WAL
So... is this our rent money?
reg
This is all our money.
WAL
(hopeful)
For the week?
REG
Don't be an idiot - for the month. Now shut up and let me think... Rent... car... that leaves us... Um. Ten dollars for food.
WAL
Time to go fishing.
REG
We can't afford the bait.
WAL
I've heard the shiny type of gum wrapper works.
REG
MacGuyver is not real, Wally.
WAL
That doesn't mean it's not true.
REG
Look, just... Just give me a minute. I'll figure this out.
WAL
We could get rid of the car.
REG
I need it to get to work.
WAL
There's a bus.
REG
It costs money.
WAL
The car costs more.
REG
(Long pause. Sigh.)
So we'll sell the car.
WAL
Good.
REG
If no one buys it, we'll just let them reposess it. Neither of us has good credit right now, anyway, so that doesn't matter...
WAL
So how much do we have left for food if we drop the car payments?
REG
Enough not to starve.
WAL
You didn't even recount.
REG
I'm afraid to.
WAL
Think positive, Reggie!
REG
Kind of hard to do when I can fit this month's cash into a baseball cap.
WAL
So don't recount. Come on - it's Friday. We're still eating out on Fridays, right?
reg
Yeah. Yeah, of course... We'll stop at the convenience store on the way back. We're out of milk. And rice. And bread. And-
Wal
Stop it. Let's take the car - might as well use it while we can.
REG
Might as well.
Exit WAL and REG, stage right. Stage lights fade to black.
