(Sits down next to SILENT GIRL) SILENT GIRL (Smiles, shakes her head, sighs a little, looks at MARK)

MARK (Smiling amidst the tears): I remember the trip. I was glad she came; I finally found the courage to tell her. (Turns to SILENT GIRL) I took her for a walk near the field of flowers. She loves flowers, especially tulips. I jokingly told her I'd have taken her to the Netherlands for our honeymoon, if it was me she married. She laughed and I kissed her. For the first and last time, our lips met. I wish the kiss never ended. I loved her. I love her still. (Puts hands in head)

Stage lights on IAN (still walking around agitated): I should have told her. I should have confessed before it was too late.

KAREN (still crying): I could have told her. But I didn't. I'm also to blame.

IAN (walks over to KAREN and hugs her tight): Do you think she already...

...

I wish we could've told her. I think she would have understood.
SILENT GIRL (Walks over to them both, whispers): I do. I understand. And I forgive you.

IAN and KAREN stare at the room with wonder. (Stage lights off, IAN and KAREN exits Stage Left, MARK enters Stage Right)

For instance, Constance's supervisor, Professor Claude Knight, frequently plagiarizes her carefully researched and written work. Later, after stealing from her, Knight runs off with a more attractive graduate student, very unlike the Shakespearean heroes Constance is so enamored of, such as Romeo. But because of the heightened absurdity of the pun-ridden scholarship of Constance, and the ugly nature of Knight, the audience does not necessarily see these events as
