Scene 27: All By Myself
In the set pre-set, there should be 3 heart stools and the 3
booths are facing straight out with red sides facing forward.
The "CLOSED" sign should be lit. There is no pre-show music.
When show begins, lights do not change. Ameer comes on-stage
with a bucket (white, like the Times Square drummers play)
and removes the tokens out of each booth. Hundreds of tokens
should drop from each booth. Ameer then goes and gets a
wheeling mop/bucket and mops out all of the booths. When he
is mopping booth 1, Rhonda enters and they have an exchange.
Rhonda Hey, baby..
Ameer Hey, Rhonda.
Ameer moves to booth 2 and Sherry enters, they share a
moment.
Sherry Hi.
Ameer Oh my god, you show up today. Amazing you show
up.
Sherry I wasn't feeling well.
Ameer You are fucked up.
Sherry Oh don't start with me. I'm here aren't I?
Ameer You piss me off so much.
Sherry I was sick.
Ameer Really?
Sherry Yes, I was sick. You want me to come in when I'm
sick?
Ameer I want you to come in when you say you'll come
in.
Sherry Ameer, goddammit, I'm sorry.
Ameer Yeah, well.
Sherry Jesus Christ, I said I'm sorry. I don't know
what your fucking problem is.
Ameer So you'll stay all day?
Sherry As long as you want.
Ameer You'll be in the booth til 3:30?
Sherry That's fine.
Ameer You'll be on the runway at 4:00?
Sherry That's fine.
Ameer You'll stay till closing?
Sherry Yes, I'll be in the booth till 3:30. Yes, I'll
be on the runway at 4:00. Yes, I'll stay till closing and,
yes, I'll be back tomorrow. What else do you want from me?
Ameer You get off drugs?
Sherry Oh, fuck off.
When he gets to booth 3, Jennifer enters and the pleasantries
continue.
Ameer Hey baby.
Jennifer Hi, Ameer. Oh, Ameer, can I come in at 11:00
tomorrow, I have to take Eric to the doctor?
Ameer Anything for you and Eric.
Jennifer Thank you.
Ameer You look nice today.
When he is finished and the booth doors are closed, Ameer
walks downstage to the side of the proscenium that has the
word "CLOSED" on it, reaches behind the wall, flips the
switch off, then goes to the "OPEN" sign it flips it on.
Music cue.
Scene 1: 100% Pure Love
The minute the "OPEN" sign goes on music starts and the Peep
Show comes to life and the lights begin to flash. Very early
in the music the women (Rhonda-SR-, Sherry -CS- and Jennifer
SL-) step through the doors dressed in very layered clothing,
like for the dead of winter in Russia. During the song, the
women change from these dead off the cold, bitter streets
costumes into the sexily clad, made-up women of the Peep
Show. Their expressions, as well the lights, should be very
subdued with slight, but timed, changes.
Rhonda Oh God.
Jennifer What's wrong Rhonda?
Rhonda I don't think I want to be here today.
Jennifer You say that every time.
Rhonda Yeah, but today it's true.
Sherry Where would you go Rhonda, the weather's shit?
Rhonda It is, isn't it?
Sherry I hate the snow.
Jennifer You don't think it's pretty?
Rhonda I think you're pretty, Jennifer.
Sherry Oh stop it.
Rhonda Don't be jealous.
Jennifer I told you, Rhonda, if I were gay you'd be the one
I'd settle down with.
Rhonda Except I hate kids.
Jennifer You like Eric.
Rhonda I'd be the worst parent.
Sherry No, I would be the worst parent.
Rhonda So how is he?
Jennifer He's still sick.
Rhonda Oh poor thing.
Sherry Did you give him the Drixorel?
Jennifer You cannot give Drixorel to little kids. I told you
that.
Rhonda So what are you giving him?
Jennifer Chicken soup.
Sherry Ooh, that sounds good right now.
Rhonda Didn't you eat breakfast?
Sherry I woke up too late.
Jennifer What time did you go to bed last night?
Sherry You don't wanna know.
Rhonda You gotta get more sleep, girl.
Sherry I know, I know.
Jennifer No you don't, that's the problem.
Sherry Please, I'm fine.
Rhonda You don't eat, you don't sleep.
Sherry I'm fine.
Jennifer We just worry about you.
Sherry That's sweet, but you don't need to, really.
Jennifer Well we do.
After they finish getting dressed, they exit to their booths
and pop into their windows. As they exit, Ameer moves his
stand to the DL position directly facing the house center
aisle. The mood should remain desolate, while the women wait
for customers. When everyone is in place, the first
customers (Bradley and Mike) of the day enter.
