The Script

Characters

Zeek Adams: A known schizophrenic who doesn’t interact with anyone other then his own imaginary friends.

Anna: Zeek’s imaginary daughter who is accused of having an eating problem, and is frequently stalked by Gary.
Gary: one of Zeek’s imaginary creations, and a peeping tom to his imaginary daughter.


Zeek and Anna are arguing in the kitchen over dinner

Zeek: I get your whole, ‘I’m not okay with how I look’ thing, but I’m really tired of wasting my money to buy food when all you do is throw it up!Anna: (denying) You’re crazy. I don’t have an eating disorder! You’re just imagining things. All you do is criticize me on how I’m not good enough for you!

Zeek: (deeply ashamed and quiet) No…

Anna: (cutting him off) I don’t care about your lame excuses. (storms off)


Zeek notices Gary watching from the window. Gary waves to Zeek before letting himself into the house.

Gary: So…that fight with your daughter…bummer.

Zeek: (shaking his head, slightly freaked out) I’ll pretend you’re not creeping me out right now and ask why and how you know all of this.

Gary: (ignoring the question, and eying Anna’s bedroom door) Uh…so…I’ll go and talk to her for you! (runs off)


Anna is crying as Gary steps into her room.

Anna: (thinking it is her father) Go away, I hate you!

Gary: (staring) But…I love you.

Anna: (looks up, noticing it is not her father) What the. Why are you in my room!

Gary: (Sitting next to her and putting his hand on her shoulder) Um…Uh…would you like to vent to me, sweetheart? I understand you and your father got into a bit of an argument.Anna: (moves away from him) I don’t even know you, get out of here!

Gary: (moves closer too again) But you will know me. (smiles)

Anna: (getting up and screaming) Dad!


Zeek runs into the room which is empty, frowning, unhappy with his situation.

Zeek: (sitting in a lone chair) I wish I wasn’t crazy, sometimes. All these imaginary people are screwing with my mind.
