Blue Rock
(Maggie Pie sits on top of a concrete wall overlooking the slums. Â Hector comes in and sits beside her. Â The sun is going down.)
Maggie Pie:Â Why you always in my space, Hector? Â (beat) Can’t you go somewhere else?
Hector: I’m alright.
Maggie Pie: You didn’t bring your radio by any chance, did ya?
Hector: No..but, I got this?
(Hector shows Maggie Pie a blue rock)
Maggie Pie: What is that?
Hector: It’s a magic rock.
(He hands it to Maggie Pie)
You make a wish and whatever you wish for, comes true.
Maggie Pie: (sarcastic) I wish.
Hector: Yeah. Â Make a wish. Â But you have to do it like this…
(Hector takes the blue rock and cups it between his palms. Â He closes his eyes and whispers. Â He hands it back to Maggie Pie.)
Now you?
Maggie Pie: What did—did you just wish something just then?
Hector: Uh-huh.
Maggie Pie: What did you wish?
Hector: You can’t say the wish too loud cause then it won’t come true.
Maggie Pie: Alright. Â How many wishes I get?
Hector: Infinity.
Maggie Pie: Really? This really must be a special rock.
Hector: Blue. Â It’s a special blue rock.
Maggie Pie: Right. Â Special blue rock.
(Maggie cups the rock between her palms, closees her eyes and whispers her wish.)
(She wipes a tear from the corner of her eye and hands the blue rock back to Hector.)
Hector: Your wish will come true, Maggie Pie. Â It will come true.
Maggie Pie: (she smiles) As visible as you always are, you’re sweet.
Hector: I’m not candy.
Maggie Pie: Yes, you are, sweet like candy.
(Maggie Pie tickles Hector who laughs)
We should get going before it gets too dark and we need to be careful for that lose dog. Â You hear about that?
Hector: Uh-huh. Â It bit someone.
Maggie Pie: That’s right. We better head on in before it bites us.
Hector: Okay. Â I will wish the dog won’t bite you.
Maggie Pie: But you’re not supposed to say your wish out-loud, remember?
Hector: It’s okay, don’t worry. Â Just you and me know….for protection. Â The blue rock will protect us.
Maggie Pie: Thank you, Hector.
Hector: You’re welcome.
Maggie Pie: Let’s head—
Willis: There you are you stupid sh’t, been looking all over for you! Â Dad’s gonna have your ass!
(Willis grabs Hector by the shirt and stands him up)
Maggie Pie: Hey! Â Let him go! Â You can just tell him, you don’t need to grab ’em.
Willis: Be quiet Maggie Pie, this don’t concern you none.
Maggie Pie: You’re on my property so it does concern me and I said don’t put your hands on him.
(pause.)
(Willis stares at Maggie Pie defiantly but let’s Hector go.)
(Hector runs off)
Willis: (to Hector) Make sure you head straight to the house. Â That damn dog is running wild! Â (beat) (to Maggie Pie) Â What are you doing?
Maggie Pie: Not important. Â Stop bullying your little brother, doesn’t he have enough troubles.
Willis: He does but if I don’t shape him up my father will and that’s worse.
Maggie Pie: Why ya’ll so damn physical? Â We hear shouting coming from your trailer some nights.
Willis: Just the way it is. Â (beat) Best be going.
Maggie Pie: I didn’t mean to yell at ya, Willis. Â Just don’t like it when…oh…forget it.
Willis: You call that yelling?
(Willis chuckles)
That was a soft serenade to what I know. Â How come you haven’t been in school?
Maggie Pie: Haven’t been well.
Willis: What’s wrong with ya?
Maggie Pie: Nothing anybody needs to worry on.
Willis: Okay, I’ll leave you to it.
Maggie Pie: Right.
(Willis stares at Maggie Pie. He kisses her abruptly.)
Willis: Sorry. Â I gotta get back. I didn’t—
Maggie Pie: Go.
(they exchange awkward looks before Willis jogs off)
…blue rock.
