Deadpan Vs. Bonne

(Dark room resonating voice, two women in monochromatic colours based on their names. Toggle on radio dials emitting bits of talk shows, static and random music.)

Red: Wait, wait. Stop the dial...

Blue: What? Here?

Red: No, that's just static. I thought I heard a celebrity's head implode on itself...

Blue: *chuckles* I'm sure that really happened.

Red: You amuse me, really.

Blue: Do I? I amuse myself frequently.

Red sighs as the dials continue turning. Sound of explosions enter the dial and Blue stops playing with the dials.


Blue: Deep in thought now are we?

Red: I contemplate.

Blue: You always are contemplating... What is it this time?

Red: Bombs.

Blue: You can't say that word in planes.

Red: Well aware but what if I wanted to say 'Bons'?

Blue: Like, Bon-bons or Ricky Martin bons?

Red: 'Bonne Nuit'... Who know's one day we'll be on a plane and I wanted to bid you good night?

Blue: Hardly.
