ENID:

What about me? Am I not even here?

TODD:

Oh, hey Enid...

(starting over)

So... we finally made it!

REBECCA:

Yep.

TODD:

(awkward pause)

So... where are you going to college?

ENID:

(before Rebecca can

answer)

We're not.

TODD:

Really? Both of you?... Why not?

ENID:

Just because.

REBECCA:

We have other plans.

TODD:

I guess I should have figured that

you two would do something different.

ENID:

What are you going to be when you

grow up, Todd?

TODD:

Well I'm going to major in Business

Administration and, I think, minor

in Communications.

ENID:

See, that's exactly the kind of thing

we're trying to avoid.

(pause)

Todd starts to talk again but Enid has noticed something off

to the side.

TODD:

So... I --

Enid grabs Rebecca and turns her away from Todd before he

can finish his sentence.

ENID:

Oh my god, look! Is Stacy Himmler

going out with Rod Harbaugh?

REBECCA:

How perfect.

ENID:

He better watch out or he'll get

AIDS when he date-rapes her.

Todd, forgotten, walks away. The singer wails a sappy, maudlin

ballad. Enid spots DENNIS, the class loser, wandering around

by himself.

ENID:

God, just think, we'll never see

Dennis again.
