Leaning back in a great leather -chair, hands folded. He had a reflective air and a well-trimmed goatee. -He hummed a few bars of--"It Ain't Whatcha Do, It's The Way Thatcha -Do It." He broke off and looked up with a kindly smile as the nurse -entered. Her name was Mudde._ - -NURSE MUDDE. Doctor, there is a man in the waiting room who says he -made the world. - -DOCTOR J. Oh? - -NURSE MUDDE. Shall I let him in? - -DOCTOR J. By all means, Nurse Mudde. Show the man in. - -_Nurse Mudde left. A small man entered. He was five foot five wearing a -suit made for a man six foot five. His hands were near-hidden by the -sleeve ends, his trouser leg bottoms creased sharply at the shoe tops, -assuming the function of unattached spats. The shoes were virtually -invisible. As was the gentleman's mouth lurking behind a mustache of -mouselike proportions._ - -DOCTOR J. Won't you have a seat Mr.... - -SMITH. Smith. (_He sits_) - -DOCTOR J. Now. - -(_They regard each other_) - -DOCTOR J. My nurse tells me you made the world. - -SMITH. Yes. (_In a confessional tone_) I did. - -DOCTOR J. (_Settling back in his chair_) All of it? - -SMITH. Yes. - -DOCTOR J. And everything in it? - -SMITH. Take a little, give a little. - -DOCTOR J. You're sure of this? - -SMITH. (_With an expression that clearly says--I am telling the truth -the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help me._) Quite sure. - -DOCTOR J. (_Nods once_) When did you do this thing? - -SMITH. Five years ago. - -DOCTOR J. How old are you? - -SMITH. Forty-seven. - -DOCTOR J. Where were you the other forty-two years? - -SMITH. I wasn't. - -DOCTOR J. You mean you started out.... - -SMITH. Forty-two years old. That's correct. - -DOCTOR J. But the world is millions of years old. - -SMITH. (_Shaking his head_) No. It isn't. - -DOCTOR J. It's five years old. - -SMITH. That's correct. - -DOCTOR J. What about fossils? What about the age of rocks? Uranium into -lead. What about diamonds? - -SMITH. (_Not to be bothered_) Illusions. - -DOCTOR J. You made them up. - -SMITH. That's.... - -DOCTOR J. (_Breaking in_) Why? - -SMITH. To see if I could. - -DOCTOR J. I don't.... - -SMITH. Anyone can make a world. It takes ingenuity to make one and then -make the people on it think that it's existed for millions of years. - -DOCTOR J. How long did all this take you? - -SMITH. Three and a half months. World time. - -DOCTOR J. What do you mean by that? - -SMITH. Before I made the world I lived beyond time. - -DOCTOR J. Where's that? - -SMITH. No where. - -DOCTOR J. In the cosmos? - -SMITH. That's correct. - -DOCTOR J. You didn't like it there? - -SMITH. No. It was boring. - -DOCTOR J. And that's why.... - -SMITH. I made the world. - -DOCTOR J. Yes. But ... how did you make it? - -SMITH. I had books. - -DOCTOR J. Books? - -SMITH. Instruction books. - -DOCTOR J. Where did you get them? - -SMITH. I made them up. - -DOCTOR J. You mean you wrote them? - -SMITH. I ... made them up. - -DOCTOR J. How? - -SMITH. (_Mustache bristling truculently_) I made them up. - -DOCTOR J. (_Lips pursed_) So there you were out in the cosmos with a -handful of books. - -SMITH. That's correct. - -DOCTOR J. What if you had dropped them? - -SMITH. (_Chooses not to answer this patent absurdity_) - -DOCTOR J. Mister Smith. - -SMITH. Yes? - -DOCTOR J. Who made you? - -SMITH. (_Shakes his head_) I don't know. - -DOCTOR J. Were you always like this? (_He points at Mr. Smith's lowly -frame._) - -SMITH. I don't think so. I think that I was punished. - -DOCTOR J. For what? - -SMITH. For making the world so