Doing Nothing: A Short Play

 By Nate Feldman

 Dan and Bradley are roommates in a small house.  One weekend morning, Dan goes downstairs and sees Bradley lying on the couch in the living room.  The room is a mess.  There is clothing, food, and papers lying everywhere.  Dan and Bradley have an argument.

 Dan: Bradley!  What are you doing?!

Bradley: I'm doing nothing man! 

Dan: I can see that.  Do some housework!  This place is a mess.  You don't do anything ever!

Bradley: That's not true!  I do some things.

Dan: Yeah, what do you do?

Bradley: I do the groceries sometimes.

Dan: Yeah, I give the money, and I do the cooking.  The only thing you do is eat and make a mess!  I do all the cleaning afterwards!

Bradley: You also do all of the complaining.  Have some fun for once!

He is distressed. “Officer,” he says. “Someone took my wallet.” “OK,” the officer says. “Where did this happen?” “I was taking the train to work,” the man says. “When I got off the train, my wallet wasn’t there. Someone took it.” “OK,” says officer Richards. “Are you sure someone took it? Maybe it fell out.” “No, there was a man taking the train with me. He ran into me. He put his hands on me and said he was sorry. I think he took the wallet then .” “ OK,” replies officer Richards. “Did you take a picture of him with your phone or something?” “No, unfortunately not,” answers the man. “This case may take time to solve then,” says officer Richards.
