This play only consists of two characters- Rose, a quirky, crazy lonely women, and Cliff, a crude truck driver. They supposedly meet at the convenience store where Rose works when Cliff's truck breaks down. She brings him back to her sad little place where they have odd conversations. This is the only setting in the play- Rose's little room. It's obvious Cliff is trying to sleep with her but she's oblivious and just wants to talk. He makes jokes about everything and she doesn't share his sense of humor. He leaves and comes back some time later because he missed her. She missed him too. They reconcile and end up talking about driving cross country together.
The whole play is full of great two-person scenes because there are only two characters. We chose the first part of the first scene because it's interesting to see how they first interact. There is one monologue by Rose that really stuck out to me. It's about when she saw these boys murder birds at the zoo and was very upset about it. It's a very emotional piece.
