CATHERINEKeep moving! Nothing to see here!
(She turns her head towards the audience and sees someone approaching)
Hey! Don’t step on the Ant trail!
(She now dives into a plank, covering the ants like a human tent.)
Walk around! Get in the street if you-
(She cocks her head up)
Oh.
(The person she’s yelling at is a very attractive stranger. She now struggles to find a graceful way back to standing)
Um, Hi. Hold-
(She finds her way to a knee)
Hold on.
(To the Ants) Sorry fellas!
(She then cocks her other leg high in the air as she rolls out onto the ground and into standing. She is now VERY close to the attractive stranger)
Um.
(She takes a step back)
Hi! I’m- OH MY GOD
(She realizes she may have stepped on the ants. She does a quick step forward, now again too close to the attractive stranger.)
Excuse me
(She spins in place not knowing where to go and decides to step off to the right. At which point the attractive stranger begins to walk forward and she is compelled to step in his way to protect the ants)
Sorry! Hi. Yes, I know you’re going to work. Um, so are they. Ha. You wouldn’t want a thousand foot tall person blindly stepping on you on your way to work right? (beat) You wouldn’t? Wait. Really? You understand?!
(She turns back to the ants, bends over, ass fully in the air)
You guys, he gets it! Yes! I was just about to!
(She bends back up)
I’m-
(She looks and notices the attractive stranger is gone)
Shit.
