CAST
Ken - On the phone talking about Jenny
Jenny - TV addict
Joe - Casual blind-dater
(Ken is on the phone, talking about Jenny's blind date with a friend.)
KEN
I'm worried about Jenny's blind date tonight. I just need to stop setting her up with people. She treats the dates too much like something you'd see on TV.
(Lights out on Ken SL Lights up on Jenny and Joe sitting at a table DCS.)
JENNY
So what did you do yesterday, Joe?
JOE
Oh, just stayed in with my cats.
JENNY
(Slamming the Table)
Then why do we have eyewitnesses placing you at the scene of your place of work from 9-5, HMMMMM?
(Lights out on Jenny and Joe sitting at a table DCS. Lights up on Ken SL.)
KEN
Yeah, she starts with the bad cop! She doesn't even have a good cop to follow up, she just plays both parts!
(Lights out on Ken SL Lights up on Jenny and Joe sitting at a table DCS.)
JENNY
Hey, sorry about my partner, she can be a real LOOSE CANNON. Here's a glass of water, can I get you anything?
JOE
Maybe just the check?
JENNY
(Laughing)
Oh, Joe. Listen, I know you're innocent, you just need to convince my partner.
(Turns around, turns back and her body language changes back to the bad cop.)
Get your story straightened out coward!
(Lights out on Jenny and Joe sitting at a table DCS. Lights up on Ken SL.)
KEN
I mean I've seen it bomb so many times and her backup is even worse. She just tries to go all in with what she says is a "mating call."
(Lights out on Ken SL Lights up on Jenny and Joe sitting at a table DCS.)
JENNY
(Screeching)
JOE
Honestly? You're pretty cute... you've had me from the beginning, do you want to get out of here?
JENNY
(Screeching. The Jurassic Park theme plays and Joe leads Jenny out by the hand.)
(Lights out on Jenny and Joe sitting at a table DCS. Lights up on Ken SL.)
KEN
Who knows if Jenny will ever find love. It's a shame too, because Joe is a huge movie and sci-fi buff. Could you imagine how freaky their kids would be?!
(Blackout.)
