Time to go. Have to be crouching tiger for a while. Like opium woman warrior. Bye, Mel. (Falls asleep at her table.)

Scene 2

(It's July 4, 2020, and Donald J. Trump has just finished giving a speech before a raucous Independence Day crowd. He's still standing at the dais, the crowd being ushered off, when a Zoom call from Xi comes in. We see the Rushmore faces in the background.)

Trump

Oh what's he want now?

Xi (the Great Wall bluescreened behind him)

Hello, Donald. Just checkin in. See how Dete'ste going? (Laughs to some unknown person offscreen.) CNN showing fireworks. How come you have fireworks in day time?

Trump

Not fireworks, Xi. Some Lakota people, not my people, but a lot of them are good people, they shot off some Jungle Flowers and Warrior's Tales and made a big noise about owning the Black Hills. Still mad. That's all just a little warpath action by losers. So sad. They're a marvelous people. We had to break some heads. My people say it's under control now. (Sees the Great Wall behind Xi.) What about you? Why are you at the Wall? I really like that Wall, Xi.

Xi

Lakota, huh? (Laughs to offscreen figure.) You know, Donald, Lakota come from China originally. Just up the road, actually. Cross the Bering Land Bridge. Ta-da. Hunt buffalo. Shark fin soup of the day. (Makes cajones gesture, laughter heard offscreen.)

Trump

Bering Strait? Is that some kind of conspiracy theory?

Xi

No theory, Donald. (laughs) Just the facts, ma'am.
