SCENE 1

JACK is on his laptop sitting at a table in a


closed room. KATIE enters.

JACK
Hey.

She greets JACK with a forced smile and sits


down. She takes out her laptop.

KATIE
How goes your...uh...your thing?

JACK
My thing?

KATIE
Yeah. Didnt you say you had a project or something that you were complaining about?

JACK
My moms surgery?

KATIE
Sure.

JACK
Yeah, went great. Do you have notes from class today?

KATIE
You didnt take them?

JACK
Why would I ask you for the...nevermind.

A long pause.

KATIE
Wheres the rest of our group?

No response.

KATIE

JACK
I dont know. Maybe getting lunch.

KATIE
Ew. So annoying.

JACK
Yep.

Katie goes on her phone for a little bit.

KATIE
Should we just get started.

JACK
I think Im going to get a snack from downstairs, but you knock yourself out.

He exits.

KATIE
Asshole.
(under her breath as she types on the
computer)
Asshole. Asshole. Asssssshooolleee.
(sings softly)
Asshooooollleeee.

She checks the time and looks in her bag and


pulls out a bag of cheez-its. It has one or two left
that she pours into her mouth. She stares at the
empty bag with a couple of cheez-its in her
mouth.

KATIE
Goddammit.

She exits.