Scene 2: First Customers for the Day
(All of the guys will enter straight up to Ameer's stand.
During this scene, Ameer in no way attempts to be friendly to
the customers. He rarely says one word to them, almost
treating them with disdain.)
Bradley Can I get four dollars worth please?
Ameer Do you have anything smaller?
Bradley No, sorry.
Ameer Hold on. (Ameer exits.)
Mike You know, I'm gonna hate myself in about ten minutes.
Bradley Oh, Mike, grow up.
Mike You never feel bad afterwards?
Bradley Never.
Mike Never?
Bradley What did I say, Mike? Grow up. You think I could
ever get Susan to put on a g-string? Fuck me, please! She
doesn't even like to suck my dick. (Ameer comes back. He
gives Bradley change and Bradley exits.)
Mike Can I get 3 please? (Ameer hands over the tokens.)
Philip (Philip enters with bouquet of flowers.) Is
Jennifer in today? (Ameer nods "yes." They exchange money
for tokens.)
Ameer Tokens! Tokens! (Then, whichever is more
theatrically dynamic, we see either token drop and light on
Door 1, 2, 3 in sequence or all at the same time. Either
way, on the last light or lights to go on, the music begins
and the booths start rotating.)
Scene 3: Strobe Light
The booths turns around and the men and women begin to lip
synch to the music, gyrating and whatnot between the
dialogue. When the instrumental section begins, the booths
should start rotating and when the actors are visible to the
audience, different images should be seen. (Bradley ...,
Mike gets undressed all through song until his pants are at
his knees with his boxers on and his shirt and coat are open,
Philip stays in his street clothes staring while Jennifer
performs.) In essence, the booths should "dance" with the
music. Midway through the song, Bradley and Philip exit and
Janet and Shane take their places respectively. When the
dialogue continues, the actors should resume lip-synching
until the end. As the music comes to a close, the men should
exit the booth and the stage. The Curtain closes. Note:
lyrics in italics indicates lip-synched dialogue. (Length of
song: 3:59.)

Strobe light.
b: Strobe, strobe, strobe ... Deidre enters and
crosses to Ameer.
Scene 4: Deidre Asks for an Interview
(Deidre enters at end of previous song. Ameer is reading his
paper. Dialogue begins immediately after last beat of
music.)
Deidre Excuse me, um, I was wondering if I could talk to
the manager.
Ameer I'm the manager.
Deidre I saw the sign out front. So I was like
wondering if I could do an interview or something. Who do I
talk to?
Ameer You wanna dance?
Deidre Well I wanna find out about it.
Ameer Have you done it before?
Deidre No.
Ameer Have you ever been inside a place like this?
Deidre No. Not really.
Ameer So why you wanna work here?
Deidre What do you mean?
Ameer I mean, you never been here, but you wanna work
here, why?
Deidre I have a friend who does it.
Ameer She works here?
Deidre No, but she works in a place like this.
Ameer And she told you about it?
Deidre A little bit.
Ameer What'd she say?
Deidre She said you can make really good money.
Ameer You don't want to work at MacDonald's? Ha, ha,
ha.
Deidre No, I don't want to work at MacDonald's.
Ameer Okay, you come back at 1:00 and we'll see what we
can do.
Deidre So just come back at 1:00?
Ameer Yeah.
Deidre And you'll be here?
Ameer Yeah, I'll be here.
Deidre Okay I'll see you at 1:00.
Ameer What's your name?
Deidre Deidre.
Ameer Deidre?
Deidre Yeah, Deidre.
Ameer Okay, I'll see you at 1:00.
Deidre What's your name?
Ameer Ameer.
Deidre Ameer?
Ameer You got it, Ameer. (Silver Curtain opens to
reveal the women backstage.)
Scene 5: Backstage with the Women
(The women are still in their booth windows.)
Rhonda Ameer was complaining about you all day yesterday.
Sherry What did he say?
Rhonda He was just pissed that you never showed up.
Sherry Oh he's just pissed that I stopped fucking him.
Jennifer You fucked Ameer?
Rhonda Where have you been?
Jennifer You had sex with Ameer?
Sherry I told you that.
Jennifer No you didn't.
Sherry Yes I did.
Jennifer I think I would have remembered that.
Sherry Well it was nothing to remember, believe me.
Jennifer Why would you do that?
Sherry I don't know.
Jennifer Did he pay you?
Sherry No.
Jennifer You had sex with Ameer for free?
Sherry I know I'm fucked up.
