The Big Kahuna Page #2

Synopsis: On the last evening of a convention two seen-it-all industrial lubricant salesmen and a youngster from the research department gather in the hotel's hospitality suite to host a delegates party.

Jesus Christ!

Bob, can you believe this?

-It looks okay to me.

-That's exactly my point. You don't know anything.

No offense, but how many of these

things have you been to?

-Just one.

-This one, right?

-Yeah.

-Yeah, that's what I thought.

Who knows, Phil?

Maybe we'll get lucky...

and everyone that walks through the door

tonight will be a first-timer like Bob.

Is there a problem?

No.

There's no problem.

Oh, catching up on your technical

reading there, Phil?

Mind your own business,

Larry.

I'm not condemning.

I'm just saying I noticed.

You should have seen the girl

that sat next to me on the plane.

-Pretty?

-I should say so. And built.

And... wearing

a business suit.

That's right. You like 'em

in business suits.

There's something about a woman

in a business suit that drives me wild.

It's as if they'rev all tied up

in this neat little package...

Just waiting for someone to come along

and pull the cord that sets everything free.

A woman in a business suit

is my idea of art.

What about you, Bob? What kind of

woman's attire gets your motor running?

-I'm sure I couldn't tell you.

-No favorites, huh?

Uh, I try not

to think about it.

You try not?

I- I'm married.

Of course you're married. We're all

married. Even Phil was married at one time.

I'm just asking you in which direction

your tastes run.

I... I don't know.

Oh.

Let me, uh, ask you a question there, Bob,

seriously.

-What's that?

-Are you gay?

-Larry!

-What? I'm just asking.

He seems to be missing one of the fundamental

characteristics of the American male,

which I could understand if you were...

you know... but you're not.

Aren't you married?

I just see no reason to let my eyes

go wandering when God's...

given me a wonderful woman

to be my wife.

Oh, I see.

You're a spiritual man.

-That's a part of it.

-So do they blind you when you get saved?

Jesus said if you look at a woman with lust,

it's the same as committing adultery.

He did?

He must have never seen a woman in

a business suit. If He had, who knows?

We might have a different kind of religion,

one where lusting is a sacrament.

Hey! I thought you weren't interested

in my hors d'oeuvres.

I'm just tasting, Phil.

I'm not actually partaking.

I'm just gonna make sure

that nobody's gonna gag.

Well, don't eat

the whole thing up.

-You know why you're here, don't you, Bob?

-No. Not exactly.

Jesus Christ. No wonder this company

is spiralling into the sh*t can.

-You're here for cosmetic purposes.

-What do you mean?

You're here

to represent research.

Technical support.

The brains of the company.

-Me?

-Absolutely.

-But I don't have that much experience.
