Act 4, Scene 1

John Mayer and Mary Kate Olsen stand at a New York street corner having awkward conversation.

 

Mary Kate

I used to sell drugs on this corner.

 

John

That’s cool.

 

Mary Kate

Yeah.

 

John

So…do you like music?

 

Mary Kate

No.

 

John

Oh.

 

Silence.

 

John

Do you like food?

 

Mary Kate

Laughs. 

 

John

Looks around.

 

End Scene.

Act 4, Scene 2

 Lance Armstrong and Ashley Olsen sit at a cafeteria, laughing.

 

Lance

That’s the funniest thing I’ve ever heard!

 

Ashley

I know, Bob Saget is kind of an asshole.

 

Lance

And it never grew back?

 

Ashley

Note even a little!

 

Lance

Man.

 

Ashley

I know.

 

Lance

Okay, now tell me the truth.  What’s John Stamos like in real life?

 

Ashley

Oh, he’s a sweetheart.

 

Lance

I knew it!

 

Ashley

But what about you?  What is it about bicycles that you like so much?

 

Lance

I don’t know, I guess it’s something about the duality.  Two wheels, two pedals.  I’ve just always had a thing for even numbers.  That’s why this…you know, whole ordeal has been kind of rough.

 

Ashley

That’s funny, I’m the opposite.  I’ve never liked even numbers.  Maybe it’s just my response to being part of a pair for so long.  I don’t even like to wear pants, because they come in a pair.

 

Lance

It’s amazing how we’re so different, and yet I still find myself wanting to be with you.

 

Ashley

It’s amazing how you’re so old, and yet I still find myself wanting to be with you!

 

End Scene.
