(Cast) DETECTIVE 1, GOOD COP DETECTIVE 2, BAD COP PETER PETER PUMPKIN EATER ACT 1 SCENE 1 (In a dimly lit room with one light swinging above the table, a lone older man sits facing a two-way mirror. Two detectives are facing him, one sitting on the right side of the table, allowing people behind the mirror to watch, while the other stands to the left.) DETECTIVE 1 Mr. Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater, you know why you're here, don't you? PETER PETER PUMPKIN EATER You sent a patrol car. That's all I know so far. DETECTIVE 1 No. I mean you know why we brought you here. PETER PETER PUMPKIN EATER (He frowns and pauses to think) Don't have a clue. I may have to sue. DETECTIVE 2 (In a harsher voice than his partner) Quit playing innocent. You know what you've done. (After a pause he chuckles) Mr. Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater. What a stupid name. Should we call you Peter? Or Peter Peter? Or Mr. Pumpkin Eater? PETER PETER PUMPKIN EATER (Sitting forward and placing his arms on the table, he stares straight ahead, ignoring the detective and saying nothing) DETECTIVE 1 You're not going to answer the detective? PETER PETER PUMPKIN EATER I don't like his words. He can go eat dog turds. (Both the detectives break out in laughter.) DETECTIVE 1 Tell us about your wife, Anna Anna Eats Banana? Where is she? PETER PETER PUMPKIN EATER She ran away. Found a banana buffet. DETECTIVE 1 When was that exactly? PETER PETER PUMPKIN EATER I really can't say. Around midday. DETECTIVE 2 (Chuckles and shakes his head) Had a wife and couldn't keep her. PETER PETER PUMPKIN EATER I put her in a pumpkin shell, and there I kept her very well. DETECTIVE 1 But she ran away again. Why? PETER PETER PUMPKIN EATER She left with Monkey Fey. To eat bananas night and day. DETECTIVE 2 There's no evidence of that. Your neighbor thinks you've killed her. PETER PETER PUMPKIN EATER Jerry Jerry Chews Canary? He's a jealous, raving loony. Eats his fowl with a spooney. DETECTIVE 2 I'll bet we find her buried in your garden. PETER PETER PUMPKIN EATER I don't like this journey. Please call my attorney. DETECTIVE 1 And who would that be? PETER PETER PUMPKIN EATER Sam Sam Likes Uncooked Yams. DETECTIVE 2 Why don't you just tell us the truth, and get it off your conscience? PETER PETER PUMPKIN EATER I want my attorney. Please stop with the blarney. DETECTIVE 1 Okay, we'll call him, but we wouldn't have to go through all this if you just had an alibi. PETER PETER PUMPKIN EATER I do! I do! I won't lie to you. DETECTIVE 1 Okay. Now we're getting somewhere. Who were you with? PETER PETER PUMPKIN EATER Jeanie Jeanie Eats Zucchini. Can I go? That's all I know. DETECTIVE 1 (Standing up from the table) Yes, you can go for now. We'll check out your alibi. Where can we find you if we have more questions?
