INT. THEATER - FALL FORMAL - NIGHT JOEY and LISA sit in the packed theater. Intermission music plays in the background. Joey stands up. He stretches. JOEY He still hasn't called. Lisa texts on her cell. LISA He'll call. JOEY No. It's over. Well, it never started, but you know what I mean. LISA It'll be okay. She puts her phone away. JOEY You have a boyfriend. Do you have any idea how hard it is to find a nice gay Jewish boy in LA? Lisa smiles. LISA You're the only nice gay Jewish boy I know. JOEY Exactly! I might just start pitching for the other team. LISA I would actually pay to see that. JOEY I've dated girls. LISA A girl. You dated a girl, just one, and that was in 8th grade. I hardly think that counts. Joey pouts. JOEY I'm screwed. LISA You're a hopeless romantic. It's not your fault. He browses the crowd for hotties. He spots one. JOEY Ooo la la. He's cute. Lisa stands up next to him. LISA Where? He slightly points. JOEY Him, in the red tie. Black fedora. Totally gay. Lisa shakes her head. LISA Totally straight. Joey squints trying to get a better look. JOEY Nooooo. He's gay. I can tell. I have gay-dar you know. Lisa laughs. LISA No, you just hope every hot piece of ass you spot is gay. JOEY I do that? She nods. LISA You do that. They sit down. JOEY What about you? How's holy matrimony treating you? LISA It's good. Then again, I'm here with you. Joey smiles. JOEY I am the best substitute to a husband. LISA You really are. JOEY Why didn't Charlie come? LISA Football season. JOEY Is that a legitimate excuse? Isn't that what DVR's were made for? LISA I've tried that approach. (She sighs) Make sure you're calendar is clear. As long as there is a sport in season he'll be unavailable to me. Except for sex of course. JOEY Oh hell no! So he flakes out at attending an awesome show, but demands sex when you get home? LISA He doesn't demand it. And, we don't have sex till the game is over. Joey laughs. More so because he pities Lisa. JOEY And here I thought my love life sucked. She playfully smacks his arm. LISA Thanks. JOEY You're welcome. Lights flash to let everyone the show will continue in a few minutes. LISA Don't worry. There's a nice gay Jewish boy out there for you. JOEY I know. Lisa holds Joey's hand. JOEY CONT'D I wonder if the shows host is single. He's totally gay. LISA Nope. He's definitely straight. JOEY Fuck. The curtain opens. THE END. |
