Hydrogen for President | Page 31

[Hydrogen and Oxygen sit at a table. Hydrogen rests her head in her hands.]
Hydrogen: Oxygen, why am I so small?
Oxygen: ‘Cause you only have one proton?

[Hydrogen looks up at Oxygen.]
Hydrogen: But why do I only have one proton?
Oxygen: ‘Cause your atomic number is one?

[Hydrogen is visibly annoyed.]
Hydrogen: But why is my atomic number one?
Oxygen: ‘Cause you only have one proton?

[Hydrogen drops her head back into her hands.]
Hydrogen: <Bleep> you.
Oxygen: Maybe that’s why you’re not being very positive!
