BUTCH Hey! What’s going on? Why are they leaving?
THE BIRD Teddy and my mother think that if they
Leave before the play ends, they can somehow
Keep living in the world of the theater.
BUTCH Oh! Does that mean we have to stay here too?
RUNE That makes as much sense as anything else
That’s happened since we suddenly showed up.
And I dunno ’bout you, but I sorta
Kinda wanna get back to our own world.
The sixteenth century — it’s been a nice
Place to visit, but I don’t want to stay.
I mean, they don’t even have TV here.
THE BIRD And that’s a bad thing?
RUNE Uh — yeah. I mean, how
Else are you gonna keep from getting bored?
