Play logline A man about 40 returns to his old school and demands to refund the tution fees paid by him 18 years back for the reason that the education given to him never proved useful and that he is now not good for anything. The Principal is seated at his flat-tapped desk in his office in a high school. Enter a servant. THE PRINICIPAL: Well, what is it? THE SERVANT: A man, sir. Outside. He wants to see you. THE PRINCIPAL [leaning back and stretching]: I receive parents only during office hours. The particular office hours are posted in the notice-board. Tell him that. THE SERVANT: Yes, sir. Yes, sir. But it isn’t a parent, sir. THE PRINCIPAL: A pupil? THE SERVANT: I don’t think so. He has a beard. THE PRINICPAL [disquieted]: Not a parent and not a pupil. Then what is he? THE SERVANT: He told me I should just say ‘Wasserkopf.’ THE PRINICIPAL [much disquieted]: What does he look like? Stupid? Intelligent? THE SERVANT: Fairly intelligent, I’d say, sir. THE PRINICPAL [reassured]: Good! Then he’s not a school inspector. Show him in. THE SERVANT: Yes, sir. [He goes off. An instant later the door reopens to admit a bearded man, carelessly dressed, somewhat under forty. He is energetic and decided] WASSERKOPF: How do you do? [He remains standing] THE PRINICPAL [rising]: What can I do for you? WASSERKOPF: I’m Wasserkopf. [He pauses] Don’t you remember me? THE PRINCIPAL [shaking his head]: No. WASSERKOPF: It’s possible I’ve changed. What the hell…! Your class records will show I’ve got a right to come here. THE PRINICPAL: The class records? How so? WASSERKOPF: Mr. Principal, if you please, I’m Wasserkopf. THE PRINCIPAL: Doubtless, doubtless - but what has that to do with it? WASSERKOPF: You mean to say you don’t even remember my name? [He thinks it over] No, I imagine you wouldn’t. You were probably glad to forget me. Well, Mr. Principal, I was a student in this school eighteen years ago. THE PRINICPAL [without enthusiasm]: Oh, were you? Well, what do you want now? A certificate? WASSERKOPF [doubtfully]: Since I’m bringing back the leaving certificate you gave me I suppose I can get along without another one. No, that isn’t why I came here.
