The Toilet, by Amiri Baraka

KAROLIS. I’ll fight you, Ray […] I want to fight you […] Yes, Ray, I want to fight you, now. I want to kill you […] I sent you a note, remember. That note saying I loved you…The note saying you were beautiful…You remember that note, Ray? […] The one that said I wanted to take you into my mouth. (FOOTS lunges at KAROLIS and misses.) Did I call you Ray in that letter. . .or Foots? (Trying to laugh.) Foots! […] That’s whoI want to kill. Foots! […] I’ll fight you. Right here in this same place where you said your name was Ray. (Screaming. He lunges at FOOTS and manages to grab him in a choke hold.) Ray, you said your name was. You said Ray. Right here in this filthy toilet. You said Ray. (He is choking FOOTS and screaming. FOOTS struggles and is punching KAROLIS in the back and stomach, but he cannot get out of the hold.) You put your hand on me and said Ray!
