    DETROIT by Lisa D’Amour


     
    SHARON: Kenny you are not going to believe this. I am fucking
    losing it - do you see me? I am losing it! It was the pink jogging
    suit lady. At our door! Only she wasn't wearing a pink jogging
    suit, she was wearing shorts and a blue T-shirt. And
    she came over to ask us politely - sort of - politely if we could
    keep our dog from shitting on her lawn. WE DON'T HAVE A DOG.
    Exactly. And so I said to her, politely, I said, ''We don't have a
    dog" and she said, "Yes you do have a dog and it is quite fond of
    taking craps on my lawn." "Quite fond." Like slicing a razor blade
    across my face - "quite fond." And I said, "Lady, do you want to
    come in my house? We've got NOTHING in our house, especially
    a DOG. Especially we do not have a DOG." And she said, "Listen,
    missy." FUCKING MISSY! "Listen, missy. I've lived in this
    neighborhood for six years, and I jog every morning. This dog
    appeared out of nowhere and started crapping on my lawn.
    I'm not asking you to get rid of it, I'm just asking you to clean up
    his crap." And I practically started crying - look at me I'm crying
    now-and I said, "Ma'am, people have accused me of many things
    before, but they have never accused me of having a dog. You
    need to investigate further, you need to knock on other doors-"
    And she said - her voice changed and she said, "Look, if it craps
    on my lawn one more time, I am calling the police" and I said,
    "Are you kidding? The police are going to fucking LAUGH IN
    YOUR FACE if you call them about some dogshit." And she said,
    "AHA! So you DO have a DOG!" And I said, "No, no, no, no, no
    fucking NO there is no dog here, lady!" And she just shook her
    head and kind of kicked our plant and said, "Ha, I thought it was
    fake." And turned around. I mean FUCK, Kenny, FUCK. This is like
    FUCKED UP.
