The Number Two

(A bus stop.) Transit User's Friend: Do you want to come for a beer? Transit User: I have to catch my bus. Transit User's Friend: You mean the Number Two? (Derisive laugh) We have time. Transit User: How long have you been waiting, sir? Transit User 2: About ten minutes. Transit User: (After haplessly checking the horizon) All right. (Exit.) (The bus stop an hour later. Transit User 2 is still waiting.) Transit User: You're still here? Transit User 2: Yep. Good thing they give us something to read. Did you know that there are over two hundred stops on a trans city bus route if you stay on the bus when it reaches its destination and let it take you all the way back to your point of origin? Transit User's Friend: Do you feel like a round of golf? Transit User: Anything's better than this. (Exit.) (The bus stop five and half hours later. Transit User 2 is still waiting.) Transit User: No luck yet? Transit User 2: Can't be much longer. Transit User's Friend: Do you want to sail across the ocean on a catamaran? Transit User: (Checking the horizon.) I guess we still have time. (The bus stop a year later. Transit User 2 has grown a beard and sits on the bench with a woman and child.) Transit User: Did it come yet? Transit User 2: Not yet. Transit User: That's too bad. Transit User 2: Oh, it hasn't been a total loss. I met my wife, Marie, here, when she started waiting for the Number Two shortly after you left on your voyage. This is my son, John Junior. Marie: Wait a minute, aren't you the driver? Transit User's Friend: Hey, you're right! (Checking watch) Looks like you reminded me just in time. I'll come back and pick you up if you all wait right here.
