或许可以放这儿？(“坐下来”，好像有一条长凳似的)不。
(站起来，走到舞台另外一端。
托尼上场，但迈克没有注意)也许这儿？(又“坐下来”)嗯，我想也许可以放这儿。
托尼：你在干什么呢？迈克：我自然是坐在一条隐形长凳上了。
托尼：我可以坐你旁边吗？迈克：当然可以。
(挪至一边，仿佛是在给托尼腾地方)托尼：啊，这里相当惬意啊，对吧？迈克：的确是。
两人坐了一会儿，看着他们的课本。
凯茜上场。
凯茜：你们在这儿做什么呢？迈克：我们正坐在一条隐形长凳上呢。
托尼：你不妨也来吧。
这里真的很舒服。
凯茜：好的，谢谢你的邀请。
(迈克和托尼挪到一边，凯茜坐下来)哇，真的好舒服啊！波拉上场。
波拉：你们正坐在一条隐形长凳上，是吧？凯茜：是啊，你怎么知道的？波拉：我也曾做过同样的事，就在昨天。
介意我坐下来吗？迈克看上去有点气恼的样子。
托尼和凯茜：不介意不介意。
请坐！大家都为波拉腾出地方。
迈克却站起来，溜达到了舞台中央，然后“坐”下来。
安上场。
看着迈克。
安：你看上去像是坐在一条隐形长凳上。
迈克：是啊，没错。
安：那他们在那边又是干什么呢？波拉和凯茜：我们也是坐在一条隐形长凳上呀！迈克：不，你们不是！托尼：我们怎么不是？迈克：对，你们不是。
我想必是忘记告诉你们了。
