In which Annas is Haunted Nightly by Bureaucracy
Annas and Caiaphas are in bed, Annas is sleeping, Caiaphas is reading. Annas bolts awake.
ANNAS: Envelopes!
CAIAPHAS: What?
ANNAS: Where are the envelopes?
CAIAPHAS: Downstairs somewhere...?
ANNAS (urgently) : The ones we need for the forms. We need envelopes for the FORMS!
CAIAPHAS: Which forms?
ANNAS (getting panicky): THE forms! Honestly, Caiaphas, I don't know why you're not taking this more seriously.
CAIAPHAS: Annas, you're talking nonsense.
ANNAS: Talking nonsense?
CAIAPHAS: Annas, look around. Does it look like we've been working? You can't even tell me which forms you need.
ANNAS (sadly): Nonsense?
CAIAPHAS (gently): It seems like you were having a nightmare. (Pats arm) There's nothing to be worked up about unless there's something you're not telling me.
ANNAS: No, I think you're right. I must have been dreaming. *exhales* How silly of me.
CAIAPHAS: You're just dedicated. It is pretty funny, though. Like, it wasn't a governmental meltdown or you being naked in public or something, just...forms.
ANNAS (flatly): Hilarious.
CAIAPHAS: I keep telling you that you need a vacation.
ANNAS: Yeah, yeah...*burrows back under the covers* Caiaphas?
CAIAPHAS: Annas?
ANNAS(murmuring sleepily): The backpacks are the right ones, though, aren't they?
CAIAPHAS: Goodnight, Annas.
