Hillary sits at the window. Sean takes the seat beside her.
Sean: So how’d it go with your lover boy the other night?
Hillary: I don’t know what you’re talking about.
Sean: He said no, didn’t he.
Hillary: I still don’t know what you’re talking about.
Sean: Did he show you his “thing”? (chuckles)
Hillary turns to the window, ignoring him.
Sean: I hear he likes showing it off.
Hillary continues to ignore him.
Sean: What’s his stupid name again?
Hillary:(snapping at him) It’s Jake, and it’s none of your business!
Sean: He said no. I knew it!
Hillary: Go fuck yourself.
Sean: I think you’re the one who needs the fu…
Hillary: FUCK OFF!
Sean: Oooh, touchy! All right. Fine. I’ll back off. (looks to the front of the bus) Hey, look who’s getting on!
Hillary: (sits up straight and sees a mother and daughter: strangers, boarding the bus) Fuck off. (she pushes him out of the seat as he doubles up laughing) Asshole.
Saturday, October 21st, 7:00pm
Hillary (and Sean)(and Drommen)
Hillary sits at the window. Sean takes the seat beside her.
Sean: Hey.
Hillary stares out the window.
Sean: What the fuck’s up with you lately?
Hillary: Nothin’
Sean: You’re still waitin’ for that creepy guy?
Hillary: He’s not creepy. He’s nice.
Sean: What’s his name?
Hillary: Whatever. Jake. Whatever.
Sean: Yeah well, I heard he likes to expose himself on the bus.
Hillary:(turns to him) Who told you that?
Sean:(shrugs) Does it matter? The guy’s a creep.
Hillary rests her head against the window and looks out.
Sean: What do you say we just go get fucked up?
Hillary: Not interested.
Sean: Suit yourself. But don’t go whinin’ to me if he asks … Hey, isn’t that him? (points at Drommen, boarding the bus)
Hillary:(sits up straight) Yeah.
Sean:(mockingly) Should I leave the two of you alone? Maybe he’ll show you his wiener.
Hillary: Maybe you’re a wiener.
Drommen, carrying a grocery bag, walks up the aisle and stops in front of Sean.
Drommen:(to Hillary) Hi, Jessica.
Sean:(looks up at Drommen) Hey, asshole.
Drommen holding his hands behind his back, leans down and says something in Sean’s ear. Sean gets up and moves to the rear of the bus, and Drommen takes his seat.
Hillary: What did you say to him?
Drommen:(holds open his bag for her to look inside) I just offered him a sausage.
Hillary: I guess he’s not on the bus tonight. He’s usually here.
Sean:(rubs his palms together) Guess it’s just you and me then.
Hillary: Where’s your girlfriend tonight.
Sean: I dumped her ass.
Hillary:(raises eyebrows) Really? You guys seemed so tight the night we …
Sean: The night we all got into bed together? Yeah. She was getting tired of it. Started bitching at me that all I wanted to do was bring other chicks home. Fuck that shit.
Hillary stares into space.
Sean: Sooo what about it? You and me?
Hillary: You and me what?
Sean: I dunno. What do you say you and me go and find somewhere to get cozy?
Hillary: Just you and me?
Sean:(looks around) I don’t see anybody else.
Hillary:(stares down at her hands) Maybe we’d better wait for my friend … Barry or Jake or whatever his name is.
Sean: What the fuck? Don’t you want to be alone with me?
Hillary frowns at him, thinking.
Sean: I’ve got some wicked shit. Wanna get fucked up at least?
