Blogger Word Verification: Sions

LIGHTS UP on a large sign that says, "Sions." A man in overalls, MIKE, is climbing off a ladder. Another man, NORMAN, enters from stage left. NORMAN looks up at the sign, quizzically. MIKE waits, as if for an answer.

MIKE
Well?

NORMAN
What do you want me to say?

MIKE
Do you like it?

NORMAN
It's...wrong.

MIKE
What's wrong about it?

NORMAN
It's spelled wrong.

MIKE
How are you supposed to spell it?

NORMAN
Well, with a "g."

MIKE
...Huh?

NORMAN
Signs is spelled with a "g."

MIKE
[looks at the sign]
Huh.

NORMAN
Not a "g."

MIKE
Not a "g," huh?

NORMAN
No, not a "g."

MIKE
Huh.

NORMAN
Yeah. "Huh."

Pause.

NORMAN
So let me get this straight: You make signs.

MIKE
Yeah.

NORMAN
And you don't know how to spell signs.

MIKE
...Yup.

Pause.

NORMAN
SO...I'll let you get back to it then.

MIKE
Okay.

Pause.

MIKE climbs back up the ladder. NORMAN goes back inside. Lights down.
