LIVING ROOM, AT A HOUSE

PEOPLE IS HALF DRUNK

THE THREE OF THEM ENTER THE STAGE

Jimena: [Points at drunk people] This is why we had to come earlier

Ana: huh?

Jimena: They've drink all the alcohol and there is nothing left for us

Ana: So?

Jimena: So?! This is the most important step if you want to fuck Joseph

Ana: I don't want to fuck him

Jimena: Fuck, date. The same thing at the end

Ana: So why do I need to be drunk?

Jimena: The most likely, you get fucked ... I meant, the most likely Joseph is gonna look at you,

Ana: Oh, ok

A young woman, around the same age of them crosses the stage. It is clear that she is drunk

David: Mary...

Ana: [looking around] Drink it up [Takes a half full Vodka bottle of a table]

David: [Grabs the Bottle] Ok [Drinks all the content]

Ana: Wuuu!!

David: [Raising the bottle with her hand] Wuuu!!

David leaves the stage, following Sandy

Jimena and Ana sit on a coach

Jimena: Let's play 'I bet you'

Ana: I'm not in the mood

Jimena: Why?

Ana: I dressed up for Joseph, and God knows where he is

Jimena: You just came, we've been here for a minute more or less

Ana: Still, this was supposed to be the night in which Joseph & I finally start a relationship

Jimena: What the fuck Ana, last time I checked you were barely dating to him

Ana: [Looks at Jimena with bewilderment] We've been in a relationship since we went together to James's party

Jimena: Why I wasn't aware of that?

Ana: But I've told you...

Jimena: ... Oh ... yeah right

Ana: [Laughs] Where have you been?

Jimena: I have no clue

Ana: [Laughs] I can see that

Pause

Jimena: Let's take some shots

Ana: I'm in the mood for that

Jimena: YAS! let's fucking do it

Jimena and Ana go to a near by countertop , grab a tequila bottle and start pouring the first round of shots

Jimena: Brindemos,

Ana: For our ever lasting friendship

They drink a toast. Pour a second round of shots

Jimena: For David, that hopefully he can hook up with Mary—

Ana: —And he can finally forget that bitch once and for all

Jimena: [British accent] Cheers for that mate!

They drink up a toast. Pour a third round of shots

Ana: Another one, for Relationships!

Jimena: For James & I

Ana: For Joseph & I

Jimena: [Laughs to herself] If you want ...

They toast, and drink up. Pour a fourth round of shots

Jimena: For Joseph ...

Ana: ... For my Joseph

Jimena: Suyo dice ... [laughs to herself]

Ana: What was that supposed to mean?

Jimena: Nothing [drinks her shot]

Ana: [drinks her shot] Oh, really?

Jimena: I just think that you and Joseph is never going to happen

Jimena pours a shot to herself and to Ana

Ana: Oh, really? Why is that? [drinks shot]

Jimena: Just a humble opinion

Ana: Where does that humble opinion comes from?

Jimena: You're too prude for Joseph [drinks shot]

Pours a fifth round of shots

Ana: Oh, really? Just because I'm not a whore, doesn't mean I'm prude

Jimena: [Laughs] Looks like someone is taking out her claws

Ana: God! I wish to punch you in the face so much right now!

Jimena: Then do it

Ana: I'm a lady, I don't do that

Jimena: A lady? more like a nun

Ana: You are being mean

Jimena: Uh poor baby, she can't handle the truth

Ana: No! every time you are mean to me, it means that something is bothering you

Jimena: Make a wild guess [drinks shot]

Ana drinks her shot, and pours the sixth round

Ana: Are you a lesbian?

Jimena: No ... Why does that had to be bothering me anyway?

Ana: 'cuz maybe you are in love with me [drinks shot]

Jimena: Ew, no way!

Ana: Just a wild guess

Jimena: Two out of three opportunities left

Ana: Oh, really? let's see

Jimena: Time is ticking!

Ana: David rejected you, after you told him how you felt?

Jimena: Ew, why he would reject me anyway? I'm perfect

Ana: Well maybe he is back with Mary

Jimena: Dios no lo permita! That would be catastrophic!

Ana: Do you actually love David? [concerned]

Jimena: Not in a million years; Two things, first: Ew! Second: David loves you to the moon and back, él te adora! [drinks shot]

Ana: Really? [smiles]

Jimena: Yes!

Jimena pours the seventh round

Jimena: Last chance to win!

Ana: Does James dumped you? [drinks shot]

Jimena: No ... I wish ... Well time's up!

Ana: What is the correct answer?

Jimena: I have been sleeping with Joseph this whole time

Ana: [Laughs] That's it? Come on, you can lie so much better!

Jimena: I'm not lying, God I wish I was [drinks shot]

Ana: How could you?

