ACT I PROLOGUE

(July, 2006 Bryant Park,Mid-Morning.)

AT RISE: The stage is dark. There is no curtain. A single steel chair is DL. There is a loud rumble of TRAFFIC.

"HANDS COVER BRUISES" SOFTLY PLAYS OVER THE LOUDSPEAKER.

JUNE MCKINLEY (sixty-three, Benny's Mother) enters with the last few audience members. She has on a black, pin-striped dress and heels. She pauses to light a cigarette at the edge of the stage. She paces while looking through her phone directory. She walks to the chair flicking the remains of the cigarette, and speaks to the audience.)

MUSIC FADES AWAY.

JUNENo...I don't know how it happened. It was all a blur. All I remember is one day I was married, then the next day my husband was gone. He wasn't sane. Suddenly, I was signing away his life. I had accidentally checked the box marked committed. The 5150 designation, how could I have known the difference... it meant involuntary commitment. No, The doctors said that they would call me. They did, but I chose not to answer.... No, I paid the bills. Sent his nurses a batch of mini fruit cakes, on all the holidays.... I don't know if they ate them or not... I kept calling them... But the doctor never answered.

(HOUSE LIGHTS begin to dim while a She puts out the cigarette, sits, and waits for her call to be transmitted.)

O.S. VOICE IS HEARD OF AN OPERATOR.

OPERATOR (off-stage)

Hello, Manhattan Psychiatric Center. How may I help you?

JUNEYes, I was wondering if you can locate my husband's files. I am his widow. I've called Dr. Kressembaum, but its been two weeks. I haven't heard a thing from him.

OPERATOR/I'm sorry about that... let me see if I could help you. Last name and first name.

JUNE McKinley, William,I'm June Mckinley.

OPERATORI am sorry but I don't see his name in the computer. We must have misplaced his files. I see his name and the fact that he's deceased but access to the files are denied.

JUNE What do you mean?

OPERATOR (Making an excuse) Well, when there is a death, we move the physical files into storage. Then they are promptly burned in the incinerator if no one claims them. That's what we do to old files.

JUNE/I'm sorry but he was in there for seventeen years.

OPERATORMa'am, is there anything else that I can help you with today?

JUNE//You can call me back when you find the physical flies in storage, if you don't find them, so help me god, I will come down there and ring your neck with...piano wire! Are we clear? /

2.

(JUNE snaps the phone closed and jams the phone in her pocket. She addresses the audience.)

Stage lights come up in the

theater.

JUNE'S SPOTLIGHT GOES OUT.

JUNEI told my son Benny that his father went to Rome. I lied. What would you do if you were faced with telling your son that truth. We moved to Boston to get Ben away from it all. Benny grew up. He went to Boston University and majored in English. He apparently met some girl there as well.... Never introduced me to her. After the gradation party, he proceeded to move back to New York. It didn't work out as I planned. I tried to keep in contact with Benny. I'd call and leave a message. He wouldn't call back. He hardly ever calls me. I guess its a writer's thing.

(JUNE'S cellphone is heard ringing over the loudspeaker in the theater. JUNE continues speaking to the audience.)

God this happens every time I'm here. You forgot to turn your cell phone off, didn't you?... Turn your cellphone off.

(The RINGING continues. JUNE realizes it's her phone.)

I forgot too put it on vibrate. It seems I do this every time. I need to take this...(sheepishly) Sorry.

3.

HOUSE LIGHTS DOWN. SPECIAL FOLLOWS JUNE.

(The ringing ceases.)

OPERATORHello, Mrs. McKinley?

JUNE//Who is this.

OPERATORThis is the admission's office at the hospital. I have found all of your husband's....things!/

JUNE(trying to shut her up.)

Where were--

OPERATOR(speaking very fast.)

They weren't in the incinerator after all. They were in another part of the ward./

JUNEAll right--please shut//

OPERATORWell, it's was quite an ordeal. I had to go through ward A and you know what that's like! and then--/

JUNEJesus H. Christ Out with it!

OPERATORUm, Mrs. Mckinley, we have found 9 boxes. Four of them are William's personal items. You know, from his room. Another four are his psychiatric reports and records. The last one contains copies of all the letters from the doctor. Don't worry I checked them all. Where would you like these files sent?

(A wave of phone static sounds. JUNE taps the phone.)

4.

JUNE (Irritably)

Thank You!! Please send them to my son's apartment. Benny Mckinley, his address is 217 Columbus Ave, New York, New York, 10023. Oh, and just so the boxes do not get lost in transit, would you put a different return address: P.O. box 1429. 1300 6th Avenue, Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, New York 11209.

