Hil and Bar
A door squeaks open and Barack Obama enters the room. Hillary Clinton turns.
OBAMA: Why, hello.
CLINTON: Oh, hey, hi.
OBAMA: So. It's just us. it's been a while since we've been alone.
CLINTON: Yeah. Well except...
OBAMA: Oh, Rusty? He's just Secret Service. Don't mind him; he doesn't care about anything. He even lets me smoke cigarettes behind Michelle's back!
CLINTON: Ha ha! So.
OBAMA: Hi Hil.
CLINTON: Hey Mr. President.
OBAMA: Please, call me Bar. You make me feel like my dad.
CLINTON: Oh, I can't.
OBAMA: Missed you.
CLINTON: Me too.
OBAMA: You happy with your post?
CLINTON: Yes, thanks again Mr. President.
OBAMA: Please... Bar.
CLINTON: Okay. Bar.
OBAMA: So, I've been thinking about some serious things. Like, who to best put in my cabinet, working out some details...
CLINTON: Uh huh.
OBAMA: Figuring out who'll take over cooking detail in the White House, how to tell you I'm in love with you, what to do about the Big 3...
CLINTON: Wait, what? Go back.
OBAMA: Oh, to the cooking thing? The White House chef will stay but she needs a new asst.
CLINTON: No, to the other thing. After that.
OBAMA: The Big 3?
CLINTON: Before that.
OBAMA: Gosh I... don't remember.
CLINTON: It was... about me.
OBAMA: Hm. Beats me. Oh heck, look at the time. (checks watch) Looks like I gotta go to a meeting. Or something.
CLINTON: Or something.
OBAMA: Bye, Hil.
He and Rusty leave.
Hillary closes eyes, slides down the wall. Starts to sing.
(To the tune of I Don't Know How to Love Him" from Jesus Christ Superstar)
I don't know how to love him.
What to do, how to prove to him.
I've been changed, yes really changed.
In these past few days, when I think about fate,
I'm more than just the Secretary of State.
I don't know how to take this.
I don't see why he moves me.
He's man. He's just a man.
And I've been with a President before,
In very many ways,
He's just one more.
Should I bring him down?
Or is this a sham?
Should I speak of love,
Call him at 3AM?
I never thought I'd come to this.
What's it all about?
Don't you think it's rather funny,
I should be in this position.
I'm the one who's always been
So calm, so cool, no political fool,
But now I've looked within.
I'd swear him in.
