This is a very funny monologue; the character is an auto salesman; the invisible non-speaking other is a well-to-do man who is there to buy a car. This is a bit risqué at times, so be forewarned. However, it is not more risqué than you'd hear on cable TV. The well-to-do patron is constantly teased, and sexual innuendos are used. But this monologue is more than just sexual banter. In fact, the monologue uncovers more and more of the character, and despite one's initial reaction to his crudeness, which could be revulsion, and even if that you can't help laughing at him despite yourself, the listener is forced to have warmer feelings at times, and then more often; and is then in a place trying to unravel his various feelings about this working class crude person and the "rich" people characterized. The scene is continually funny and becomes more philosophical toward the end and even a bit poignant. Overall it portrays class or people as complex, and the entire thing could be anyone's Rohrshack Test, as there may be as many reactions to these people as there are listeners. As the dialog unfolds the auto salesman discloses and reveals increasingly more of himself. The climax is when he tells a story about his boss's life, that verges on the allegorical, and also in that way, reflects meaning back into the relationship at the car lot. His strange push - pull dialog with the rich customer takes on a deeper meaning, and the listener may not know what to do with feelings, initially labeling the man as crude and no-class, and later coming to see a side behind the crudeness that looks more and more familiar. Yet there is absolutely no obvious message or bias apparent; and how one views the ending then, is quite unique to each person who listens.
