SCENE 1 — EXCEED.

Actor: I have around 15 minutes to do this play, and I know it will exceed the time. There are things we don’t talk about on a first date. I wouldnever say on a first date that I’m from Aries, that I snore, or that I’ve slept without a bath because I haven’t left the house that day.
