A dusty porch. Costel is wearing a dirty tank top and a mismatched hat. Leana is holding a wooden spoon like a weapon.
Here is a prepared text—a comedic monologue/dialogue script—inspired by their specific style of "village mafia" humor.
(Whispering loudly) Leano! Be quiet, woman! Don't you see I'm on a secret mission? I’m the Don of the village now. I’ve joined the Mafia!
You don’t understand "omerta," Leano. Silence is golden! From now on, I don't pay for the bread at the bakery. I provide "protection."
What Mafia, you drunkard? The only thing you’ve joined is the line at the liquor store! Look at you, you look like a Mafia boss who got beat up by a scarecrow.
(Hits him with the spoon) Here’s your "offer," Costele! Go protect the potato patch from the Colorado beetles, or I’ll show you a "Soprano" move that’ll make you sing like a soprano for a week!