Rhonda Remember Heather who worked here a couple of months
ago?
Jennifer Oh god, of course, I remember Heather.
Sherry She was a pig, Rhonda.
Jennifer Oh yeah she really was.
Rhonda I liked her.
Sherry Why?
Rhonda I thought she was cute.
Sherry She had a pickup truck tattooed on her ass.
Rhonda I thought it was funny.
Sherry Why would you have a pickup truck tattooed on
your ass?
Rhonda Anyway, Ameer was always talking about watching us
have sex.
Jennifer He wanted to watch you guys together?
Rhonda And I was like, "Absolutely not."
Sherry That's why you're still here probably, because
you never let him fuck you. Remember Sapphire? She fucked
Ameer the first day she was here and a week later she was
gone.
Jennifer Sherry, that's not true. That girl was a total
wreck. She came in here one day with track marks, Sherry.
Please she was totally crazy. Remember when her and Joanna
got in that fist fight?
Rhonda I missed that.
Jennifer Well believe me, she was really fucked up. I'm glad
Ameer got rid of her.
Sherry I came in with track marks one day.
Jennifer I know you did.
Sherry So should every girl be fired because she likes
to party every once and a while.
Rhonda I hate to break this to you, but track marks is not a
party. Track marks is fucked up and you know that.
Sherry Forget I said anything.
Rhonda You brought it up.
Sherry I was just making a point.
Jennifer What was your point? That it's fine to do heroin
once a week?
Sherry I do not do heroin once a week.
Rhonda Oh my god, you know you do.
Sherry Shut up, Rhonda.
Rhonda You know you do.
Sherry Can we change the subject please?
Rhonda You never want to talk about this.
Sherry I'll talk about anything but that.
Jennifer Well maybe we should talk about the fact that next
week we're all gonna be out of a job.
Rhonda Oh they're never gonna close this place down.
Sherry I hope they do close it down. I'd like to see
Ameer back in Pakistan driving a cab, that'd serve him right.
Rhonda Oh Guiliani's just jealous because everybody's
getting some but him. One hour in my booth and he'd be a new
man.
Jennifer I saw him on TV last night saying he doesn't want to
close us down, he just wants to move us.
Rhonda Yeah, they don't want us within 500 feet of a
synagogue.
Sherry What's that?
Rhonda It's a Jewish temple. Remember that Hassid I had one
day?
Sherry What's that?
Rhonda Sherry, a Hassid, it's a Jewish guy. Remember the
guy with the hat and the long, black coat and the ear things.
That's why they don't want us near a synagogue, we're
stealing all their business.
Jennifer So you don't think we'll all be out of a job in a
week?
Rhonda With a body like yours, you'll never be out of a job.
Scene 6: Katherine and Mike on the Phone
Katherine Mike, what am I going to do with you?
Mike What are you talking about?
Katherine You know what I'm talking about.
Mike No, I don't.
Katherine Don't play dumb, Mike.
Mike What are you talking about, Katherine?
Katherine Where were you just now?
Mike It's one o'clock I was having lunch.
Katherine Really?
Mike Yes.
Katherine Your secretary said you were in a meeting.
Mike You called here?
Katherine Was I not supposed to?
Mike What did she tell you?
Katherine She said you were in a meeting.
Mike Well I was at lunch.
Katherine So you lied to your secretary?
Mike I did not lie to my secretary.
Katherine What did you tell her?
Mike I told her I was going to lunch.
Katherine You didn't tell her, "If my wife calls tells her
I'm in a meeting."
Mike Of course not.
Katherine Why would she say you were in a meeting?
Mike Because she's an idiot? I don't know why.
Katherine Maybe you lie to her too and you don't even
realize it?
Mike Why would I lie to my secretary, Katherine?
Katherine Because you're a goddamn liar, Mike. That's what
you do. You lie to everyone. You lie to yourself, you lie
to me.
Mike I'm not doing this today with you, Katherine.
Katherine Don't you hang up this phone, Mike. I swear to
god, don't you hang up.
Mike Well then calm down.
Katherine No, Mike, I won't calm down because I'm sick of
it.
Mike Katherine, you are out of control.
Katherine No, Mike, you're out of control. Just admit it.
You didn't go to lunch, you didn't have a meeting. Just
admit it, you were at a goddamn peep show.
Mike Oh please.
Katherine Don't say, "Oh please". You know you were.
Mike (in a quiet hushed voice) I don't go to those places
anymore, I told you that.
Katherine Oh I know what you told me.
