SFX: SIGI AND THE FARMER LAUGH. ALEX: (INTERVENES, APPROACHING MIC) Excuse me, Sigi. Can we talk for a moment? SIGI: Talk? Can’t you see that I’m in the middle of a conversation here? ADAM: We can see that, but it’s really urgent. SIGI: (LAUGHS) Urgent, huh? (TURNS TO THE FARMER) These kids today no respect … whatsoever! FARMER: It’s okay, carry on. I think me and you are pretty much done here. SIGI: Okay, then in that case, I will come pick up the common beans this Wednesday. FARMER: Okay. SFX: FARMER LEAVES AND SIGI QUICKLY PULLS ADAM AND ALEX ASIDE. SIGI: (LOW TONE) Why didn’t you call me before showing up here? ALEX: We didn’t have any credit on the SIGI: So you decided to come to my place of business unannounced? ADAM: Look, we forgot, Sigi. And even if we wanted to, we couldn’t because we had no credit. ALEX: Besides, it’s not like we are coming here for nothing. We have business to discuss! SIGI: (SIGHS) Are you stupid or what? You sell me stolen goods, you numbskull! What if somebody gets suspicious? ADAM: We didn’t about that. SIGI: (ANGRILY) Well, next time use your … head! My clients are always here; this is my place of business. I can’t have you coming and going as you please. It would raise suspicion.