complicated. - -DOCTOR J. I should think so. - -SMITH. It's not my fault. I just made it, I didn't say it would work -right. - -DOCTOR J. You just started your machine and then walked away. - -SMITH. That's.... - -DOCTOR J. Then what are you doing here? - -SMITH. I told you. I think I've been punished. - -DOCTOR J. Oh yes. For making it too complicated. I forgot. - -SMITH. That's correct. - -DOCTOR J. Who punished you? - -SMITH. I don't remember. - -DOCTOR J. That's convenient. - -SMITH. (_Looks morose_) - -DOCTOR J. Might it be God? - -SMITH. (_Shrugs_) It might. - -DOCTOR J. He might have a few fingers in the rest of the Universe. - -SMITH. He might. But I made the world. - -DOCTOR J. Enough, Mr. Smith, you did not make the world. - -SMITH. (_Insulted_) Yes, I did too. - -DOCTOR J. And you created me? - -SMITH. (_Concedingly_) Indirectly. - -DOCTOR J. Then uncreate me. - -SMITH. I can't. - -DOCTOR J. Why? - -SMITH. I just started things. I don't control them now. - -DOCTOR J. (_Sighs_) Then what are you worried about, Mr. Smith? - -SMITH. I have a premonition. - -DOCTOR J. What about? - -SMITH. I'm going to die. - -DOCTOR J. So...? - -SMITH. Someone has to take over. Or else. - -DOCTOR J. Or else...? - -SMITH. The whole world will go. - -DOCTOR J. Go where? - -SMITH. No where. Just disappear. - -DOCTOR J. How can it disappear if it works independently of you? - -SMITH. It will be taken away to punish me. - -DOCTOR J. You? - -SMITH. Yes. - -DOCTOR J. You mean if you die, the entire world will disappear? - -SMITH. That's correct. - -DOCTOR J. If I shot you, the instant you died I would disappear? - -SMITH. That's.... - -DOCTOR J. I have advice. - -SMITH. Yes? You will help? - -DOCTOR J. Go to see a reputable psychiatrist. - -SMITH. (_Standing_) I should have known. I have no more to say. - -DOCTOR J. (_Shrugs_) As you will. - -SMITH. I'll go but you'll be sorry about this. - -DOCTOR J. I dare say you are already sorry, Mr. Smith. - -SMITH. Goodbye. (_Mr. Smith exits. Doctor Janishefsky calls for his -nurse over the interphone. Nurse Mudde enters._) - -NURSE M. Yes, doctor? - -DOCTOR J. Nurse Mudde, stand by the window and tell me what you see. - -NURSE M. What I...? - -DOCTOR J. What you see. I want you to tell me what Mr. Smith does after -he comes out of the building. - -NURSE M. (_Shrugs_) Yes, doctor. (_She goes to the window_) - -DOCTOR J. Has he come out yet? - -NURSE M. No. - -DOCTOR J. Keep watching. - -NURSE M. There he is. He's stepping off the curb. He's walking across -the street. - -DOCTOR J. Yes. - -NURSE M. He's stopping now in the middle of the street. He's turning. -He's looking up at this window. There's a look of ... of ... -_realization_ on his face. He's coming back. (_She screams_) He's been -hit by a car. He's lying on the street.... - -DOCTOR J. What is it, Nurse Mudde? - -Nurse M. (_Reeling_) Everything is ... is _fading_! Doctor Janishefsky, -it's fading! (_Another scream_) - -DOCTOR J. Don't be absurd, Nurse Mudde. Look at me. Can you honestly -say that.... (_He stops talking. She cannot honestly say anything. She -is not there. Doctor Janishefsky who is not really Doctor Janishefsky -floats alone in the cosmos in his chair which is not really a chair. -He looks at the chair beside him._) I hope you've learned your lesson. -I'm going to put your toy back but don't you dare go near it. So you're -bored are you? Scalliwag! You just behave yourself or I'll take away -your books too! (_He snorts_) So you made them up, did you? (He looks -around). How about picking them up, jackanapes! - -SMITH.

