SARAH sits at a bar with her face on the bar.

There are 7 or 8 empty glasses of various sizes around her.

SARAH is still as a rock.

BARTENDER enters and pokes SARAH.

She moves around a bit and pops up.

SARAH: What?

BARTENDER: Hey.

SARAH: What?

BARTENDER: Ummm…

SARAH: What?

BARTENDER: Do you think you have a problem?

SARAH: What?

BARTENDER: Like a… drinking problem?

SARAH: What?

BARTENDER: Do you think you have a drinking problem?

SARAH: Do I think I have a drinking problem?

BARTENDER: Yes. You are here every day and you get like… this. Everyday.

SARAH: No.

BARTENDER: What do you mean, no? I serve you drinks everyday until –

SARAH: No I do not have a drinking problem.

BARTENDER: … You don’t think you have a drinking problem?

SARAH: It’s not a problem because it makes me fucking happy.

SARAH gives the BARTENDER the middle fingers and faceplants back on the bar.

BARTENDER shakes their head and begins to exit.

BARTENDER: I moved to New York for this?

Blackout.

END OF PLAY.
