To spice it up for modern times, I have stated and listed the things I would like to do if I were to ever recreate this piece now.

Items:
1. YOU
2. TANK

A.STAND DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF TANK UNMOVING, STRONG, TALL, UNINTIMIDATED. SLOWLY ALLOW YOURSELF TO BE FUELED BY ANGER AND A SENSE OF PROTECTION FOR YOUR CAUSE AND YOUR FELLOW REVOLUTIONARIES

B.MOVE OR DO ANYTHING YOU CAN TO PREVENT THE TANKS FROM PASSING YOU. YOU MUST NOT LET THEM GET THROUGH.

This is an exercise of the strength of your will. Practice as often as possible.
Allow enough time for A before moving on to B.
Be able to gage the situation. Make your statement with A. B has an indefinite time.

At first, fear will take hold. You are standing out there along facing beasts of machines. Don’t stray or be distracted
Be aware of the movements of the tanks.

The Roles:
1. NEWS REPORTER
2. TANK DRIVER
3. COLLEGE STUDENT

NEWS REPORTER:
*CUE NEWS STATION OPENING SONG*
“ This just in. Reports of a revolt in China, now taking place. The people responsible for this riot are Chinese college students, smart and well-educated, at the top of their class. These students demand their rights to be recognized by the Chinese government. They hope to achieve their rights in this demonstration. However, will Communist China stand for it? As the protest got more intense the government set in tanks as reinforcements. It is unclear what the government intends to do with these tanks. Local bystanders suspect the tanks were brought in to annihilate the students for wanting to challenge their government. Governemtn officials will not give us any further details regarding their presence here in Tiananmen Square other than to police the riot. One brave student must have suspected the tanks meant harm. Heres a clip of the raw footage we have received.”

“The single brave student stands alone facing multiple tanks while carrying what appears to be grocery bags. He stands there, tall, at a complete dead stop, not even intimidated. He flails his arms as if to shoo the tank away. Oh! And now he climbs on top of the tank. I think he wants to have a word with the driver of that tank! You can tell by his body language that he is very heated and angry. He’s one brave guy for doing all this. I wonder what the tank driver is thinking… Thanks for tuning in. More updates about this man tonight at 9.”

TANK DRIVER:
“AGH! What the fuck, man?! What is this kid doing? I wish he would just get out of my way before the commander tells me to blow him into smithereens like BOOM! I don’t really care about all this… I’m just doing what I’m told…what the commander ordered me to do. Why must this kid make this so complicated? Oh! I know! I’ll move around him! I’m, like, so brilliant! Here we go… Oh what!? Goddammit! Shit man! What do I do? I can’t just run him over! God! That ili fucker… Boy is he persistent or what!? Oh shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! He’s climbing up my tank! AHH CRAP! Dude man! I have nothing to do w/ any of this! It’s cool you’re fighting for a cause n all… I wasn’t gonna really fire at you guys. It’s just meant to scare you and end the revolt! AHH get off me! You crazy kid! C’mon! Make my job easier and move it kiddo! AUGH! FML! Why is he so fucking angry!?”

COLLEGE STUDENT:
“You will NOT get passed me! I am smarter than you! You government pigs will HAVE to face us and answer to our problems! You can no longer get away with this and keep ignoring us! The world is watching! We demand our rights! Now turn around and get the fuck out of here! OH SHIT! He’s coming closer…NO! I have to be strong and stand my ground! I’m not afraid to die!! Wow, it’s hard to believe that I’m here now… nothing usually happens to me. The worst that has ever happened is when I feel down some stairs and scraped my knee, or like when I stabbed my hand with that really sharp pencil back in first grade. And now I’m standing in front of six or more tanks…I might actually die! Well I’m not afraid! Oh no you don’t! You think I’ll let you pass me that easily?? Stupid pig! I hope my eggs are still okay… Wow this guy must be really stupid if he thinks he can just go around me like that. What a fool! ‘GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE ASSHOLE!’ Or I’ll give you a piece of my mind! I’m gonna climb up there and talk to him. ‘HEY! WHERE ARE YOU? CAN YOU HEAR ME? YEAH TURN BACK! GET AWAY! Let the government see this! The world will hear our voices!’”
