CREATURE 1:
Oh my God my fucking back is hurting.

CREATURE 2:
Oh my fucking God mine too.

(Silence)

CREATURE 2:
And my neck too.

CREATURE 1:
My neck is hurting too.

CREATURE 2:
Is your pain more like, short bursts of sharp pain. Like a knife, or like a needle. But not as sharp as the proboscis of a mosquito, because that wouldn’t really hurt because you cannot feel that. Or more of an annoying soft pounding. Or more like an itch.

CREATURE 1:
More like a heavy pain, but full, but constant. Enough to complain about it but not enough to actually see a doctor. Because I’m so busy with my job. The same job that you have. The job of an archeologist.

CREATURE 2:
That is the job I also have. And that is the job we are doing now.

CREATURE 1:
Do you love your job?

CREATURE 2:
I love my job. I love digging in dirt and finding human residue that I don’t really understand. But I sure love coming home to my wife more! I love when she cooked for me and I love when it’s meat.