Leaning back in a great leather -chair, hands folded. He had a reflective air and a well-trimmed goatee. -He hummed a few bars of—"It Ain't Whatcha Do, It's The Way Thatcha -Do It." He broke off and looked up with a kindly smile as the nurse -entered. Her name was Mudde.</i></p> - -<p>NURSE MUDDE. Doctor, there is a man in the waiting room who says he -made the world.</p> - -<p>DOCTOR J. Oh?</p> - -<p>NURSE MUDDE. Shall I let him in?</p> - -<p>DOCTOR J. By all means, Nurse Mudde. Show the man in.</p> - -<p><i>Nurse Mudde left. A small man entered. He was five foot five wearing a -suit made for a man six foot five. His hands were near-hidden by the -sleeve ends, his trouser leg bottoms creased sharply at the shoe tops, -assuming the function of unattached spats. The shoes were virtually -invisible. As was the gentleman's mouth lurking behind a mustache of -mouselike proportions.</i></p> - -<p>DOCTOR J. Won't you have a seat Mr....</p> - -<p>SMITH. Smith. (<i>He sits</i>)</p> - -<p>DOCTOR J. Now.</p> - -<p>(<i>They regard each other</i>)</p> - -<p>DOCTOR J. My nurse tells me you made the world.</p> - -<p>SMITH. Yes. (<i>In a confessional tone</i>) I did.</p> - -<p>DOCTOR J. (<i>Settling back in his chair</i>) All of it?</p> - -<p>SMITH. Yes.</p> - -<p>DOCTOR J. And everything in it?</p> - -<p>SMITH. Take a little, give a little.</p> - -<p>DOCTOR J. You're sure of this?</p> - -<p>SMITH. (<i>With an expression that clearly says—I am telling the truth -the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help me.</i>) Quite sure.</p> - -<p>DOCTOR J.

Anyone can make a world. It takes ingenuity to make one and then -make the people on it think that it's existed for millions of years.</p> - -<p>DOCTOR J. How long did all this take you?</p> - -<p>SMITH. Three and a half months. World time.</p> - -<p>DOCTOR J. What do you mean by that?</p> - -<p>SMITH. Before I made the world I lived beyond time.</p> - -<p>DOCTOR J. Where's that?</p> - -<p>SMITH. No where.</p> - -<p>DOCTOR J. In the cosmos?</p> - -<p>SMITH. That's correct.</p> - -<p>DOCTOR J.

Yes?</p> - -<p>DOCTOR J. Who made you?</p> - -<p>SMITH. (<i>Shakes his head</i>) I don't know.</p> - -<p>DOCTOR J. Were you always like this? (<i>He points at Mr. Smith's lowly -frame.</i>)</p> - -<p>SMITH. I don't think so. I think that I was punished.</p> - -<p>DOCTOR J. For what?</p> - -<p>SMITH. For making the world so complicated.</p> - -<p>DOCTOR J. I should think so.</p> - -<p>SMITH. It's not my fault. I just made it, I didn't say it would work -right.</p> - -<p>DOCTOR J. You just started your machine and then walked away.</p> - -<p>SMITH. That's....</p> - -<p>DOCTOR J. Then what are you doing here?</p> - -<p>SMITH. I told you. I think I've been punished.</p> - -<p>DOCTOR J. Oh yes. For making it too complicated. I forgot.</p> - -<p>SMITH. That's correct.</p> - -<p>DOCTOR J. Who punished you?</p> - -<p>SMITH. I don't remember.</p> - -<p>DOCTOR J. That's convenient.</p> - -<p>SMITH. (<i>Looks morose</i>)</p> - -<p>DOCTOR J. Might it be God?