This makes the assumption that #1 is a skull and some bone piles. Skeleton #2 may be more structured or even just a skull. Voices: #2 raspy/deep, #1 higher and screechy 2: Hey, is that your body? That pile of bones? 1: Yep, it certainly is! 2: I guess you really WENT TO PIECES, huh? 1: No kidding, I couldn't help myself! I completely FELL APART when I discovered I was dead. both: 2: I guess you won't be running any marathons anytime soon. 1: You're right about that, but I used to, you know. 2: You ran marathons? Why did you stop? 1: I thought I should quit while I was A HEAD! both: 2: Hey, is that more of your body over there? 1: Yes, I'm completely BESIDE MYSELF! 2: Man, you need to pull yourself together. 1: You're not looking so good yourself, you know. 2: What do you mean? 1: You're just skin and bones, minus the skin! 2: Hey, don't knock my weight-loss program. 1: How does it work? 2: I can eat anything I want, if I can find my stomach! both: 2: Seriously though, I should have enjoyed life more when I had the chance. Still, being dead has its advantages. 1: Like what? 2: Well, for instance, we don't need to figure out voting ballots! 1: Are you kidding? I think half the cemetery voted in the last election! 2: OK. Bad example. 1: Sshhh! Quiet! I think someone is listening in on us. 2: I don't see anyone. 1: When's the last time you saw anyone? 2: Hey, cut me some slack, I've been dead a long time. 1: I know, I've been stuck here with you for an eternity. 2: Dude, get over it. 1: I still think we're being watched! 2: And I still don't see anyone! 1: Uhm, you don't have any eyes. 2: Yes I do. They even glow in the dark. 1: OK, then what am I doing now? 2: YOU'RE A CORPSE. I don't need eyes to know you're just sitting there. 1: *sigh* you've got me there. It's really a drag, being just a pile of bones. 2: I know what you mean. The neighbor's dog won't leave me alone! 1: The dog? 2: Yes, you know what dogs do with bones, right? The last encounter cost me an arm and a leg! 1: How horrible! 2: Yes, I have a bone to pick with him! 1: You won't have any left if he comes back. 2: How right you are. I'll just have to hide behind you if he does. 1: Hey! 2: Sorry. I won't do that to you. There's not enough of you left! 1: Hey! 2: Sorry, sorry. I don't mean to pick on you. I just don't have anything better to do. 1: I know, I know. It's enough to make you want to start drinking. 2: Drinking? Us? I don't think we're capable of that anymore. Although I guess we could have some SPIRITS. both: 1: You know, these jokes are KILLING me. 2: *groan* That's a horrible pun. 1: I can do worse. 2: Please don't. 1: I'd love to go for a walk, but I have NO BODY to go with! 2: Shut up. 1: I know, I'm such a DEADBEAT. 2: SHUT UP. 1: And I'm DYING for a snack! 2: SHUT UP! SHUT UP! 1: My GHOULFRIEND asked me to help with some Christmas decorations, but I couldn't get into the SPIRIT. 2: That's it! You're a DEAD MAN! 1: Thanks for noticing! 2: 1: OK, OK. I'll stop. 2: That's better. 1: I just get a little bored rotting away here. 2: True enough. We have so much time on our hands it's enough to make you crazy. I wish I could get out and see the world one last time. 1: Well, I hate to break this to you again, but you don't have any eyes. 2: CRAP. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
