(We hear someone fumbling with keys. A door opens and a couple stumbles in and one of them flips a light switch and the lights come on. We see a Jimmy and Christine enter making out, fumbling with removing jackets.)
JIMMY (while kissing)
You are amazing.
CHRISTINE (while kissing)
Shut…up…
(They continue kissing.)
JIMMY (while kissing)
Two strangers meet in a bar-
CHRISTINE (while kissing)
Seriously, Jimmy.
JIMMY
I’m just so excited.
(Christine is about to say something and we hear a baby cry off stage.)
CHRISTINE
Your turn.
(Jimmy exits. Christine gets her self a beer. Jimmy re-enters carrying a baby.)
JIMMY
Hey, Buddy…It’s good. We’re good. This is fun.
CHRISTINE
Yeah. Fun. Being strangers meeting at a bar was supposed to spice things up.
JIMMY
I thought it did. I had a lot of fun. And now we get to play house.
(The doorbell rings. Christine opens the door and Anna comes in.)
ANNA
Hey, can I have my baby back? We’re ready for bed.
JIMMY
Sure, sure. Here you go.
(He hands the baby to Anna)
ANNA
Hey, there, Hank. How ya’ doing’? Oh, you’re such a good boy. How was role-playing night?
CHRISTINE
I think we tried too many things at once. One night stand with strangers, young couple having post-baby sex-
ANNA
Keith and I just get naked and have sex. It’s fun. Have a good night.
(She exits.)
JIMMY
Want to just get naked?
CHRISTINE
That seems so straightforward. We could play divorced couple.
JIMMY
And have massive angry reconciliation sex? Kinky.
CHRISITNE (taking out phone)
I’ll call the lawyers.
(Blackout.)
