Tati as TATI
Tony as TONY
ACT 10 SCENE 2
THROUGH THE BLOWING HOLE
Tony comes into the room with a sad face.
TONY: I have news.
Tati blows soap bubbles from a little bubble wand.
TONY: Actually, it’s two pieces of news. Which first? Do you want the good news or the bad news?
TATI: Start with the good.
TONY: Okay, well… Ray gave Mooreeffoc five stars and wrote a brilliant review.
Tati continues to blow bubbles. It looks like she’s trying to get a very big one, but it bursts every time. Tony looks quite annoyed.

Tati looks musingly at all the bubbles floating around.
TATI: And no one can accuse us that all our reviews are written by friends and family members. Sycophants!
Tati’s gaze settles on Tony and his ridiculous clown hair.
TATI: By the way, you need more shampoo.
She holds up an empty shampoo bottle and wiggles it in Tony’s face.
Tony tries to speak, but only bubbles come from his mouth. Each one floats towards Tati and pops, revealing a letter. They spell out…
