    1. Uh ... well he usually just stops coming in.(as they react)This is different though.

      This moment is essential into knowing what the outcome of the play is about. It is a gateway for the characters to create a doubt within their working space. This doubt that plagues the office represents the downfall of the job and the goal they are all working towards. The overall construction of this moment reveals a sense of unease and creates a feeling of missing something and never knowing the certainty of things, which ultimately create an experience of uncertainty in what the play is trying to convey throughout the play and especially at the end of the play.

    1. . I do, Malcolm. As mad as my madness can be,those feelings have never left. If anything, they've onlygrown. Be with me. Screw these breeders. Let themhave this fight - let them kill each other for all I care.Because if they did, this would be all ours. For the restof our days, you and I could be kings ... and at night, Iwould be your queen.MALCOLM.Don't look at me like that.NATHANIEL. Like what?MALCOLM. Like that. Like you still care. Don't make thatface.NATHANIEL. You used to like this face.MALCOLM.Yeah, and you used to be vegan.------NATIIANIEL. Malcolm. I do care. Very much.MALCOLM.Nathaniel.NATHANIEL. Shhhh.(NATHANIEL grabs MALCOLM and kisses himhard.)MALCOLM.I'm sorry.NATHANIEL.Why?(MALCOLMstabs NATHANIEL.

      This creates an event due to the change in emotions. For example in the beginning, Nathaniel talked to Malcolm like he knew something that Malcolm didn't know and it created a sense of connection with Malcolm for us not knowing what Nathaniel is doing. With Nathaniel pouring his heart out to Malcolm and Malcolm switching up it up with Nathaniel by stabbing him, it created a shift in a connection with the characters. From going from feeling bad that Malcolm doesn't know whats going on to feeling bad that Nathaniel got stabbed after pouring his emotions out, it creates an event within the play.

    1. What I was trying to say before you so rudelyattacked me was - you two just signed your own deathcertificates IF you don't get some help on your side.I'm that help.LUCKY.And why should we trust you?MALCOLM.Well, for one, if I wanted - you'd both be deadright now. And the fact that I ain't slicing and dicingyour crazy redneck bums should be an indication thatI'm not trying or motivated in killing either one of you.JESS. What do you think, Luck?LUCKY. I don't like him.JESS. Yeah, but you don't like nobody.LUCKY. It's safer that way.MALCOLM. Shooting Dingo Tolson is a declaration of waragainst The Devils.JESS.Yeah, we know that.MALCOLM.And if you can't beat me, there's no way you gota chance against The Devils

      This part creates an event due to the addition of a new character. Although it is early in the play the introduction of a character gives the change of an event. With the introduction being solely from Jess's point of view we are also stuck in this point of view with her during the introduction of Malcom. Due to Malcolm saying that if Jess wants to beat The Devils, she has to be able to beat him firsts, makes everyone ask about what is so special about Malcom that makes him on par with The Devils. It creates a tension between Jess and Lucky, and Malcom about the background of Malcom.
