What’d you do over the weekend?

2
Nothing.

1
Really?

2
Yeah.

1
Absolutely nothing?

2
Yeah.

(Beat.)

1
You sure?

2
(Irritated)
Yes.

(Beat.)

2
How about you?

1
Oh, just the usual, you know.

2
Meaning?

1
A few dozen hookers and a cubic foot of blow.

(Pause.)

2
So nothing?

1
Yup.

(Beat.)

1
The other way sounds better though.

2
Yeah.

1
More interesting.

2
Got a nice ring to it too.

1
Indeed it does.

(Beat.)

You just can’t beat hookers and blow.

2
Nope, you certainly can’t.

1
Indeed.

(Beat.)

2
We’re very strange people.

1
Indeed.

(Blackout.)
