[Setting: Main tank at Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium.]
Treefish and Carpetfish rise slowly to the surface in the exact center of the tank. Other fish circle the perimeter, where the audience looks in through thick glass windows.
Treefish: Knuckles.
Carpetfish: Chuckles.
Treefish: Snowflake.
Carpetfish: Crow’s feet.
The many circling fish suddenly begin to swim in the opposite direction.
Treefish: Sprocket.
Carpetfish: Damn.
Treefish: Really? I thought that one was easy. You go first.
Carpetfish: Needle.
Treefish: I know you made that one up!
One salmon swims up from the bottom of the circling mass.
Salmon: You’re made up.
[Lights.]