Mike I don't, Katherine. I was not at a peep show. I was
having lunch and if you don't want to believe me, you don't
have to.
Katherine I'll tell you what I believe, Mike. I believe I
was doing the laundry this morning. And I believe I was
emptying out your pockets. And I believe I found a gold
token. And I believe there were two people fucking on the
back. And I believe it's from a peep show. Am I wrong? Am
I? Are you there?
Scene 7: Jennifer Calls her Son and Baby-sitter
Jennifer How's he doing? Did he take a nap? Is he still
congested? Oh well, that's good. Did he eat anything? Oh
yeah, do you mind? Oh thanks. (She pauses.) Hey baby,
it's mommy. How are you feeling? Yeah I'm at work. Did you
watch your video, honey? Oh that's good. So you're feeling
better? I got a surprise for you.
No, I'm not gonna tell you. Eric, it's a surprise. You'll
get it when I get home, baby. You just have to wait. I love
you, too, honey. That's right, when the small hand gets on
the six. In fact I might be home a little earlier. Try to
get some rest, okay baby? Okay, I'll see you at six. Okay,
put Karen back on the phone. Okay, let me talk to Karen.
Yeah, give the phone to Karen. I love you, too, baby. Okay,
give the phone to Karen.
Scene 8: Ameer and Sherry
Sherry Ameer, do you hate me? Ameer? Ameer?
Ameer What?
Sherry Do you hate me?
Ameer I don't hate you.
Sherry Do you love me?
Ameer Sometimes.
Sherry You still love me, right?
Ameer Oh Yes, Sherry, I love you.
Sherry You do, don't you?
Ameer You make me crazy when you don't show up.
Sherry I'm sorry.
Ameer Were you really sick?
Sherry Yes.
Ameer You weren't with Habib?
Sherry Oh my god, Ameer, I don't talk to Habib anymore.
Ameer You weren't working at Funland?
Sherry I was sick at home.
Ameer Muhammad said he saw you at Funland last week.
Sherry Fuck Muhammad. I don't see Habib anymore. I
don't go over there. I was home in bed. I was sick.
Ameer You weren't doing the heroin?
Sherry Ameer, I was sick. I'm sorry. Next time I'll
call.
Ameer You promise?
Sherry Ameer.
Ameer What?
Sherry Get in here. (He looks around and sneaks into
the booth.)
Scene 8: Mike and Bradley Talk
Mike Do you think I'm an asshole?
Bradley Mike, listen to me.
Mike No, tell me honestly. Do you think I'm an asshole?
Bradley Mike, some woman sits on your lap for five minutes,
you pay her ten bucks. What's the big deal? You jack off,
don't you?
Mike Don't you?
Bradley And do you always think of Katherine?
Mike Do you always think of Susan?
Bradley I never think of Susan, that's why it's called a
fantasy, Mike. Because you're fantasizing. Everybody
fantasizes. It's no big deal. You don't think Katherine
thinks about other men when she's having sex with you?
Mike No.
Bradley Mike, of course, she thinks of other men. It's
completely natural.
Mike So you don't think we're assholes.
Bradley No, I think you're stupid, that's all.
Mike Why am I stupid?
Bradley Because only an idiot would go home with peep show
tokens in his pockets.
Mike So what should I do?
Bradley Buy her flowers, take her to a movie and tell her
you're sorry. She'll get over it.
Mike Do you really think it's that easy?
Bradley It worked the last time, didn't it?
Scene 9: Susan and Katherine Talk and Their Husbands Come
Home
Katherine Susan, be honest with me, am I ugly?
Susan Oh my god, Katherine, no. Absolutely not.
Katherine Am I plain?
Susan Katherine, I don't think Mike goes to those
places because of you. I think he'd go no matter who he was
married to.
Katherine Why do you think he goes?
Susan I have no idea.
Katherine But what do you think?
Susan I don't know. Why does anyone do
anything. He probably doesn't even know.
Katherine I think he knows, but he's afraid to tell me.
Susan How's your sex life?
Katherine What do you mean?
Susan Like does he want to do weird things?
Katherine Of course not.
Susan Maybe he does.
Katherine We talk about everything.
Susan Everything?
Katherine Well, now that I'm working it's a little harder.
Susan Are you home at night?
Katherine Most of the time.
Susan How often are you out?
Katherine I only show houses on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Other than that, I'm home.
Susan Is that when he goes, on Tuesdays and Thursdays?
Katherine No, I think he goes in the city on his lunch
hour.
Susan Well you know what they say, Katherine, the third
year is the hardest. If you can make it to the fifth year,
it usually works out. But the third year is the worst.
