sleeping on the floor.
a couch with a man and woman on it. two men on the floor. it is nighttime.
john : evil dead is such a great movie. i told you you'd like it.
scott : i know. always hilarious. i'm always a little sickened about the hand to chainsaw part, but still find it hilarious.
john : seriously.
pause.
john : what about you dan? sarah?
pause.
john : guys?
pause.
scott (whispered) : i think they're -
john (whispered) : shup up! no! on my couch?
scott (whispered) : does he think we're asleep?
john (whispered) : maybe he doesn't care...
from now on, everything is whispered. it's tiring to write "(whispered)" over and over again.
scott : it's kind of funny. and awesome that he's confident enough to do that here.
john : god. but - they'll probably break up soon anyway.
scott : so.
john : is it really worth getting head in front of your friends when you're going to break up in a month or two?
scott : well - no... but are you getting it right now?
john : well, scott....
pause..
john : i'm kidding.
scott : oh good. i mean - people talk - but i didn't think-
john : are you serious?
scott : well, i mean - no one has ever seen you with a girl, john.
john : there just hasn't been one i like.
scott : yeah, but you don't even talk about women like that either. i'm sorry.. i'm just telling you what i've heard.
john : no. no! girls, man. i like girls.
scott : ok. but give me something to go on, when was the last girl you had?
john : i - there isn't one.
scott : not one?
john : no.
pause.
scott : are you sure you're n-
john : stop it man! no! i like women.
scott : ok, fine. and there's no one you're at least mildly interested in?
john : well, there's this girl at the office supplies store.
scott : yeah?
john : she's kinda hot. she's a little, uh, round, but has huge breasts. i wanna - well you know.
scott : oh yeah. that's hot. you should get that.
john : yeah. i don't know. we're friends. i'd hate to -
scott : yeah friends is hard.
john : and it's work.
scott : yeah, i don't have a job.
john : work is almost like family.
scott : oh - that's disgusting john.
john : i mean, like a family you can sleep with - but you worry if you do - you'll become an outcast like a- drunk gay uncle.
scott : i got it.
pause.
scott : you should just get her drunk enough to pass out.
john : i've thought about it.
pause.
john : dan?
pause.
john : dan?
the end.
