Never Been Kissed Page #2

JOSIE:

You did. Yesterday you said, and I

quote, "I have a date with Roger

from Op/Ed tonight and I'm going

to do it with him."

ANITA:

Well, that doesn't mean it was

going to happen for sure.

Josie just stares at her.

ANITA:

Once it didn't happen for sure.

Gus Strauss, late 30's, would probably clean up well,

enters. He tosses some copy onto Josie's desk.

GUS:

Computer's down. Septuplets story.

I need it back by five. Hopefully

the copy's not a mess.

JOSIE:

(emphasizing)

It is hoped that it's not a mess.

"Hopefully" is an adverb. It means

"with hope". You have it defining

the copy, and I'm pretty sure the

copy doesn't have feelings.

Gus and Anita just stare at Josie.

JOSIE:

Well, excuse me for caring about

words.

GUS:

(to Anita)

So. You and Roger in Op/Ed.

ANITA:

Oh, man! Who told?

GUS:

Roger in Op/Ed. Don't make me send

you another memo about my policy

on inter-office dating.

JOSIE:

Intra office. And they're not

dating. They're having sex.

ANITA:

And what is your policy? That if

you're not getting any, no one

can?

Anita flounces off.

GUS:

How many times have I fired her?

JOSIE:

Five-- Six--

GUS:

(shrugging, giving

up)

Eh.

Gus turns to exit.
