1st Act
In which Jackie believes a nice calm dinner from Angel's Family is to be expected
This part falls under the Drunken Dreaming Act of 1956. It is vague, emotionally intensive, incoherent, and exuberant. Our scene picks up from the staircase. It is time to prepare for the party. This party might be later that evening, morning, or the next day after Angel and Jackie sleep. They are going up and down the stairs with items in their grasp. Somehow, on Jackie's way up, he meets Angel coming down. They twist around each other in a sexual fashion and Angel passes him her empty cup, as it is known to both of them that Jackie was going up the stairs for a cup of water. He is wearing a dress because Angel's Mother is home, and he does not want an awkward naked encounter to occur. "Hello, my name is Alfred and I'm shtupping your daughter," is a phrase nobody really wants to say in the morning (or evening), especially if your name isn't even Alfred. The room upstairs is dark and divided into at least three parts. The parts are set up in a very similar fashion to a large, 30-ft-or-so wide, square letter S, with the stairs up near the left-hand base of the S. Jackie has rounded the corner of the base and entered the middle of the S, where it is mostly dark. He notices that his faculties are slightly impaired. His nerves are becoming racked, as he has to shit very strongly. He is facing the computer table and pours one glass out, but is overwhelmed by the need to shit before he can pour the other. This is bad because Angel's Mother (and maybe Father) are in the top room of the S. They cannot see him (he hopes), but he can hear them on the computer, watching videos and talking. Jackie puts a bucket under his dress and starts to shit as he pours the water into the next glass. However, his concentration is breaking by his nervousness that the Parents will discover he is shitting in their living room. Surely they will notice the smell. He finally finishes shitting but has worked himself into a state of shock. He is now naked and wondering where his pants went. Wiping his ass with a hand-towel, he grabs a larger towel and wraps it around his waist. Now it would be even worse if the Parents find him, as he is naked, aside from the towel, and that is just a no-good thing to be around a Daughter and her Parents. He is almost delirious and falls over the ground back towards the stairs, still in the middle of the S. One cup of water is in his hand and the shitty hand-towel is in his other hand. He remembers the bucket full of shit and panics (even more). Now on his hands and knees, he crawls back towards the computer desk, knocking over chairs in his confusion. Allow us to venture into his perception for a brief moment...
I'm short as fuck what the hell's wrong with me
am I on my knees or standing up?
this looks wrong, the tables are all above my head
or is it the chairs that are staring me down
oh my fuck this is bad
I can't move my head, my neck is frozen
it's stuck like this, in an upwards position
like some fucker drowning
I can't look down!
I've felt this way before... when I was a child
my entire body is paralyzed in such a fucked manner
what the hell is this
I'm trying to move to the left and right,
maybe I can rotate my neck...
fuck, or not.
it's pitch black I can't see shit
I can't tell if I'm standing or kneeling, my neck and eyes are paralyzed, I don't even know where I fucking am anymore (I could be by the computer chair but it looks like the whole fucking room changed), and I am looking for a bucket full of shit.
if someone finds me now I don't know what I'll do
Click.
The lights are turned on and lo and behold, Jackie finds himself in a different room. Somehow he crawled into a different room. He's in the middle basement. Angel's Father is there, looking at Jackie strangely. Jackie explains that he had a a a a panic psychosis attack. The words seizure and panic attack flow through his mind. He is thankful for Angel's Father to be there, despite the creeped-out expression on his Lover's Dad's face. The man leaves, giving Jackie the opportunity to regain his bearings. As he stands, he tilts his head from side to side to check his mental state. The entire room wobbles unsteadily. Apparently, he's not quite solid yet. He turns around and sees A Friendly Girl lying on the top of the couch he was on next to the wall.

She tells him she watched over him the whole time (giving him even more doubt as to what actually happened). She also tells him that she is sooo stoned. He wonders where Angel is, feeling almost guilty as if he has done something wrong. He gets up and walks towards the door, encountering more people.
