SCENE 11

THE MORNING BEFORE THE AGENT

PART ONE: ITERATION

(The next morning. MIA’s apartment. ZYN circles his bowl.)

ZYN

The female person fed me three times this morning. Very generous.

I feel I should be suspicious of inattentive but generous guests.

(He swims to his plant.)

ZYN

Petunia?

She isn’t speaking to me.

Suspicious.

Or she doesn’t speak fish. Fish is niche.

Maybe she’s deaf.

(MIA enters, dressed for the agency and checking her phone. She paces, pats her pockets, looks for her keys, and mutters under her breath—the same search, the same mutter, the same as always, only faster. ZYN watches.)

ZYN

(louder)

Hello! Female person!
