Scene - a library at 4:30 John - Aware that his is in a skit - aproach
	es Martha - an arts Student staring intently at a book, chewing
	on a very short pencil and looking decheveled. Martha is not
	Aware they are in a skit.

John: 	Welcome!

Martha: Welcome to what?

J: 	Well its the start of the skit, so I thought I welcome you! Do you
	realise you got the second line?

M: 	Umm, what the hell are you talking about? what do you mean skit? I
	don't know about you but I'm here to work... so if you dont mind?

Martha raises her eyebrows a motions for John to leave, but he seems obliv-
ious to her intention to get any work done and pulls up a chair next to Ma-
rtha

J:	What are you Working on?

M:	Why do you want to know?

J:	Well its probarbly important!

M:	Important to what?

J:	The punch line I assume...

Martha looks quizical

M: 	Punchline? whatever, If you must know Im working on a skit.

J:	ahhh im starting to see, how DO they think they can get away with
	this?

*break*

martha stalls but starts to look more interested

J:	(to himself) Its just going to go downhill from here... can I guess what you sk-
	it is about?

M:	mmhmm?

J:	Is it: two people meet in a library and one of them is constatly br-
	eaking the 4th wall (Aside) thats me (/aside) and another who is
	ironicaly writing the same skit that they are in?

M:	how did you know that?

J:	(ignoring the question) Its not very funny.

M:	hey!

J:	Its not your fault, I mean your only a charachter... its not
	like you wrote the thing...

M:	Didn't I?

J: 	*reading the script*
	"john: Welcome!
	martha: welcome to what, yadda yadda"
	AHA!, how did you not realise that we were having the same conversation that you just
	wrote?
