A noise/footsteps climbing a staircase can be heard
Cameraman : looking towards a stage exit enawa enawa enawa enawa!
Everybody starts to act with their signature movements of madness
A nurse walks in and gives a suspicious look

Sundhara takes a bell and starts shaking it
All the pissas stop their work and assemble for the morning pooja
Sundhara goes around the stage while ringing the bell
Another pissa hands over a thaali to socrates and he starts the pooja
Thara wraps a shawl on her head, all the others prepare themselves. They start singing a bhajan while
looking at the far end of the audience
Samata dhiriya pana
Sathata suwaya gena
Siyalu isuru gena
Wadhimi sukhana raja
Umathu apiwa rakina
Lokuma umathu ugatha
Kisith nodhutu muniya
Ape sukhana raja
Sundhara and socrates starts to chant
Oooooo my gooodd….oooooo this…this…all mad…oooo..sukahana raja…please please come
come….oooowe are waiting for you!...konja….surukka wangaa….
Socrates starts to bless everyone after the bhajan..
He gently beats the heads of each pissa with a small branch
Sukhana siha uthmange phitayi..
At the end of this everybody starts to go back to their normal routine..
The doctor arrives with a nurse two new pissas a man and a woman also comes with them. The doctor
clears his throat, looks around and does an ayubowan to all the pissas. The pissas in turn goes to the
doctor, hugs and drags him to centre stage.
Doctor: so here we are! At the mercy of another day! Hm? Thawath kalakanni dwasak eh?
Cameraman: ada pulasthi rishituma apita monawada genawe??? Looking at the new pissas hane!!! Me

Socrates comes with the pooja thaali, and starts to chant..he keeps a mottu and rings the bell.
Doctor: ehanan, socrates..meyalwa hondata balagannone hariya!
Socrates: I am the wisest man alive, for I know one thing, and that is that I know everything!
Dushmantha: e kiwwe?
Socrates: e kiwwe putha…bada uda tyala kehel gediya palala kawath ekai gilala kawath ekai kiyana
eka..therunada? sundhara quickly handovers a big banana to socrates, he peels it very proudly and starts
eating it. The others too takes a banana from somewhere and starts peeling and eating them.
Director: mama nan kanne hondata hapala..rasa ethakotane..
Sundhara: onama deyaka rasa hari sapekshai..sukhana siha uthumano kiyanne ehemai..
Doctor: hah! Okay..I will leave now..mata twa wada tyeanwa…nurse..hadissiyak nan katha karanna eh..
Nurse: hari sir.. they leave
Savulani waits until the doctors leave and takes a rope out of her bag. She ties it around madhuwitha’s
waist and drags him.
On on! Palayan! Eka tana inne natuwa! Madhuwitha starts to walk
Everybody starts to watch the scene in terror
Madhuwitha goes, opens the bag and takes a portable chair, unfolds it and waits at a side. Savulani sits.
Where is my food you idiot?
Madhuwitha opens the bag, takes a napkin and tucks it around her neck. And takes a lunch box opens the
lid and gives it to her. Madhuwitha takes a slice of sandwich bread, a butter and marmite. He applies
them on the slice and hands it over to savulani. She starts eating it. Amadhuwith sits near her legs.
Thara drags the director and cameraman to a side talks Do you see what I see?
Director: yes I see what you see!
Thara: what do you see?
cameraman: what do I see?
Thara: yes?
Director: I see everything except what you don’t see..

Cameraman: wena kehel gana katha karanna api wena ewa dakal tyenna epai..
Savulani wipes her mouth and throws away the remaining pieces of bread onto the floor. Sundhara goes
and starts eating it greedily.
Dhushmantha: This is very unfair! This is discrimination, ill treatment..meka apahasayak! Mama danawa

Savulani: dusts her hand and looks at him. ko?
Dhushmantha: kauda?
Savulani: pirimi?
Duhsmantha: Api okkoma pirimi tamai! Ai mu! This bugger! Muth ehemane!
Socrates: By all means marry; if you get a good wife, you’ll become happy; if you get a bad one, you’ll
become a philosopher.
Dushmantha: e kiwwe?
Socrates: e kiwwe…minihek jiwithe windinne nan, mudda pitin pol gediya leli gahala, kana atha newi

Sundhara: after eating the leftover bread.. tawa nadda?
Madhuwitha takes a piece of brad from his own coat and gives it to sundhara

Savulani: puluwan! She hits madhuwith on the back tawa hayyen katha karapan miniho! HAYYEN!
Madhuwitha breaks into a speech:
Angrily dahask dena dhasan penna kata Kanata kara sinasi kunuharupa kiyana me himidiri hawsyamaye,
oba sama siyalu dena mata dan appiriya weegena enawa..atta washayenma me arthika bankoloth bawayen

arakku samaga musu kara me prajachanchrawadi mewwa ekata maka ba wenna kiya nawatha bala kala
yuthui. Kauru Kohoma kiwwath soru mulata watunu gira pothakaya sorek wenu wina muniyek nowei. How
can I change my language to English when my enimity towards the aforementioned language is much
greater than my sheer passion to enhance my speaking skills and become a bilingual, we have to respect
this nationalistic perspective of ours because my foot and your foot are stupid foots and feets and what not,
mage adaraneeya kaputani, power play and personal propogandas go hand in hand, that is why I tell you
that dena deyak kala wena deyak balagena budyaganima is much better than prsahna kara amaruwe watima,
apita ape nayakaya igannuwe ehemai, let me tell you one thing, I learnt to unlearn things while dressing to
undress myself everyday bambuwa tamai mata tyenneth eka andumai eka maru karala man heluwen innada
eka natuwa man pare yanne kohomda, eka natuwa sokade wanala man kama hoyagannada? He goes around
thara and cameraman and runs around them while tying them with the rope, kiri kiri bole rali rali male me
lamaya kohendo rosa kalen genawe. Then he goes another round or two and unties them hu hu huuuuuuu!
Dil tho pagal hai kuch kuch hita hai, mujhe pagal hai, in a baila tune kaulu piyan path wahanna sandalu
thalawe, oba durai nethata ma sitina lawali thalawe, yanawa Kanawa enawa bonawa yankota enwa enakota
yanwa kanwa bonawa yanawa yanawa! Yang yang yang yang yang yang yang duwala yang kellawa aragena
panala yang! He goes to the edge of the stage stops and looks at the audience and says me mulleriyawa
manasika rohale wadhaka nawayak na! he jumps off the stage and starts to run, a few people follows him
around the audience, he comes near the edge of the stage and falls fainted.
Thara: while pointing at the audience hayyo what are you looking at?! Monawada balan inne, udau karanna
meyawa ussanna! Help them! Two people would carry him and put him to the stage.

Madhuwitha lies on the floor, everybody is shocked and terrified,

Socrates: He who is not contented with what he has would not be contented with what he would like to
have.

Dushmantha: e kiwwe putha,
