The Odd Couple: Male Version: Teacup Scene – Duologue – 13+ Yrs

FELIX: Oww! . . . I hurt my arm (Sinks down on couch, massaging his arm.) OSCAR: (Throws up hands) You’re hopeless. You’re a hopeless mental case! (Paces about the table) FELIX: (Grimacing with pain) I’m not supposed to throw with that arm. What a stupid thing to do. OSCAR: Why don’t you live in a closet? I’ll leave your meals outside the door and slide in the papers. Is that safe enough? FELIX: (Rubbing arm.) I used to have bursitis in this arm, I had to give up golf. . . . Do you have a heating pad? OSCAR: How can you hurt your arm throwing a cup? If it had coffee in it, that’s one thing. But an empty cup . . . (Sits in wing chair) FELIX: All right, cut it out, Oscar. That’s the way I am. I get hurt easily. I can’t help it. OSCAR: You’re not going to cry, are you? I think all those tears dripping on your arm is what gave you bursitis. FELIX: (Holding arm) I once got it just from combing my hair.
