    I want to be clear and honest right out of the gate. I adore ANYTHING written by Scott Sickles, and THERE’S NOTHING TO SEE HERE
    SO JUST MOVE ALONG ALREADY! is no exception. The characters: clear and charming. The dialogue: sharp and witty. The pacing: perfection. This two-handed MUST be produced. Thank you for coming to my TedTalk.

    What a fantastic ten-minute play! I love how the history between the two characters unfolds and surprises us while they're examining a (bloody but very funny) "crime scene." I also love that it's set on Christmas Eve, making it a surprisingly lovely and heartfelt holiday play as well as a wonderfully unusual one. Audiences would love this!

    Leave it to Scott Sickles to turn a bloody murder scene into a tender lovers-to-friends comedy! "There's Nothing To See Here So Just Move Along Already!" may seem overly defensive at a glance, but dig a bit deeper and you'll find it disarmingly sweet and convincingly procedural. Another excellent short from the master of meet cutes and unconventional romance.

BILL and PATS can be played by adult actors of any race or gender.
VICTIM can be a dummy onstage (it's better if it is) but their voice is heard in a recording.
