In a second exercise, Whiteman asked the workshoppers for lines of dialogue, giving them no hint of what he planned to do with their suggestions. They offered “You did what with my cow?”, “What a beautiful sunset,” “You won’t understand sex until you’re old and gray,” “Ouch! That hurts,” “No,” “I won’t do that until you come home for dinner,” “Those curtains are lovely but do you think they’re appropriate for the kitchen?” “I’m going for a doctor,” and “Do you have any lemon merangue pie?” There were 12 lines in all, the suggestions taken done by the unofficial secretary in each new group of three. Whiteman then directed that the lines, starting with the first given, be designated, “A, B, C” until there were four A’s, four B’s and four C’s. then the group members were tagged as A, B and. C characters and sent off to work up a script, using just the lines in sequence and relying on body language, facial expressions and on-stage action to make them more than just a string of non-sequitors.
