Excerpt:
(Goober ENTERS and paces around. He’s concentrating very hard.)
Goober: Think, think, think. Think, think, think.
(Slobber ENTERS. He watches Goober, puzzled at first, then begins to follow him with growing curiosity.)
Slobber: What are you doing?
Goober: (pauses to answer) I’m thinking.
(Goober resumes pacing and talking to himself. Slobber continues to follow and watch.)
Goober: Think, think, think. Think, think, think.
Slobber: What kind of thinking?
Goober: Good thoughts thinking. That’s what kind of thinking. (He paces again.) Think, think, think. Think, think, think. (Pauses with a discovery) Thinking leads to answers. Answers lead to knowledge. And knowledge leads to…to…
Slobber: To what?
Goober: (Shrugs) The thought hasn’t entered my mind.
