SCRIPT 2: here is a conversation between student and teacher

Student: I'm looking for a segment of a script about ten minutes in length that can be acted out by 2 people, male and female. We need it for my high school debate class. My friend David and I are doing a Duo Interpretation. It needs to be preferably funny, where the two characters interact a lot, i.e. shaking hands, high fives, punching one another, that sort of thing. It also needs to be part of a published play.... sir if you can help me, it will be GREATLY appreciated!!!! Teacher: Go to the library and check a book out by the name of "The House of Usher" by Robert Poe. You will find tons of dialogue for a male and female. (You will have to create the dialog on paper...but I remember it not being hard) I used this in a film class once and everyone was surprised. The audience had never heard this particular dialogue and I did an interpretation with the material comically. The audience loved it. One of the props I used was a long wool hounds tooth jacket, a huge handheld spyglass and (I can't think of the name) an English hat that an investigator would have worn way back when (It flips up on the sides has a tie at the top - like Sherlock Holmes.)
