TRANSCRIPT

MADONNA SPECTACLE
One day, as I’m performing my new set, “Beautiful Stranger”, I lose my balance and fall into the
auditorium. I make it a joke, but the guy whose glasses I broke doesn’t think it’s funny. Mindy is
worried.

MINDY
You should go see a doctor.

MADONNA SPECTACLE
My doctor doesn’t know what it is. I don’t like mysteries. He sends me to a neurologist. She knocks
on my knee with a hammer, orders a spinal tap and gives me an MRI.

NEUROLOGIST
While we wait for the results to come back, why don’t you tell me about this stage persona of
yours?

MADONNA SPECTACLE, TO THE NEUROLOGIST
Madonna Spectacle. She doesn’t listen to anyone. It’s like I don’t even control her. She’s got her
own mind.

NEUROLOGIST
Hm. She certainly does. The results are back. Please sit.

MADONNA SPECTACLE
I stand. She tells me what it is. I am Madonna Spectacle. She is me. Yet, I’m starting to hate her. I
want my life back.
