Joey. Now that was fun! (beat) I have to take a piss.
Jan. Dude really!! Just say excuse me you idiot.
Ted. ( laughing) You really are an idiot!
Joey gets up and hits Ted on the arm as he leaves. Ted keeps laughing. Joey sees Eileen sitting in the corner of the bar and walks toward her.
Joey. Hey there sexy. I’m Joey.
Eileen. Look, I’m really not in the mood. It’s not you.(beat) Well, it’s a little bit you, but it’s mostly me. Could you just keep walking please?
Joey. (drops his head) Okay. (starts to walk away)
Eileen. Hey (grabs his arm) I’m sorry. If you’d just like to talk, I’m happy to talk with you. I’m Eileen
Joey. Thank you Eileen. I don’t believe I’ve seen you before. Are you from out of town?
Eileen. Yes, I just moved from Texas. My mom and I needed a new start. By the way, I love the song you guys sang. Pretty radical!
Joey. You’ve never heard it before? It’s getting pretty popular.
Eileen. No. My dad is a preacher and he only plays gospel music in the house. But he left us, so I’m going to catch up with the music scene now.
Joey. Sorry to hear that.
Jan and Ted walk up to Joey and Eileen
Ted. Hey dude, you said you were going to the bathroom but here you are talking to pretty girls.
Jan. Yea Joey, you liar! ( they laugh) So I’m Jan and this is Ted.
Eileen. Hi Jan and Ted, are you guys a couple?
Ted. I wish.
Jan. Ha Ha, no just friends.
Joey. He’s working on it though. (Ted laughs and puts Joey in a head lock-jokingly) Hey, Eileen is new in town. Maybe she’d like to hang with us in the park.
Eileen. The park? Is that where you hang out together?
Ted. Yea, we just hang out there and listen to music and talk. Other groups of people hang out there too. It’s something to do in this small town.
Jan. Good idea. We’d love to have you around. I know I’m tired of just hanging around with these 2 idiots. (they laugh)
Eileen. Sure. That sounds like fun!
Eileen, Ted, Jan and Joey all leave the club together
