.
Martha: Phil’s mother in her late 40’s, though she looks 60. Has a history with drug abuse of all
kinds, but she has been clean for 11 years now. Dressed in loose, torn up clothing by choice.
Stan: Phil’s extremely gifted 7 year old son. Eyes like his father’s, blonde like his deceased
mother. Dressed in a suit coat and a blue bowtie, combed back hair, and dress shoes, as if he was
going to go out to vote.
Stage Directions:
The morning of voting day at an unknown U.S. town of an unknown year in the future. Takes …show more content…
Phil: (angrily) Well then, Stan, who do you think should lead us?
(Sudden silence. Stan looks up at Phil, who is red with rage. He looks back down at his toys.)
Stan: I like Roberts.
Martha: He does have nice hair.
Stan: Like a pillow.
Phil: (confused) I can’t vote for Andrews because he is fake, and I can’t vote for Hughes because
he’s bald. Who am I supposed to vote for?
Stan: Roberts.
Martha: Or Stewarts.
Phil: (irritated) Stewarts? Do you want to know why I refuse to vote for Stewarts?
Martha: (sarcastically) Because she’s a woman?
Phil: Oh you women, always standing up for each other!
Martha: Then what is your reason?
Phil: (irritated) I don’t need to answer you!
Stan: But what is your reason, Daddy?
Phil: Well I’ll tell you son. (these next lines are said rapidly as if he is ranting) I can wrap up
my explanation in two words, as a matter of fact. South. America. More specifically Argentina.
Argentina has had woman leaders. They have one right now. What has Argentina done for the
world? Nothing. Zippidy-do-da. Right now is a terrible time to be a South American.
