Scene One
(Three female students are chatting on a bus.Because all the seats are taken,they are standing,holding onto some plastic rings hanging down from the bus roof.Two boys are sleeping in their seats.Then the bus arrives at a stop and an old woman gets on.She looks at the seats.Seeing no empty seats,she stands next to a female student and holds onto a plastic ring.)
Old woman:There're no empty seats.I guess I'll have to stand.
(The female students find the old woman not having a seat.They want to help her find one to sit in.)
Female student A:We should find a seat for her.
Female student B:Right.Those two bad boys did not give their seats to her.
(The two boys continue to sleep.)
Female student C:We should find a seat for her.
Female students A & B:Yes.
(Female student A goes to Boy A and taps on his shoulder.)
Female Student A:Excuse me,could you give your seat to that old lady?
(Boy A stretches and continues to sleep.Female students A and B look at each other.Female student B taps on Boy A's shoulder.)
Female Student B:Hey!Can you give your seat to that old lady?
Boy A:(wakes up) I lined up for twenty hours yesterday to buy A-Mei's new album.I'm very tired.I'm sorry I can't give my seat to the old lady.(continues to sleep)
Female student C:What should we do?
Female student B:Let's ask the other boy.
Boy B:(gets up suddenly) Ah!
All:(startled)Ah!
Female student B:What happened?
Female student C:Why did you scream?
Boy B:I had a nightmare.It was terrible.
Female student B:Excuse me,can you give your seat to that old lady?
(Boy B falls asleep.)
Female student A:Hello!Is it OK for you to make room for that old lady?
Boy B:Let me sleep,please.I read an English novel all night last night and didn't get any sleep.Can you let me sleep for a while?
Female student A:Well,we've tried.
Female student B:The young man is really brash.
Old woman:Thank you,young ladies!I'm OK!Don't think I'm an old woman.I am healthy.(makes a few kicks like a young man)
Female student C:Maybe we worry too much.The old lady's very healthy.
(The bus driver hits the brake suddenly and the old woman falls over.It makes Boy A wake up.)
Boy A:Oh!Are you OK?
Old woman:Oh!Oh!My waist!
Boy A:You can take my seat.(helps the old woman to the seat)
Female student C:Hmm.He just got his conscience.
Female student A:Yeah!I was just about to say they got no manners.
Female student B:Yeah.I thought he was a cold-blooded animal.
Boy A:Hey!Watch your own manners.I've given her my seat.I'm really very tired.
(At this time Boy B is embarrassed.He dares not continue to sleep.)
Old woman:Thank you,young man.I'm old and useless.
Boy B:Don't say that.If I'd given you my seat earlier,the accident wouldn't have happened.
(The bus driver hits the brake suddenly again.Boy A falls down.)
Scene Two
(The Old woman and Boy B sit in the seats.Boy A is standing behind the three girls and drowsing.The three girls continue to chat.Boy A is drowsing carelessly and bumps into Female student A's body.)
Female student A:Oh!Who touched me?(turns her head around and sees
Boy A standing behind her) It's you,right?
Boy A:What?
Female student B:Why?You did it intentionally,didn't you?
Boy A:Wait.I didn't do anything.
Female student C:You touched her intentionally,right?
Boy A:Hey,I'm not that kind of person.(looks at Boy B) Hey鈥 Is it you?
Boy B:(confused and shakes his head) Not me.I was sleeping.
(The bus driver hits the brake suddenly again.Boy A bumps into Female student A again.)
Female student A:(angry) Still saying it wasn't you?You pig!
Boy A:I didn't mean it.
Old woman:Nowadays boys are not the same as those in the past.Boys in the past were all very polite.Now boys are reckless.
Female student C:Now what do you have to say?Apologize to her.Hurry!
Boy A:Alright!Alright!(to female student A) I'm sorry.
(Female student A ignores him and continues to chat with the other two girls.)
Boy A:It's not my day today.
Boy B:Gentlemen don't fight with women.And she's no nice woman.
Old woman:Nowadays girls don't have good temper.Time really changed.
Boy B:Older people know more than us.
Old woman:When I was a young student,I got love letters from many men every day.For the sake of manners,I went out with different men every day.
(Boys A and B don't know what to say.Suddenly the bus driver hits the brake.The old woman bumps into Female student C's hips.)
Female student C:(surprised) You.
(The old woman looks at Female student C and says nothing.)
Old woman:You have nice hips.
Female student B:I can't believe the old woman is capable of sexual harassment.
Female student C:Maybe nowadays old people are not the same as those in the past.
Female student A:Maybe after losing her husband,she feels lonely.
Female student B:Ah!Here we are.Let's get off.
Female student C:We'd better stay away from those strange people.
(Female students get off the bus.)
Boy B:Who are those strange people?They're real strange.(helps the old woman
up) Are you O.K.Those young girls have no sympathy.
Old woman:(feels Boy B's hand) You also have a pair of very fine hands.
Boy B:(startled) What?
Boy A:This old woman is also very strange.
Boy B:Let's go!
Old woman:Don't be shy,young man.I have held such kind of hand for a long time.
(Boy B frees himself from the old woman's hand and gets off.)
Old woman:(looks at Boy A) You're nice,too.
Boy A:Hmm,good-bye.(gets off)
