Stephen Sondheim
Double Duet

[SOLDIER, spoken]
So, Fritz
Our first night together

[FRITZ, spoken]
Maybe our last
The last for everybody...

[We hear a distant explosion.]

[SOLDIER & FRITZ]
It's the end of the world!

[SOLDIER]
Yes, I know—

[FRITZ]
No, the actual end of the world!

[Another distant explosion.]

[SOLDIER]
Sounds like fireworks—

[FRITZ, spoken]
What am I doing here?
[SOLDIER]
Why are there fireworks?

[FRITZ, spoken]
It's Judgment Day
Chaos
Barricades

[Another distant explosion.]

[SOLDIER, spoken]
Let's go up on the terrace and watch

[FRITZ]
I sort of like it right here

[SOLDIER]
You do?

[FRITZ]
Don't you?
I sort of like where we are

[SOLDIER]
Me, too
[FRITZ]
You do?

[SOLDIER]
I like wherever you are
I want to be wherever you are
I want to like whatever you like—
Know what you know—
See what you see
I want to get inside of you

[FRITZ, spoken]
So let's go in the closet and fuck!

[SOLDIER, spoken]
Yes!
We can make love and then kill ourselves

[FRITZ, spoken]
Why don't we see how the sex goes first?

[SOLDIER, spoken]
You are infinite!

[SOLDIER]
Is this just one of my dreams—?
Only a dream—?
I'm something of a dreamer
[FRITZ, spoken]
Yes, I've noticed

[SOLDIER]
But this is too surreal to be a dream