OPERATORI'll send them myself, right now, don't worry about postage. We're so sorry for your--.//

(A wave of phone static sounds. A dial tone. JUNE stands rooted to the spot.)

JUNEMy what/My...Loss?

(JUNE puts her cell phone in her pocket and shakes her head. JUNE Exits.)

ALL LIGHTS OUT.

I Never Took !e Picture of Her Drinking At !e FountainRichard Relkin

Lucky broke her leg tonight. She’s 14 years old - about 101. She can hardly see, can’t hear, can hardly walk, has lumps and cysts all over a surgically repaired knee. Aging isn’t pretty. She came to me in tragedy. I was working at WLEX in Kentucky one weekend. !ere was a huge thunderstorm and a tree fell on some campers in Somerset County, killing one young man. A few days later, I was con"rming the pick-up of my 6 week old golden retriever puppy - Hachi - named for a loyal Japanese dog who met his master at the train station every day at the end of work... and still went there for years a#er he passed away, living o$ the kindness of the towns-people. When I called, the breeder told me there were no females le# from that group. She must have been given away in the confusion. His son was the person who died in the storm. He gave me pick of the next litter. I sat with all the newborns and met the mom - Betsy. I saw her dad Flash later on. I chose Lucky because she wasn’t the runt, who sat in my lap and she wasn’t the adventurous one who ran across the room. She was happy lying at my feet as I sat on the %oor. A few weeks later, I picked her up, a seven week old mushball of fuzz. She sat in my lap on the drive home, barely the size of my forearm. She looked up at me and I knew I was Lucky to have her. Not exactly an original name but the truth. We lived on a tobacco farm in Lexington, in a pillbox type house in a row of six, overlook-ing a creek and tucked away behind the tobacco curing shed and hay barn. She didn’t have a leash; much less wear a collar for the "rst two years of her life. She completed a dream I had... sit-ting in a rocking chair, looking out over the "eld, rain coming down, singing, playing guitar with my dog at my side. Of course, I’m not a very good singer, and could only play a handful of songs on guitar at my peak, and never for an audience, but that’s beside the point. !ose were moments of pure happiness. I’d come home from work and we’d sit on a futon on one of the porches and I’d hold her up and say, “Did you grow today?” and she had. When we got home the "rst day, it was raining. She went right outside and did her busi-ness, uncaring. Our family dog, Flu$y (original names run in the family) freaked out in the rain and thunder. Lucky could care less. She had maybe one accident in the house, training her was a snap. I taught her to sit, lie down and gimme your paw in one weekend. What I didn’t realize was that I’d actually taught her sign language. We found that out when I took her to the vet one day, to get spayed, I think, and the nurses told me that she kept doing these weird things whenever they pointed to her. I realized that I made an L shape with my "ngers for sit and pointed to the %oor for down and of course gimme your paw was obvious. !is dog was all energy, and with the strongest teeth and neck to match. We’d go into one of the "elds to play fetch, only she never dropped the sticks. So I’d have to get a pile of them and I’d throw them in every direction. She always brought it back to me, but that was an invitation to play tug of war, not to drop it. She never liked tennis balls, just sticks, the bigger the better, tree sized if she could. !ree feet, four feet, ten feet. So we’d go back and forth, I’d throw them le#, then right, then le#, then right. She could keep two or three in her mouth at one time, but then, only with her mouth full to over%owing was I able to get them away from her.

