SEVEN: Hey! Quiet! Someone is coming!
TWO: What? We’re always quiet! Oh… Yeah, someone just turned on the lights!
SIX: Hey! Someone just turned on the lights!
TWO: I just said that! Will you stop looking out that window! I know you miss the building that used to be there, but it’s gone now, and it’s gonna take a least a year before something else is put up in it’s place.
SIX: Well, I still miss it. But I just noticed some sort of screen-printing business over in that other building. I keep seeing–
SEVEN: Whoa! I’m moving, I’m moving… He’s moving me, he’s moving me…
TWO: Probably just wants to get a better look at you in the light.
SEVEN: But he just turned on the lights.
TWO: Well, he just moved you closer to the window, so I guess he wanted to see what you looked like in the sunlight.
SIX: Or maybe he wants you to see that screen-printing business in the other building too.
SEVEN: Yeah, right. Hey! He looks really familiar.
SIX: You know, he looks familiar to me too.
TWO: Me too!
SIX: You’re just saying that.
TWO: No, I’m not.
SIX: Yes, you are.
TWO: No, I’m not.
SEVEN and SIX: YES, YOU ARE!
TWO: No, I’m– Why is he taking out a camera?
SEVEN: I think he’s taking a picture of all three of us.
TWO: Hey, I have seen this guy before! Remember, Seven? I was just telling you about him! This is the guy that was taking pictures of his lunch two weeks ago.
SIX: What?!?!? That’s crazy. Why would anyone want to do that?
TWO: I dunno. But I swear I saw him taking pictures of his lunch. And he kept setting the self-timer on his camera to take pictures of himself too.
SEVEN: I swear, they’re all narcissists!
SIX: Well, it looks like you’re right. He is taking a picture of the three of us.
SEVEN: So that’s why he moved me?!? For a picture? And I was just tuned!
SIX: So was I.
TWO: We all were!
SEVEN: As if a tuning is gonna hide that big scratch on your fallboard, anyway.
TWO: It’s not that big.
SEVEN: Yes, it is.
TWO: No — Well – So… Well, at least my bass notes don’t keep ringing!
SEVEN: Hey! Some people like the extra sound!
TWO: No they don’t.
SEVEN: Yes, they do!
TWO and SIX: No, they don’t.
SEVEN: Well, at least my damper pedal doesn’t squeak!
SIX: Hey! It only does that in the summer when the humidity is high! It’s not like I can control the change of seasons. We all have our faults. Just be thankful we all got tuned today. It’s been a while.
SEVEN: Guess you’re right, it had been a while. Of course, then he left us in front of the drafty windows and the radiators.
SIX: Well, nobody’s perfect, but at least we’re well tempered. Get it? Well tempered?
TWO: Trust me. We got it.
SEVEN: And we got it the last time you made that joke. And the time before that, and the time before that.
SIX: What do you mean "and the time before that"? I haven’t made that joke that often.
TWO: Yes, you have. I never forget a bad joke.
SIX: Shut up.
SEVEN: Now, now, now – No need to put a damper on the situation.
TWO: Oy! – And I’m the one accused of making bad jokes?
SIX: Oy?!?! Where did you pick that up from?
TWO: With the number of bagels that get placed on me each week?
SEVEN: Oooh, I hate that too. Especially when the sesame seeds and poppy seeds fall between my keys! You think they would be more considerate, more caring.
SIX: And the cream cheese fingers!
ALL THREE: And the coffee! Ah, well. (sigh)
