"SO THE LEADER OF THE GROUP THEATER TELEPHONED YOU"
"YES... HE DID. WELL, THE FIRS THING HE SAID IS THAT I WAS AN AWESOME THEATER PLAY WRITER, THAT THE PLAY WAS OUTSTANDING, FUTURISTIC AND EVEN AVANT-GARDISTE. AND I TOLD HIM "REALLY? YOU THINK? WELL, GOOD YOU LIKED IT"
"YOU KNOW IT'S A GOOD PLAY, CUB!"
"I WAS PLAYING HUMBLE!!! ANYWAY. SO HE ASKED ME WHY I DID NOT WANT TO MAKE IT"
"AND?"
"I TOLD HIM "YOU KNOW, THE DIRECTOR IS SO BOSSY AND..." AND HE TOLD ME "WHICH DIRECTOR???" SO IT TOOK US A FEW MINUTES TO REALIZE I WAS TALKING ABOUT WHAT WAS REALLY HAPPENNING WITH THE THEATER GROUP IN CHILE AND HE WAS TALKING ABOUT WHAT HE SUPPOSSED WAS HAPPENNING, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?"
"HUM. YES, YOU SAID IT WAS STRANGE HOW THE CHILEAN GROUP WAS WORKING AS YOU KNEW HOW THE GUY IN FRANCE WORKS"
"YES, BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS LIKE THAT, CAUSE EVERYTIME I MADE SUGGESTIONS I WAS TOLD "WE HAVE OUR WORK SYSTEM, DON'T MEDDLE IN". YOU KNOW IT WAS LIKE ALL OF THEM WERE TALKING LIKE I WAS NOT PART OF THE GROUP. THE GUY IN FRANCE WAS NOT HAPPY TO KNOW THAT"
"AND?"
"HE SAID "TELL ME ALL WHAT'S HAPPENNING OVER THERE" SO I DID. I TOLD HIM THAT THE GIRL I SUPPOSSED WAS THE DIRECTOR WAS BOSSY, DIDN'T LISTEN TO SUGGESTIONS, MADE THREE TO FOUR HOURS REHEARSALS WITHOUT BREAKS, AND I TOLD HIM SHE WAS VERY RUDE AND AGRESSIVE TO TELL ME NOT TO INTEFERE WITH HER WORK, AND HE SAID "NO WAY???". THEN I TOLD HIM THAT ALL DECISIONS WERE SUPPOSSED TO BE TAKEN BY HIM, AND HE SAID "WHO TOLD YOU THAT???", WELL, EVERYONE, SO HE TOLD ME "DECISIONS ARE MADE BY ALL THE GROUP. NOBODY LEADS, IT'S A DEMOCRACY". I PREFFERED NOT TO TELL HIM THE OTHER DAY THE GIRL THAT I SUPPOSSED WAS THE DIRECTOR CLEARLY SAID "THERE'S NO DEMOCRACY HERE!!!!!!!"
"SO HE WAS... SURPRISED"
"EACH TRUTH I TOLD HIM MADE HIM DOWN, AND MORE DOWN. I TOLD HIM THAT I HAD A LOT OF IDEAS TO MAKE THE GROUP WORK BETTER BUT NOBODY LISTENED TO ME. AND THAT NOBODY HAD READ THE PLAY, SO I TOLD THE GIRL I SUPPOSSED WAS THE DIRECTOR TO GIVE THE PLAY TO THE OTHERS AND SHE DIDN'T AND ANYTIME I ASKED IF SOMEONE HAD READ THE PLAY THEY WERE LIKE "DON'T BOTHER, PLEASE" AND THIS GUY FROM FRANCE TOLD ME "YOU'RE BULLSHITTING ME???"... I SAID "I WISH" AND ADDED "LOOK, THESE GUYS LOOK AT YOU AS A GOD AND THINK YOU'RE GONNA THROW THEM A THUNDERBOLT IN THE HEAD" AND HE SAID "SO IT SEEM IT'S GONNA HAPPEN". IN THE END HE TOLD ME HE WOULD TALK SERIOUSLY WITH EACH AND ALL OF THE MEMBERS OF THE GROUP IN CHILE. HE WASN'T HAPPY, I TOLD YOU THAT"
"SO THE PLAY CAN BE MADE"
"YES. BUT THIS WAS A HUGE STEP. AND WE SAID... ONE STEP AT A TIME"
"YEAH, IT'S BETTER THAT WAY"
