Script writing with Michael

So, last week Michael decided to have our lesson in the park. We were asked to do some script writing (YAY) and experiment with different kinds of format. For example, having only two characters saying on word each, or only having ten lines of dialogue. Here are my ones:

Two characters. Three words.
Person 1: Think of anything.
Person 2: I have nothing.
Person 1: Why don't you?
Person 2: I am stupid.
Person 1: Yeah, I gathered.

Three characters. One word.
A: Fire
B: Extinguishers
C: Foam
A: Party
B: Music
C: La la la?

Ten Lines
A: He's left me.
B: What?
A: He's gone. Left me. Vanished.
C: Why!? I'm so sorry
A: I don't know what I've done to deserve this. I've been so good. I've cared for him...
C: Oh honey, I'm sure Rob will come back
A: Wait, what? Not Rob, Dhillon.
B: Isn't he your dog?
A: Yeah?
B: Oh.

Monologue
Writing a monologue? Seriously, I really cannot be bothered right now. We're in a park. I just want to find the jungle jim and the swings! Is that too much to ask for!? My hand is hurting doing all this writing. I've literally been writing for two hours, now! Okay, maybe not. Twenty minute's maybe but that's not even the point. The point is I like swings. And I just got pen on my chino's. This is just fantastic. Damn pen. Well, at least I've written this poor attempt of a monologue..... Now where's the swings?
