Context

Text

      Eileen goes to the bathroom. Linda sees her and excuses herself from her friends. She meets Eileen outside the bathroom in the back of the bar.

Linda. Hey. How are you Eileen?

Eileen. I’m fine. What are you up to Linda?

Linda. I noticed that you were looking at me in the park.

Eileen. Oh really? Did I bother you?

      Linda gets closer and starts playing with Eileen’s hair.

Linda. Not at all. I’m glad you were watching me. It turned me on.

Eileen looks around to see if anyone is watching, then puts her head down. Linda gently picks her head up and looks in her eyes. Eileen starts breathing heavily

Eileen. I’m not sure I’m ready for this. My dad was a preacher and I’ve always had to suppress these feelings.

Linda. You’re safe with me

           Linda moves to kiss her. Eileen sees Jan and Ted coming. Eileen breaks away and walks back in the bar. Linda follows her. Even though no one saw anything, Eileen is terrified to lose her new friends. Everyone can now  see Linda and Eileen. 

Linda. Eileen, don’t leave. I just want to get to know you better.

Eileen. Get to know me better? Why? (she looks at Ted, Jan and Joey) I don’t want to get to know you better.

Linda. That’s not the impression I just got from you.

        Eileen slaps Linda. Ted, Jan and Joey pull her away. Stephen, Ann and Donna check on Linda. Song starts. Linda takes lead. Then Eileen. All friends join in with a West Side Story feel.