</p> - -<p>SMITH. (<i>Shrugs</i>) It might.</p> - -<p>DOCTOR J. He might have a few fingers in the rest of the Universe.</p> - -<p>SMITH. He might. But I made the world.</p> - -<p>DOCTOR J. Enough, Mr. Smith, you did not make the world.</p> - -<p>SMITH. (<i>Insulted</i>) Yes, I did too.</p> - -<p>DOCTOR J. And you created me?</p> - -<p>SMITH. (<i>Concedingly</i>) Indirectly.</p> - -<p>DOCTOR J. Then uncreate me.</p> - -<p>SMITH. I can't.</p> - -<p>DOCTOR J. Why?</p> - -<p>SMITH. I just started things. I don't control them now.</p> - -<p>DOCTOR J. (<i>Sighs</i>) Then what are you worried about, Mr. Smith?</p> - -<p>SMITH. I have a premonition.</p> - -<p>DOCTOR J. What about?</p> - -<p>SMITH. I'm going to die.</p> - -<p>DOCTOR J. So...?</p> - -<p>SMITH. Someone has to take over. Or else.</p> - -<p>DOCTOR J. Or else...?</p> - -<p>SMITH. The whole world will go.</p> - -<p>DOCTOR J. Go where?</p> - -<p>SMITH. No where. Just disappear.</p> - -<p>DOCTOR J. How can it disappear if it works independently of you?</p> - -<p>SMITH. It will be taken away to punish me.</p> - -<p>DOCTOR J. You?</p> - -<p>SMITH. Yes.</p> - -<p>DOCTOR J. You mean if you die, the entire world will disappear?</p> - -<p>SMITH. That's correct.</p> - -<p>DOCTOR J. If I shot you, the instant you died I would disappear?</p> - -<p>SMITH. That's....</p> - -<p>DOCTOR J. I have advice.</p> - -<p>SMITH. Yes? You will help?</p> - -<p>DOCTOR J. Go to see a reputable psychiatrist.</p> - -<p>SMITH. (<i>Standing</i>) I should have known. I have no more to say.</p> - -<p>DOCTOR J. (<i>Shrugs</i>) As you will.</p> - -<p>SMITH. I'll go but you'll be sorry about this.</p> - -<p>DOCTOR J. I dare say you are already sorry, Mr. Smith.</p> - -<p>SMITH. Goodbye. (<i>Mr. Smith exits. Doctor Janishefsky calls for his -nurse over the interphone. Nurse Mudde enters.</i>)</p> - -<p>NURSE M. Yes, doctor?</p> - -<p>DOCTOR J. Nurse Mudde, stand by the window and tell me what you see.</p> - -<p>NURSE M. What I...?</p> - -<p>DOCTOR J. What you see.

Yes.</p> - -<p>NURSE M. He's stopping now in the middle of the street. He's turning. -He's looking up at this window. There's a look of ... of ... -<i>realization</i> on his face. He's coming back. (<i>She screams</i>) He's been -hit by a car. He's lying on the street....</p> - -<p>DOCTOR J. What is it, Nurse Mudde?</p> - -<p>Nurse M. (<i>Reeling</i>) Everything is ... is <i>fading</i>! Doctor Janishefsky, -it's fading! (<i>Another scream</i>)</p> - -<p>DOCTOR J. Don't be absurd, Nurse Mudde. Look at me. Can you honestly -say that.... (<i>He stops talking. She cannot honestly say anything. She -is not there. Doctor Janishefsky who is not really Doctor Janishefsky -floats alone in the cosmos in his chair which is not really a chair. -He looks at the chair beside him.</i>) I hope you've learned your lesson. -I'm going to put your toy back but don't you dare go near it. So you're -bored are you? Scalliwag! You just behave yourself or I'll take away -your books too! (<i>He snorts</i>) So you made them up, did you? (He looks -around).
