A Night Out With the Boys

Scene: A small bedroom. Queen sized bed stage right. A door at edge of the bed closer to down center stage. Center stage, large bean bag. Stage right, shair beside bean bag. Television up stage right. Enter through door Blake and Mitch, followed closely by Beth and Amy, followed by Cevin. Blake stands center stage, Mitch flops down on bean bag, Beth and Amy sit on edge of bed. Devin stands in the doorway.1

Blake: So, what do you guys want to do?2

Beth: I don’t know. What did you plan to do?3

Mitch: (random and spontanious) Dude, I can go to school and say that this weekend I saw two girls on a bed together!4

Amy: (shocked at such a thing) You have got to be kidding me!5

Devin: You can’t say they were doing anything. (holds cell phone in the air)6

Blake: (to Devin) Dude, what are you doing?7

Devin: (snaping phone closed in frustration) There are three parties going on right now and we are here!8

Mitch: (rolling his eyes) Well, if you come in past the doorway, there are two girls on a bed!9

Devin: That’s the problem, there are only two.10

Mitch: (getting frustrated at Devin’s complaints) Then why don’t you just go!11

Devin: (hopeful) Are you going to drive me back home?12

Mitch: No.13

Devin: (in exasperation) Great.14

Blake: (interupting) So, how ‘bout a movie? (looking at Beth) Who wants a drink?15

Beth: We’re fine.16

Blake: Alright, I’ll be back. Hey Mitch! Come with me.17

Mitch: (pulling himself off the bean bag, eyes never leaving the bed) You must really hate me. (head toward door behind Blake)18

Devin: (blocking doorway) Why don’t you go and grab some of those beers from your secret stash?19

Mitch: (in complete sarcastic shock) Dude! You weren’t supposed to tell anyone about that! (all guys laugh, Blake and Mitch exit through door)20

Amy: (breathing a sigh of relief) What did you get me into girlie?21

Beth: (laughing) I don’t’ know yet. (stand, walk toward bean bag and flop down, sitting)22

Amy: (pull out cell phone and push a few buttons, stand walk toward bean bag and stand in front of Beth with phone pointed at her) Hold still.23

Beth: (trying to hide her face) Noooooooooooooo!24

Amy: (trying to get Beth’s face through her hands) Oh come on! Just one! I don’t have any pics of you! (push button, see flash) Ha! I got you!25

Beth: (frantically standing and advacing on Amy) What? Delete it! That’s an awful picture!26

Amy: (holding phone away from Beth) No way! (walk to Devin, show him the picture) Can you believe she wants to delete that?27

Devin: (stepping back) Oh, there is no way I’m getting involved in this!28

Beth: (pouncing on Amy) Delete it!29

Amy: (fighting her off without much success) Alright! Alright! I’ll delete it! See? It’s gone.30

Beth: (stepping away and looking smug) Good. (starts to straighten her clothes and hair)31

Amy: (teasing Beth) Wouldn’t want to look at mess when Blake gets back.32

Devin: (seeming interested) You have the hots for Blake, don’t you?33

Beth: (without much care) Yep. No sense in hiding it.34

Devin: (nodding in approval) Good.35

Beth: (curiously raising one eyebrow) Why?36

Devin: (matter-of-factly) Because he’s got the hots for you.37

(enter Blake and Mitch through door, pushing past Devin)38

Blake: (carrying cokes) Here Beth, want a coke?39

Beth: (sitting on the middle of the bean bag) Sure, thanks.40

Blake: (handing her the coke and pointing to the side of the bean bag on her left) Is this seat taken?41

Beth: (smiling) Nope.42

Blake: (gaining confidence) May I sit next to you?43

Beth: (taking a deep breath, smile getting wider) Do you even have to ask?44

(lights fade out)
