peek and boo discuss life and meaning

Somewhere in this land. Late evening. Peek and Boo sit drinking at the inn.

Peek: It has got to mean something hasn't it?

Boo: Life, it means nothing.

Peek: But do you not think of the man upstairs and what he means?

Boo: Not often ... but too often.

Peek: And do you not think it means something because of him and what will come after?

Boo: What will come after?

Peek: I don't know, something nice and cozy maybe?

Boo: Well then, it can mean that for you.

Peek: What do you mean?

Boo: You can make it mean what you want it to. For me, I make it mean nothing.

Peek: Watch out, here she comes, the widow's daughter.

Boo: Where?

Peek: Behind you .... hello, Seeke.
Enter Seeke in foreground and Hyde in background.

Seeke: Hello Peek, hello Boo.

Boo: Hello Seeke.

Seeke: How are you now?

Boo: I'm fine, I have a glass of wine in hand and a friend to talk to, what more could a man want?

Seeke: A woman to hug.

Boo: The right woman who would hug back, to be sure.

Seeke: And at the right time to!

Boo: Would the time be right?

Seeke raises a wine glass and looks into it, thinking.

Seeke: The time might be right.

Boo: I will see you outside then?

Seeke: Yes, but who will escort Hyde home?

Boo: I am sure Peek will, where is she?

Seeke: Over by the fireplace, shy as always.

Peek: I will show the lady Hyde home, now you two begone!
A whispered aside to Boo.
So it means nothing then?

A whispered aside to Peek.
Boo: It means nothing but perhaps I will try to make it mean something.

Two get up and exit.

By the hair of my chinny-chin-chin, no cliche is safe with me around!
