Around him are all kinds of dinosaur toys.<br /><br />MAN: I AM SO TIRED. I AM GLAD I CAME HOME FROM WORK EARLY, SO THAT I DON'T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING ELSE TODAY.<br /><br />WIFE: SO BASICALLY TODAY IS LIKE EVERY OTHER DAY?<br /><br />[pause for audience laughter. curtain closes]<br /><br />ACT TWO: SAME KITCHEN TABLE, A FEW MOMENTS AFTER THE FIRST SCENE.<br /><br />MAN: DO WE HAVE ANY OF THAT PIZZA LEFTOVER FROM LAST NIGHT?<br /><br />WIFE: WE DIDN'T HAVE PIZZA LAST NIGHT.<br /><br />MAN: WHAT? I AM 100% SURE I ATE SOME PIZZA LAST NIGHT. <br /><br />WIFE: THIS PLAY SEEMS TO BE DRAGGING A BIT.<br /><br />MAN: PERHAPS SOMETHING WILL COME ALONG IN THE THIRD ACT TO LIVEN IT UP AND PROVIDE SOME MOTIVATION?<br /><br />curtain<br /><br />ACT III: SCENE: THE TOP OF A VOLCANO, WHICH IS IMPROBABLY SITTING ATOP A GLACIER IN ANTARCTICA, WHICH FOR SOME REASON IS LOCATED ON THE EDGE OF THE GRAND CANYON, WHICH FOR SOME REASON IS ON MARS.<br /><br />MAN: GRAB MY HAND! IT'S THE ONLY WAY TO RESCUE YOU FROM THAT PRECIPICE YOU'RE HANGING FROM UNDERNEATH WHICH FLAMING ICE CROCODILES OF MARS ARE WAITING FOR YOU TO FALL SO THEY CAN EAT YOUR SOUL!<br /><br />WOMAN: I... CAN'T... QUITE... REACH... IT!<br /><br />MAN: I DIDN'T NEED THIS MUCH MOTIVATION! I WOULD HAVE SETTLED FOR SIMPLY BEING PROMISED PERHAPS $15 OR MAYBE A FREE BOOK FROM THAT GREAT INDIE PUBLISHER, PLANET 99 BOOKS! THAT'S ENOUGH TO GET ANYONE TO DO ANYTHING!<br /><br />*curtain*<br /><br /><br />Watch for the thrilling conclusion of this play in future comments. <br /><br />Anyway:<br /><br />1. Iron Man: ALL THE MONEY.<br />2. The Great Gatsby. A LESSER AMOUNT OF MONEY.<br />3. Disconnect. VIRTUALLY NO MONEY.<br /><br />I am not sure of the rules of this game, so do I have to say a specific dollar amount? It doesn't matter. I'm playing for pride. And a free e-book. SWEET.<br /><br />Also, as to Gatsby: I'm going to go with EXACTLY 1/2. TO THE PENNY.<br /><br />My God, I am perhaps a lot more overtired after this week than I thought.
