Characters
John: A reminiscing senior. Must be good at interrupting.
Ligea: A reminiscing senior. Must be good at being interrupted.
Author's note: This is inspired by something I tease Jen with every
once in a while.
Author's note 2: I have two scripts this week, to make up for the
fact that I didn't have one last week.
(John and Ligea are hanging out in their dorm room, towards the end
of their senior year.)
John: Boy, we've had some great times here.
Ligea: We sure have.
J: Remember the time we streaked the Stats final?
L: Or the structure we built in Marriott that reached all the way up
to the ceiling?
J: And remember that glorious weekend in Cancun?
L: ....uh...no.
J: We were fed up with all the work, all the stress, all the cold...so
we just hopped on a plane and spent a weekend relaxing on the
beach? Remember that beach? The pure white sand, the crystal blue
water, the occasional dead crab...
L: Uh, John...I don't remember any of this. Are you sure-
J: Remember the little hotel, with all the tourists dressed in those
ugly floral printed shirts? Remember sitting there and laughing at
the tourists? We didn't have a care in the world that weekend.
L: John, you must be thinking of someone else.
J: Remember the little nightclub we found, off a little road? The
exotic drinks, the island music, the seemingly endless dancing...we
must have twirled around that floor for hours.
L: John, I don't dance, and-
J: Remember the scuba expedition, down among the coral reefs? The
brightly colored fish that swirled around us? Remember seeing that
big ol' lobster crawl out of his hole, take one look at us and scuttle
back in? We laughed so hard we almost lost our respirators.
L: John, I've never been to Cancun. The most exotic place I've ever
been is Des Moines. You must be-
J: And remember that glorious night of passion, on the beach, under
the full, silvery moon? It seemed like that night would last
forever...
L: JOHN!
J: (Snaps out of his reverie) Yes?
L: I've never spent a night of passion with you, in Cancun or anywhere
else!
J: You haven't?
L: You must be thinking of someone else.
J: Uh...that's right. I was...uh...testing your memory. That's it.
L: John, I think it's time for you to go to bed. I'll see you tomorrow.
(Ligea exits.)
J: Now who could it have been? (He makes a formidable effort at
recall.) Sarah?...Nah. Amanda?...No. Demi Moore? (He thinks a little
more.) And maybe it wasn't Cancun, either. Maybe it was...
Minneapolis. (He tries to remember.) Ahh, those fond memories...
(Lights down.)
