Interlogue-EpilogueChapter Summaries & Analyses

Interlogue Summary

Cariani provides two options for how the Interlogue could go, depending on how the Prologue has ended. The first option pairs with the version of the Prologue where Pete does not follow Ginette, and begins after intermission, with Pete alone on the bench which Ginette recently vacated, still looking after her and holding his snowball. He looks down at his snowball and again to where Ginette went, and “ponders the consequences of his theory on being ‘close’” (46).

The second version pairs with the Prologue in which Pete follows Ginette offstage. This version begins during Intermission, with Pete standing away from the bench, looking after Ginette. As with the first version, he again looks down at his snowball and back up, pondering his theory, but then he returns to the bench and sits, staring after her. After Intermission is over, he eventually gets up and slowly goes after her again, exiting the stage.

Act 2, Scene 5 Summary: “They Fell (Male Version)”

In this version of Scene Five, two friends, Chad and Randy (“these guys are one hundred percent ‘guy’”), are in a potato field drinking beer, each trying to claim to have had the worse recent dating experience, like it is a competition (47).