Katherine You're in your third year you guys are doing
fine.
Susan I wish I knew what to say.
Katherine I just feel like he's getting bored with me.
Susan You know what I gotta go, Bradley just walked in.
Call me after dinner.
Katherine Don't tell Bradley.
Susan He probably already knows. Call me tonight.
(Bradley enters. Susan hangs up. Katherine exits.) Hey how
was the train?
Bradley Packed. Who was on the phone?
Susan Katherine.
Bradley Did she tell you what happened?
Susan I'm sorry, Bradley, but Mike is disgusting.
She's gonna kill him. Are you hungry?
Bradley I'm starving.
Susan I made salmon. (They exit. Mike enters.)
Mike Katherine, I'm home. (Dead silence.) Katherine?
(Finally, in the distance, we hear her footsteps. Katherine
slowly walks on-stage, stands ten feet from him, stops,
stares at him. He is standing in his suit with his briefcase
with him. Finally, after a long time, she utters:)
Katherine You are so dead. (She walks past him. Mike is
left standing alone on-stage. She yells, as loud as she
can:) Get in here! (He shudders and music begins and they
exit.)
Scene 10: White Wedding
The Silver Curtain pulls on as the men are walking on-stage
into place. Philip, Shane, and Janet (in that order from
SR) with briefcases.
When they reach their places on-stage, they take off their
suits, put on different outfits (Shane is a leather outfit,
Janet is in lingerie and a dress, Philip is in rubber), and
put their suits back on. They exit upstage through the
curtain straight up to their respective booths. (Length of

Scene 11: Whatta Man
The Silver Curtain reopens (on 2nd movement in music) to
reveal the 3 women sitting in their booths. The men walk up
to the booths and talk to the women silently. The booths
rotate 180. Shane is in leather with Sherry. Janet in
lingerie and a dress, talks to Rhonda, she refers to him by
his female name. Philip, in rubber, gets involved in some
sort of dominatrix thing with Jennifer.
Between the choruses of the song, each couple will carry on
the following dialogue. The order of conversation: Sherry
and Shane first, Jennifer and Philip second, and Rhonda and
Janet third. Also, during the choruses, Ameer will cross the
stage and sweep. (Length of song: 4:54)

tongue out. I think I'm in love with you.
Chorus:
Jennifer and Philip Dialogue
Philip You are so fucking gorgeous. Do you know that?
(Jennifer nods.) No, I'm being serious. You're amazing. I
bet guys come in here all the time and tell you how amazing
you are. Don't they? They do don't they? You can tell me.
I won't be jealous. Do you have a boyfriend?
Jennifer Philip.
Philip Oh my god.
Jennifer What?

Chorus:
Rhonda and Janet Dialogue
Rhonda Stand up. Turn around. Will you lift it up for me,
Janet? (Janet starts to lift the dress up.) A little
higher. Come on, Janet, don't be shy. Oh my God, I'm gonna
tell you something right now. Can I tell you something?
(Janet nods "Yes.") This is gonna be our secret, you
understand right? You are the most beautiful woman I've ever
been with.
At end of music (on "Break it down...") the 3 men exit the
booths, walk DS to their original places, take one last over
the shoulder look at the girls, the girls immediately resume
their sexual play with them, the men turn back around with
smiles on their faces and exit off SL. As they are exiting,
Ameer and Deidre enter.
Scene 12: Ameer Interviews Deidre
Ameer Some of the men are really nice and some of the
men are really not.
Deidre But it's safe right?
Ameer Oh yeah, it's safe, of course. But I'm just
telling you some of the men are really weird. Some are
really scary. Some will tell you they want to cut you up in
little pieces. Some will call you names. And some will ask
you to marry them. Never give out your phone number. Well
it's your life, you can do what you want, but we're not
responsible. If some man offers you a bunch of money for
your phone number and begs you to spend the night and you end
of floating in the East River, it's not our problem. You
understand?
Deidre Some girls end up floating in the East River?
Ameer No. If, if you end up in the East River.
Deidre Somebody ended up in the East River?
Ameer No, Deidre, no. Calm down. Just be careful,
that's all I'm saying. Talk to the girls, they'll tell you.
Deidre Are they friendly?
Ameer Some of them are. Some are lesbians, too, so,
you know.
Deidre Oh, I don't care about that.
Ameer Are you a lesbian?
Deidre No.
Ameer You like men?
Deidre Some of them.
Ameer You like Pakistani men?
Deidre Some of 'em. Are you from Pakistan?
Ameer Yes.
