KENT: A local citizen of Metropolis.
http://www.freedrama.net/metropolis.html 1/14
SIMON: A local store owner.
METROPOLIS MAN SCENE 1
Lo is standing by a Superman statue and/or Superman mural looking around at
the surrounding town. Actors and even dogs in Superman costumes can walk
through the scene to start the show if extras are available. She has a camera
and takes random pictures from weird angles. Kent is about the only person
not wearing something related to Superman and has been watching Lo. When
she sits at a bench near the statue, she appears sad and stressed. Kent moves
in.
Kent: Can I help you? You look a bit lost.
Lo: Is this Metropolis?
Kent: The one and only.
Lois: I imagined something much bigger.
Kent: Everyone does.
Lois: Looks more like Smallville.
Kent: Superman fan?
Lo: Not really.
Kent: That is a first. I bet you are the first person to visit this town who isn't a
fan.
Lo: No other reason to come here?
Kent: Nope.
Lo: So is Superman really from here?
Kent: So they say... Never met him.. Well maybe I have.. Met a lot of guys
dressed like him... But none of them raced bullets or trains. And nobody flew
here. We don't have an airport.
Lo: Huh? Oh... Joke. (Does a courtesy laugh but it's not convincing)
Kent: My name's Kent by the way.
Lo: Kent? As in Clark Kent?
Kent: If you are a male and born in this town, there is a good chance you're
named Clark or Kent.
Lo: Oh dear... That has to be weird in school.
Kent: Kal is gaining in popularity though.
Lo: Kal?
Kent: For KalEl... Superman's real name.
Lo: Is it required in this town to know all Superman facts or are you just a nerd?
Kent: You can't help know this stuff here.. It's everywhere... Menu items, street
names, constant puns in the newspaper...
Lo: Annoying?
Kent: Not really... It's kind of nice to have something that makes our town
unique. Something special to call our own... DC comics even made it official on
January 21, 1972. (he notices she isn't really listening and smiles) Boring you?
Lo: Kind of.
Kent: Can I ask your name?
Lo: People call me Lo.
Kent: Lo? Short for Lois?
Lo: Nope... That would too weird... although better than my real name... Lola.
Kent: It's a nice name.
Lo: If you say so.
Kent: So you're ok then? Need directions or anything?
Lo: This is where is I going.
Kent: But you're not a fan?
Lo: You bug all the tourists like this?
Kent: That's what we do in Metropolis... Bug tourists... Have to make sure that
you're not some villain in disguise out to get Superman... (Lo looks away
annoyed) Still not funny... I can take a hint... Have a good visit. (he slowly goes
hoping she will stop him)

Lo: Sorry... I didn't mean to be a pain.
(Kent returns happily)
Kent: You've been traveling... That makes people tired. I understand.
Lo: I feel like an idiot.
Kent: Why? A lot of people think Metropolis should be bigger... In fact our
founding fathers thought our town would be a city one day being situated on a
major river near the junction of four states...
Lo: Enough history okay?
Kent: Sorry... got it... Back to you... Where were we?
Lo: Idiot.
Kent: That's right. I'm listening.
Lo: Thanks.
Kent: Anytime... So why you feeling bad?
Lo: I came here because of a dream.
Kent: Really?
Lo: I had this dream about Metropolis... It was more like a city but this statue...
It's exactly the same.
Kent: You ever see pictures?
Lo: Never.
Kent: Wild... So why come see it?
Lo: Because of something that happened in my dream... Something that
happened at this statue that was pretty wonderful. Something I'd really like
more than anything.
Kent: What?
Lo: It will sound dumb.
Kent: Go ahead. You can tell me.
Lo: I fell in love.
Kent: Really? Under a Superman statue?
Lo: Under this statue.
Kent: You get a good look at the guy?
Lo: He had on a superman shirt.
Kent: Plenty of those around here.. I have one... Didn't wear it today though... I
can go put it on.

Lo: Slow down there, Flash... I don't think you're the guy.
Kent: Oh...
Lo: It can't be the first guy I run in to... That's too lucky... Sorry to hurt your
feelings but I don't feel it. The chemistry. The dream had a whole lot of
chemistry. And an explosion. (she gets lost in thought)
Kent: No worries. Maybe I can help. Tell me more about the dream. Maybe I know
the guy.
Lo: Not much more that I remember. Oh wait. He had on glasses too.
Kent: Glasses and Superman shirt. Anything else?
Lo: The other thing about the dream that was really odd was that I felt the urge to
cash in my life savings too... Something told me I'd need it for this trip.
Kent: Your entire life savings. Is there... in your purse?
Lo: Everything I have is right here.
(They are quiet a minute. Kent is looking at her and she looks away shyly.
Suddenly Kent grabs the purse and runs. Lo jumps up in shock)
Lo (cont.): Hey! Wait a minute! Wh... what?! No! This isn't right! I come to your
stupid town and the first thing that happens is that I'm mugged? First guy I meet
and he's a con man. Kent the con man. Ah! Why am I so stupid? Don't talk to
strangers. (Yells at statue) Isn't that what you teach this kids, Superman? Well, I
blew it. Blabbed to some random dude and he mugs me. Why did I follow a
dream? I am an idiot. A stupid, dumb bubblehead.

