DESTROY ALL CULTURE

[Morning at the Destroy All Culture house. Aidan is mumbling in his sleep, his forehead beaded with sweat, his eyeballs swivelling back and forth beneath closed lids. Adam enters.]

ADAM: Aidan, are you okay? What are you saying?

AIDAN: cuh… cuh… orrrre…

ADAM: What’s that? Caw-hor?

AIDAN: cuhhhh…. orrrre…

ADAM: Cuh-or?

AIDAN: Core… core…

ADAM: Core?

AIDAN: Core… core. Core! Core! Core!

ADAM: Core! Core! Core!
