ACT II

 

Scene 1 - A park bench, early afternoon the next day.  Marlow has put on a false moustache so he and Moby won’t be confused for each other.  Marlow sits, looking grim, while Moby stands, eating fish and chips out of a folded newspaper. Wadding up the paper he tosses it into a trash basket.  It’s his 22nd fish and chips meal, and he’s still hungry.

MARLOW

I warned you this would be a problem.

MOBY

You said nothing about not eating policemen.  If I'd known

there were all sorts of rules, I'd have made arrangements

before coming.

 

Moby reminds Marlow he’s there to help him with his love life.

 

MARLOW

I know, Moby.  I know.  And I appreciate it.  You're a

whale, but a white one.

 

Suddenly Marlow realizes that in a few minutes he has an appointment to have his courage tested. He grabs Moby by a fin and they race off to find a rickshaw.
