Judith
Quite usual things, like reciting “If,” or playing the piano—
Richard
I can’t play the piano.
Simon
Never mind; you can fake it, as long as it conveys an idea of the word.
Jackie
The word we’ve all thought of?
Sorel
Impatient.
Yes, the word we’ve chosen when whoever it is is out of the room.
Jackie
I’m afraid I don’t quite understand yet.
Simon
Never mind; I’ll explain. You see, someone goes out. …
Sorel
I’ll go out the first time, just to show her.
Judith
It’s quite simple—all you have to do is just act in the manner of the word.
Sorel
Look here, everybody, I’m going out.
Simon
All right; go on.
