COOKIE

 

Wow.  Only half an hour to go.  Where is everybody?  Doesn't matter, I guess.  I don't really want to do this anyway.  Hey maybe, maybe I could sabatoge the show!  Then they would never make me act again.  Probably these aliens, they would hate me and banish me back to Earth!

 

(COOKIE scurries off L, and PEOPLE start xing the stage from both sides.)

GUY:

 

I FOUND MY HAT THAT'S MOSTLY GRAY

 

ROO:

 

YOU KNOW, IN THAT, YOU LOOK SO GAY.

 

(Author's note:  I think this is hilarious, coming from someone who is later found out to be heterophobic.  As though she has a problem with someone looking gay.  Unless she means gay as in happy.  Maybe she has a problem with happy looking hats.)

 

GUY:

 

THAT'S WHAT I AM ANYWAY

BESIDES, IN THAT, YOU LOOK CLICHE!

 

(ALTERITIVLY)
