\nVarious locations in London. Katie has met her older boyfriend Abe, a twenty-four-year-old black man, at the school gates. It is a hot day, and Abe goes to buy an ice cream. As he eats it walking down the street, a boy on a bicycle comes past and knocks his ice cream out of his hand. Abe reacts instinctively and kicks the wheels of the bike, sending the boy flying. A fight then breaks out between the two with Katie looking on in surprise. She then somewhat randomly tells us about how she envies the way fat people can eat with abandon.<\/p>\n

(Male, Comedic, 14- 22)
\n<\/strong>Eddie begins the play with this monologue.\u00a0 He is an awkward high school junior, the \u201cugly chicken\u201d as he calls himself, cast aside for his ineptness; he is not a child anymore, but he is not quite a capable adult yet.\u00a0 To complicate things even more, Eddie is also in love with his best friend who does not reciprocate his feelings.\u00a0 In this monologue, Eddie validates his feelings of confusion and angst that are so readily pushed aside by the adults in his life.<\/p>\n
