[Luce wears a headset like someone might wear when teaching an exercise class. She talks loud and acts like the boss.]
Luce: OK, everyone, listen up. Nobody apologize to anyone for the rest of your lives.
[There's a murmur and some muttering among Everyone Else.]
Mannet: Do we have to take responsibility for our actions?
L: No. I don't want anyone taking responsibility for anything. Not your own actions, not anything else. And I don't want anyone apologizing. Do I make myself clear?
Noofy: What do we do now?
L: Just go about your business, do your jobs, and take long breaks to play cards and some games with marbles. And I don't want to hear any apologizing.
M: Hey! This guy just stepped on my toe!
L: So? What do you want me to do about it?
M [pouting]: Nothing.
L: If anyone even thinks about apologizing, I'm gonna use your head for a yo-yo. All of you. I'm gonna take all your heads and put them on strings from your necks and hold 'em all together like a bouquet of yo-yos. And play with 'em.
N: You said BOUQUET!
[Everyone But Luce gasps.]
L: You guys all suck. You don't deserve a playtime leader like me. I'm leaving. [Luce just stands there with arms folded across chest. Some of the others stare; others take out little toys such as marbles and yo-yos and start playing quietly.]
--THE END!--