Ana goes back and fourth through the stage, trying to digest the situation. Moments later Ana pours a shot to herself and to Jimena

Ana: Let's play 'I bet you'

Jimena: What are you betting? [drinks shot]

Ana: I bet you that ... I bet you that I'll lose my virginity to Joseph [drinks shot]... Tonight

Jimena: I don't think that's a good idea... Ana! Wait!

Ana runs off the stage, Jimena tries to follow her but she can't. Jimena starts to call David, she also searches David in the stage

Jimena: Fucking David, Contesta! [calling and looking around]

David gets on stage

David: What do you want? I was busy. It better be important

Jimena: Ana is drunk and about to lose her virginity

David: Fuck, Where did she went?

Jimena: I don't fucking know, if I knew I fucking tell you!

David: Well, we have to fucking find her, before its to fucking late

David gets off stage. Jimena continues to look around. Ana appears. Ana is clearly drunk

Jimena: How was your night?

Ana: [Exaggerated sad face] Horrible

Jimena: Why?

Ana: I've been searching for Joseph all night

Jimena: ... Oh, Still no clue of him?

Ana: It's early. I'm not losing [Dancing in her place]

Jimena: We are not playing Ana

Ana: [Rolls eyes] Who is the prude now?

Random song plays

Ana: Oh my God! I love this song! [goes to the middle of the stage and starts to dance]

Jimena: Stop!

A young man crosses the middle stage, with a bottle of tequila

Ana: [Tries to grab the bottle]... Oh, I wanted that [Exaggerated sad face]

Jimena: We need to talk!

Ana: [Rolls eyes] About what?

Jimena: About Joseph

Ana: [Excited] Did you find him?

Jimena: No, just [drags her to the coach] sit

Ana: [Rolls eyes] You are being annoying, What's wrong?

Jimena: Joseph ... and I

Ana: [Rolls eyes] What about that?

Jimena: We've been sleeping together, por Dios reacciona!

Ana: What do you want me to say? [Burst into tears]

Jimena: I don't know, just stay away from him, please

Ana: [Crying] You stay way from my boyfriend, you lying slut

Jimena: Joseph is lying!

Ana: [Crying] Stop talking to me!

Jimena: No! Ana, you need to listen to me

Ana: [Rolls eyes] What for? Do you want to beg for my forgiveness, well guess what? I'm not giving it to you!

Pause

Ana: Why are you still here?

Jimena: There's more you need to know

Ana: Shut up. I don't want to hear your shit

Jimena: It's extremely important

Ana: I don't care, you are officially irrelevant to me

Ana tries to get up, but she is to drunk to maintain stability

Jimena: Wait [Grabs Ana's arm]

Ana: [lets go of Jimena] Leave alone you lying skank

This time Ana tries to get up, succeeding and leaving the stage

LIVING ROOM, AT SAME HOUSE

Hours later; David and Jimena on stage, searching for Ana

David: What happened? I though she was with you

Jimena: Ya te había dicho. She left

David: Where?

Jimena: God knows where!

David: Jimena, we must find Ana before she—

Jimena: —Before she opens her legs

David: What was the last time you saw her?

Jimena: I've told you a thousand times. We were here at the coach, she got furious, and left

David: Why?

Jimena: Joseph

David: What did he do?

Pause

Jimena: I told her

David: Why would you do that?

Jimena: I don't know... I had too

David: What difference does it makes? You've been having sex with Joseph without Ana's knowledge. What difference does it made? Are you happy now?

Jimena: I just though...

Pause

David: Well smart pants? What do we do now?

Jimena: Try to stop Ana, before she do something stupid

David: Good idea Sherlock, How do we do that?

Jimena: Ok, let's split. You go that way [pointing stage right] and I go that way [pointing stage left]

David: I'll stay here, in case she comes back

Jimena: I'll go to Joseph's room

David: Do you know where is that?

Jimena: I've been here a couple of times

David: [Judges her with his gaze] Go, the faster. The better

Jimena gets off stage, David sits in the coach while Ana enters the stage. Ana sees David, starts to avoid him for a while. David sees her, and slowly approaches Ana

David: How was your night?

Ana: [Looking at the void] Good, and yours?

David: Good [hold her hand and walks her to the coach]

David sits on the coach, and Ana follows him automatically

David: You look pretty tonight

Ana: Thanks

David: What have you done all night?

Ana: [Looking at the void] I've— I've— I've been searching for Joseph all night

David: Did you find him?

Ana: [Shakes her head] no

David: Are you sure?

Ana: [Looking at the void] I'm pretty sure

Pause

David: Where have you been? [comes close to Ana]

Ana: [Distance herself from David] Around

David: Around where? [holds her hand]

Ana: [Looking at the void] Just around...

David: I've been worried about you

Ana: [removes of her hand, from David's hand] Why?

David: We haven't see you in forever

Ana: It's a party

David: Still

Ana: I'm fine [Looking at the void]

Pause

David: Around where? [hold her hand]

Ana: Just around...