(she plops down on a bench)
I'm always a victim. There's not enough heroes in this world. Not enough
Supermans. Sure, there's bunches of you parading around in costumes, but
there's not many real men of steel. Not any willing to take a bullet for me.
(she jumps up again)
And you know what?! My life savings was 50 bucks! How's that for irony? And
my credit cards are maxed out! Ha! Jokes on you!
(plops down on bench again)
I just want my lucky key chain back.
(Simon, a guy in glasses and a zip up jacket, enters with her purse)
Simon: Is this your purse?
(Lo is so stunned she doesn't know what to say)
Simon: I didn't mean to go through your purse but I needed to find an ID or
something. I found your driver's license. It looks a bit like you... but you're...
you're prettier in person.
Lo: Thank you!
(she runs up and hugs him)
Simon: Tough day?
(she lets go of him and nods)
Lo: Very... how did you find it?
Simon: I tripped the guy who was running away with it.
Lo: You did?
Simon: Kind of an accident. I'm a bit of a klutz. But I wouldn't give it back once I
got it. I've known Kent for a long time and when you see him at a purse, you
know he's not headed to a superhero crossdressing competition.
(Lo laughs)
Simon (cont.): You have a nice laugh.
Lo: I hate my laugh. I snort.
Simon: It's cute.
Lo: So, you from around here?
Simon: Kind of. I work at the SuperMuseum. I wasn't born here but I lived here
for a while. I stumbled on this little town and fell in love with it. I kept coming
back until I didn't leave again.
Lo: Something just kind of drew you here.
Simon: Give me Metropolis over Chicago any day.
Lo: Chicago sucks.
Simon: And blows.
(They laugh)
Simon (cont.): Want me to show you around?
Lo: Sure. I'd like that.
(She takes his arm)
Simon: We'll do the walking tour. I left my cape at home.
Lo: You wouldn't happen to have on a Superman tshirt would you?
(He unzips his jacket and shows her)
Simon: I do. Why?
Lo: No reason.
(She has a big smile, takes his arm again and they exit happily ever after)

Featured Monologue from the Play “Death of an Insurance Salesman”
***
"GUARDIANS OF THE WALLET" by D. M. Larson
RALPH
An ambulance is coming for you now. And the policy will cover that ride so
you're in luck.
(Ralph waves goodbye and watches person go)
He's lucky. Most people wait until it's too late. Last minute is always better than
never. Sometimes I think I should set up my office in the lobby of the hospital
emergency room. I could probably sign up half the room as they are waiting...
what else are they going to do while they wait for help? Come on. What's the
number one thing on their minds? They worry about how they'll pay for the
hospital. That's where I come in. I kind of see myself as a hero... swooping in to
save the day... can't pay your medical bill? Let me do it for you. I know no one
sees an insurance salesman as a hero but we really are. You know how much
that heart attack would have cost him without me? You know how much a car
accident would cost without insurance? We're not the bad guys... we're your
knight in shining armor, protecting you from going bankrupt. We are the
guardians of the wallet. Don't let them suck you dry. Insurance will protect you...
save you... rescue you... and that's what I wanted to always do with my life. Be a
hero.
END OF MONOLOGUE

**** “The Cynical Professor” a monologue by D. M. Larson
Okay class. I know you hate classes that are required for your degree so I am
going to try and make this as painless as possible.
Because you're taking a lot of loans, using a lot of credit and building up some
serious debt to be here, I don't want this class to be any more difficult than it
needs to be. I mean you are going to be paying off these loans for the next 20 or
30 years. It's like you're taking out a mortgage and buying a house. And who can
afford a house mortgage anymore when you have all these loans, credit and
debts piling up just so you can get a degree in Egyptology or Greek mythology?
That brings me to lesson number one in your Freshman Orientation class. You
want to make all your loans worthwhile? You want to be able to pay off your
credit card debt when you graduate? Then become a lawyer.
Come on... What's with the moans and growns? Being an attorney can be great.
Are you a tree hugger and love the Earth? Be an environmental lawyer. Are you
into women's rights? There's a attorney for that. Want to help people who are
defaulting on their mortgage and losing their homes or being crushed by credit
card debt? There are lawyers for that too. Lawyers make a difference. Lawyers
change things. Call an attorney if you want to get things done.
Law not for you? You could play the stock market and do some day trading. Or
you could be a software designer. Maybe be an engineer and figure out new
ways to get us the limitless electricity that we demand or come up with alternate
fuels so we no longer need gas in our cars. You can still help the world without
picking a degree that will drown you in debt that you can never pay back.
If you want to study a dead language or some mythological beast, go hang out in
the library or watch the History Channel, but don't run up thousands of dollars in
loans to study something that won't pay the bills. A Egyptologist is not going to
change the world, but an attorney just might have the power to right some
wrong.
Gandhi was a lawyer. So was Abraham Lincoln. And Nelson Mandela. These are
great people that left their mark on history and transformed nations. I'm not
telling you to transfer out of your history classes. History has wonderful lessons
for us. I'm telling you not to major in it. Learn from history but then USE what
you learned. Go out there and change things. And who better to change things
than someone who understands how the system works than a lawyer.
Those of you that agree with me will go declare their majors prelaw,
engineering or economics. Those of you that don't, head on over to the library
and write me a 10,000 word report on why your major is so awesome and a plan
how you are going to pay off all that debt.
Class dismissed.
