I have this scene for a 10 minute play: A guy lets a police officer use the bathroom during a stakeout while his partner and him have a awkward and enlightening conversation.
Genesis: my friend and fellow playwright, Patrick, wrote a fb status that there were cops outside his house and ask to use the bathroom…
===
Its alright dude, cops block my neighborhood for 12 hours now. Its in the news…
Me: hey Mom, there’s was a bunch of cops in our front yard all day. They even ask if they can use our bathroom.
Mom: oh my god anak… was our bathroom clean?? Juice ko.

So the scene I see in my head is where an officer is in that bathroom and the owner and the officer’s partner are having a conversation.
Questions:
What does the owner want?
What does the partner want?
Do they switch places?
What do they have in common?