David: I've been worried about you

Ana: I know

David: You look different

Ana: What do you mean by that?

David: You are cold

Ana: I cannot be happy all the time

David: No, Like actually cold... You are freezing

Ana: It's December what did you expect?

David: Yeah, but the house is about 90º

Ana: How would you know?

David: I checked the thermostat

Ana: [Laughs] Of course you did!

David: [Laughs] What's that supposed to mean ?

Ana: Every time you come to my apartment you check the thermostat... [smiles]

David: What's wrong with that? [smiles]

Ana: [Laughs] Nothing, is just something you do,

David: [Laughs] I though you didn't notice

Ana: Oh I notice [smiles] You change it to 90º

David: [Laughs] I'm so sorry

Ana: [Laughs] Its fine, is just your way of showing control

David: Control?

Ana: You are kinda of a control freak

David: I'm not! [smiles]

Ana: [Laughs] Yes, yes you are [smiles]

David: [Smiles] No, I'm not [Starts to tickle Ana]

Ana: [Burst in laugher] Stop! is not funny [Burst in laugher] I mean it [Burst in laugher]

David: [Continues to tickle Ana] Say it!

Ana: [Burst in laugher] I'm sorry!

David: [Continues to tickle Ana] For what?

Ana: [Burst in laugher] You are not a control freak [Burst in laugher]

David: [Stops to tickle Ana] That's better

Pause

Ana: [Tired] Admit it [smiles]

David: [Smiles] Admit what?

Ana: That you are actually a control freak [smiles]

David: [Rolls eyes] Fine, but you still love me [smiles]

Ana: [Comes closer to David] In fact I do [Holds his hand, and start to explore his arm] What does this mean?

David: [Smiles] What? [Looks her in the eyes] This? Us?

Ana: [Smiles] No silly, I mean this [points at a tattoo, in his arm] What does "Amicitia" mean

David: Oh, Amicitia is Latin for Friendship. Jimena has the same one in her butt

Ana: Why haven't I've got one?

David: Oh, because we didn't known each other them [smiles]

Pause

David: What's going on Ana?

Ana: David is an asshole

David: I've known that, ever since I was born

Ana: Oh my God no! [Laughs] Meant Joseph [rests her head on his shoulder] You are the nicest guy in the planet

David: You are the nicest thing that will ever happen to me, I swear to God...

Ana: [Smiles] Thank you

David: If I had the chance I...

Ana: What would you do?

David: [Rests his head on her head] If I had the chance I'll love you until the end of times

Jimena gets on stage, she is worried and is searching for Ana.

Jimena: I'm glad to see you...

Ana: [Looks at Jimena with Disdain] What do you want?

Jimena: I saw Joseph passed out in his bed. I'll though that maybe you and Joseph ...

Ana: Me and Joseph what? Slept together? Well, Guess what? We did, and it was fantastic

Ana is about to cry, but no one seems to notice

Jimena: Ana, Are you serious?

Ana: Why wouldn't I? After all he is my boyfriend [Burst into tears] You were supposed to be my best friend!

Jimena: [Burst into tears] I know, and I feel terrible, I'm the worst person in the world!

Ana: They were all right about you, I've should have listen... Does James even? ... well he'll love to hear it. Does it was even worth it? Because let me tell you, he is not that great [crying]

Jimena: I don't even know what I saw on that jerk [crying]

Ana: You are such a hypocrite, I can see it in your eyes[crying]

Jimena: What? [crying]

Ana: You fucking love him![crying]

Jimena: It was just sex! [crying]

Ana: Shut Up! You are not allowed to talk to me [crying]

Pause

Ana: Why would you do that to me? [crying]

Jimena: 'Cuz I'm lying skank [crying]

Ana: Yes... Yes you are [crying]

Jimena: What?

Ana: After all these years! All the gossip, and how they called you a hoe behind your back. I fucking defended you! Who took care of you after the STD? It was fucking me! When you got pregnant, who was there for you? Fucking Me! Because Mr. Oliver didn't wanted to see you! Who persuaded his wife to pay for the abortion? Fucking Me!

David: Have you been pregnant twice?

Ana: No just once... Twice? [Look at Jimena's stomach] Twice?!

Jimena: I'm sorry! [crying]

Ana: You are a whoree! [crying and shouting]

Jimena: I'm so sorry! [crying]

Ana: David did you knew? [crying]

David: About what?

Ana: Don't play games with me! Did you knew about this all along? [crying]

David: I... [looks at the floor]

Ana: You fucking knew! [crying] You are an asshole! [starts to kick and punching at him]

David: What was I supposed to do? [He let himself hit, hugged her]

Ana: You are both dead to me [crying]

David: Ana, I Lov—

Ana: —I don't give a fuck [crying]

Ana leaves the stage crying.

Mary enters the stage and seduces David, they both leave the stage.

Jimena is sitting on the floor all by herself,
