Crap, I’m out of smokes.

Well you shouldn’t smoke, anyway.

No worries, I won’t be.

At least until you buy more?

Well, yeah.

So here’s what I don’t get…

No.

Mmm?

Don’t introduce it, just say it. Don’t worry about giving me a lead in. I’m good.

All right! This play is going to suck.

Yup! Probably will. But Natasha is in it and we promised her we’d go. Besides backstage party after.

Couldn’t we just show up for the end and say we sat in back?

No, because we’re her friends.

I can be friends with someone and never see them in a shitty play.

You know what I mean! We aren’t going to lie to her.

All right but if anyone we know would understand that we just didn’t want to be there it’d be her, right?

Sure.

So then…

Because we said we would.

I think if we, maybe if we just didn’t… and then…

We’re going. Hold up I need to grab some smokes.

Yeah, no, you just go on in. I’ll wait out here. And talk to myself. And…

Huh?

That was fast.

I’m efficient. So, look, we’re almost there.

Where, it’s here?

Yeah, upstairs.

All right but here’s the deal.

There’s a deal now?

Now? There is a deal. If this play sucks…

Which it will.

Yes. I will stand up and scream “I did it, Hamlet! It wasn’t your uncle, it was ME!”

Well, we’re not going to see Hamlet.

What’s your point?

Also that’s just a dick move. These guys really do mean well. They’re just bad. No reason to embarrass them in front of everyone.

Oh, fine. Spoil-sport.

Do you even know what the play is?

No clue.

How do you get through life paying so little attention?

Eh. You know. Stuff.

Really? Stuff?

Mmm.

The play is called Knowing is Half the Tinky Winky!

It’s a play combining G.I. Joe with Telletubbies?

Yup. So we’re going?

Oh yes!
