Description Two men with briefcases, (Mr. I and Mr. II), find themselves in a prison. They spend a lot of time and euphemistic talk trying to describe - or avoid describing - what brought them there and whether they are forbidden to leave. They fight, each accusing the other of making things worse with the unseen authorities. Shouldn't they try to leave? says the more aggressive Mr. II . No, answers Mr. I, that's an external choice. He is concerned with his internal, his personal freedom.
