Cowboy Todd and Ranch owner Susan discuss her impropriety in Aunt Santhea...
Now guys, don't be bashful about giving me your reactions. This series of scenes is in the nature of an experiment, because neither one of us can memorize a script anymore, so we are going improv. I know this play so well after revising it 250 times since I wrote it 50 years ago, that I know where it is going. I made Doc make a recording of it before we got the video camera. After we got the camera he read from the script for a home movie I sent to some of you, but he would never stick to the script, so I thought why not let him improvise the whole scene? By the time he got through improvising the movie was nearly 3 hours long. Only the hardiest people could stand to watch it.
Doc was afraid he couldn't improvise the whole scene from memory, but I thought he did a better job than I did, as I repeated myself here and there. I am sure my director and playwright and script writer sons will notice, but hey maybe they will give Doc and me a part in the first western they make. How about that?
Doc and I will be playing all the parts. I have even persuaded him to try some of the women's roles, besides playing Aunt Santhea when she is really a man trying to collect millions before anybody finds out. Doc is so versatile. Since I am a playwright I can't very well do without him.

This was great!!! :D

Very good improvisation by Doc and yourself. Doc was so natural considering he has only been told the story. Very good both of you!
Keep up the good work.
