This play is in fact an absurdist play ,
hence every deviation from the norm of language,
structural presentation (discourse space) and theatre is

(The stage is free of any prop)

Ist Baabu: I won't take that from you at all! You this...
this...

2nd Baabu: Shut up!

Ist Baabu: (moves closer to him in anger) What did you
just say?

2nd Baabu: What did you hear?

Ist Baabu: Are you asking me that damn quest....
2nd Baabu: I said shut up!

(Both keep quiet for awhile)

1st and 2nd Baabu (Breaks silence): But why do we fight
every time?! Let's answer that question.

2nd Baabu: You go first.

1st Baabu: No, you first.

2nd Baabu: Why must it be me every time who goes first? I'm the first to be abused, I'm the first to be drunk, I'm the first to take drug, I'm the first, I'm the first to be fooled by the government, I'm the first to be kidnapped, I'm the first to be....

2nd Baabu (stops to cry) FOOL!