When she was still just a puppy, a bunch of my friends and I rented a minivan and drove to my home in New York. She was still so small that she "t under the seat and spent a great deal of the 14-hour drive there. !e "rst pit stop was for her… in Flintstone, West Virginia on the post o&ce lawn. We all cheered wildly to encourage the behavior. She was still learning the ropes of the whole potty training thing. As it turns out, she had a strict set of rules. She would only go on grass and snow. I can count on my hand the number of times she broke this rule and two of those were in the last six months. One time she even held it in for an entire weekend when she stayed with a friend in the Village. No grass, no pee. I stopped at a snow pile on the way back up to Riverdale and she let it all out. I started running a little bit at night. I’d go from the house to the gate - 6/10ths of a mile and back, several times. !at’s when I heard her yelping. She missed me. I couldn’t stay home and I couldn’t take her to work with me; except when we got 19 inches of snow and she slept with me in the edit suite so I could do the overnight school closings and such. We got stuck on the road back to the house the next morning, inside the gate. She had her stu$ed animal with her, but she kept dropping it. I’d pick it up and she’d bite it and take it from me. All the while we trudged through the snow to try to get back to the house. It was very slow going. In any case, I got her a pet... a cat, Oscar. She loved him. !ey barked and hissed at each other for a half hour when I "rst introduced him to the house. !en had a short "t later that night, but beyond that it was love. !ey groomed each other. Oscar licked her fur. Lucky his ears and butt. Nice. Lucky was very upset when Oscar died and exuberant, whining wildly, when I came home with Claude in the carrier. !is was in Riverdale now. !ey had "ght night. Every night about 8, Claude would stand on his back legs on the %oor or on a chair or couch and he’d swing with a le#, right, a le# or try to bite leg. Lucky would use her mouth to parry and counter attack. It was loud, and great fun for all of us. Rachel got to see this more than a bunch of times. !e "rst time Lucky met Rachel, she knew we were meant to be together. She whined wildly again, ran right up to her and was so excited, she bit Rachel on the nose and actually broke the skin. It was Rachel and I’s third date, I think. One a#ernoon in Kentucky a thunderstorm hit, the kind with raindrops so big they hurt when they hit your skin. !e usually quiet creek was racing, not over%owing its six feet deep banks like it did one summer, but moving nicely. Lucky was nowhere to be found. I felt like I was in one of those Disney wilderness movies. !under crashing, rain pouring down, “LUCKY! LUUUUU-KKKKKKYYYYYY!” !en she comes prancing out of the creek, drenched, walking side by side with Ruby, one of the golden’s who lived next door. Ruby had Rasta curls and with the rain, she was a mess. Lucky was not looking too good either. Ruby was the troublemaker of the pack. Lucky just went along for the ride. Or so I’d like to believe. So what did Lucky eat? !e frame of my sister’s glasses, pieces of my friend Chris’ hair dryer, remote controls. Books, in particular the one with all the common sense cures for dog and cat maladies, my "rst set of Te"llin (leather straps are a delicacy I guess), the legs of the rocking chair, until I coated the ends with hot sauce, a trick I learned from Beth, who’s dad was the McDonald’s King of the Tri-state area (West Virginia, Kentucky and Ohio) - an aside, forget the crate of cookies and pies

or slabs of American cheese, the greatest thing I got from her was a box of McDonald’s garbage bags. !ey came with me to Florida and Riverdale and lasted until movers stole them when we moved Rachel into our "rst Riverdale home. Walks with lucky. In Orlando, we’d go to the Wekiwa Spring State Park near Apopka where I lived. !ere were bears there so I had to keep her on a leash - retractable to 20 feet. I’d open the door to the car and it was o$ to the races. We’d just run as fast and as long as we could down the trail, over creeks, through the woods and all that. !en we’d walk back, the ride home was the only time in her "rst 6 or 7 years that she was actually exhausted. She passed out. Lucky was a puppy for a loooong time. In Riverdale, it was more of the same. I think people knew me as the guy whose dog took him for runs. I remember watching Syracuse’s John Wallace, my sister’s alma mater, hit some clutch shots in the NCAA tournament one year in Kentucky. I jumped up o$ the couch and screamed. Lucky joined me, so excited because I was excited, barking and jumping. In Florida I got the new Chemical Brothers album and we ran in circles, around the co$ee table, on the couch, o$ the couch dancing and singing (barking) to Block Rocking Beats. At the Henry Hudson Park Upper, they had water fountains under the big statue of Henry. Lucky would always jump up, brace herself and wait for me to turn the water on. I don’t know if she was the "rst, but soon, other dogs would do it too. I always forgot to bring a camera and I knew I would be missing that photo. I always took the picture in my mind. Now we’re coming to the end. She’s a shell of her youthful self. !e justi"cations, the rationalizations. She did so much for me. A source of joy... as I told Rachel tonight, a psychic sponge. “Please pet me, get your sadness out on me, that’s why I’m here.” Like the sacri"cial lamb sent out to the wilderness with everyone’s sins every year. In temple this weekend, she is who I thought of when thinking about the book of life. I knew this was the last year. I just didn’t know she wouldn’t even make it to Yom Kipper. How do we tell Sydney? Will Adam miss her; will he understand? How will Claude react? I can see him meowing around the house looking for her. My sister is still away. I gave my parents the heads up. !ere were a few times this year when I thought I was bringing her to my parents for the last goodbye. Now we are here and I’m terribly upset. For some reason I didn’t think I would be this emotional but it’s hitting me like a ton of bricks. Fourteen years - from post college to marriage and fatherhood. !at’s an amazing set of chapters in my life. She saw me through a lot. I will miss her dearly, her life force in the house
