She is startled {as are we) when she backs into a man hidden in shadows, seated atop a barrel. The man is Popeye, and he does not budge an inch. OLIVE (Screams) You scared the its out of me! Popeye doffs his cap in a silent greeting. What right do you have to Lurk here in the dark in the middle of the night and scare the its out of a person? POPEYE He looks at her for the first time. Hou's the party? OLIVE That's a dumb question. Where do you think I'm headed right this minute? POPEYE Out a' town. OLIVE I am not headed out of town.' Don't you see which direction I'm facing? POPEYE Yas, I yam putty dumb becuz I tho't ya wuz goin' inna direkershin ya wuz goin' instead o' th' direkershin ya wuz facin. Ya need help wit' yer bags? OLIVE No. She puts down a bag, Popeye hops off the barrel and picks it up. OLIVE Thank you. She stares at him, not knowing what comes next. POPEYE Which way? She just stares at him. Popeye starts off, leading away from her house. OLIVE No, that's the wrong way. Popeye starts back toward her house. OLIVE No, that's the wrong way. Popeye puts her bag down and waits. (Points) I want to go--(She thinks, then points) that way. She stops, thinks, points in another direction, SINGS. OLIVE I want to go that way; no, I want to go that way; no, I want to go that way; no... She points in all. possible directions, including up, as she SINGS a song about indecision and doubt in every area of her life as symbolized by her inability to choose a direction.
