Let's trade.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Rodthon: We can't.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Stefanski: Why not?</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Rodthorn: We're waiting for Krstic.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Stefanski: Oh. (Silence.<span style="font-style: normal;">) You're sure we have to wait?</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Rodthorn: What?</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Stefanksi. Wait. You're sure we have to?</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Rodthorn: Inevitably.</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Stefanski: Indubitably.</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Rodthorn: Absolutely.</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Stefanski: Although, not always.</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Rodthorn: That's the idea. Let's argue.</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Stefanski: What if we dealt?</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Rodthorn: Swapped?</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Stefanski: Acquired a power forward.</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Rodthorn: What a nice idea.</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Stefanski: I have a trade.</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Rodthorn: Don't tell me.</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Stefanski: We could acquire...</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Rodthorn: DON'T TELL ME! </span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Silence.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Stefanski: I'm going.</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">He does not move<span style="font-style: normal;">.</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Rodthorn: Let us not waste our time with idle discourse! (</span>Pause. Vehemently.<span style="font-style: normal;">) Let us do something, while we have the chance. It is not every day that we are needed. Not indeed that we personally are needed. Others would meet the case equally well, if addressed. To all mankind, they were addressed, those cries for help still ringing in our ears! But at this place, at this moment in time, all mankind is us, whether we like it or not. Let us make the most of it before it is too late! Let us represent worthily for once the foul brood to which a cruel fate consigned us. What do you say? (</span>Stefanski says nothing<span style="font-style: normal;">.) In this immense confusion, one thing is clear. We are waiting for Krstic to come – </span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Stefanski: Ah!</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Kidd: Help!</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Rodthorn: Or for the offseason.</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Stefanski: I'm going.</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">He does not move<span style="font-style: normal;">.</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Rodthorn: There are merits to alternatives.</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Stefanski: Yes.</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Rodthorn: We could look at power forwards.</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Stefanski: A power forward would be nice.</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Rodthorn: He would open up the middle.</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Stefanski: A new way of doing things.</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Rodthorn: We might win a few more games.</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Stefanski: A series.</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Rodthorn: A round.</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Stefanski: A title.</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Rodthorn: Admiration.</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Stefanski: A title.</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;">(</span>Silence<span style="font-style: normal;">.)</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Walsh: Mister --</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Rodthorn: Approach!</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Enter Walsh, timidly<span style="font-style: normal;">.</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Walsh: Mister Rodrick?</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Rodthorn: Yes.</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Walsh: Mr. Krstic --</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Rodthorn: Obvously... (</span>Pause.<span style="font-style: normal;">) You have a message from Mr. Krstic?</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Walsh: Yes Sir.</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Rodthorn: Well, what is it?</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Walsh: Mr. Krstic told me to tell you that he won't be ready today but surely tomorrow.</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Rodthorn: Tell him... you saw us. You did see us, didn't you?</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Walsh: Yes Sir.</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">He steps back, hesitates, runs off<span style="font-style: normal;">.</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Rodthorn: We've nothing more to do today.</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Stefanski: We could trade.</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Rodthorn: We can't.</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Stefanski: Why not?</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Rodthorn: We're waiting for Krstic.</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Stefanski: Ah. (</span>Silence<span style="font-style: normal;">.) I can't go on like this.</span> <span style="font-style: normal;">(</span>Silence.<span style="font-style: normal;">) I sometimes wonder if we would have been better off alone, each one for himself.</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Rodthorn: It's not certain.</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Stefanski: Nothing's certain.
