"Can He Breathe First?" Or "The Saltless Margarita,”
a short #tbt play set on a Monday, when all the F's to give were fresh out, because it was 2 for 1 until 9pm.
Scene: No. 9, a bar in the Logan Circle neighborhood of Washington, D.C. A customer is going up to the bar for his second round of drinks.
Bartender: You had a margarita, right? I'll start making that for you. Did you want salt?
Customer: (Begins having a coughing fit.)
Bartender: (Turning back to the customer after making his drink.) I'm sorry...did you say you wanted salt, or...
Customer: (Still coughing)
Bartender: I guess that's a no then.
(Lights dim as the bartender leaves the customer's drink at the bar, and walks away.)
