take a seat
Come in, come in and take a seat, but please don’t wait for the show to start.
It has already started.
You probably thought it would begin once an audience had assembled, we apologize for any confusion.
The show began before you arrived and it will continue after you leave.
(It may follow you like a puppy or a lingering dream.)
You don’t have to stay here, this is just where we keep the chairs and you can take your chair with you, if you are attached to it, or you may choose another.
The only wrong decision is choosing not to change if you are unsatisfied with your last choice.
(It is, we know, a difficult thing to choose new choices and make new changes but it is best, do please trust us on that matter.)
Whatever you choose, please don’t wait.
As we mentioned previously: the show has already begun and we need you to play your part, whatever you wish that to be.
