ACT I

Scene 1

After being dumped by high school sweetheart
during the Breakup Cruise, GIRL is being taken
care of by two counselors from the cruise. She is
listening to them previous to setting an
appointment for group therapy.

COUNSELOR 1
We are here for you. Just like Jason said you are in
the right place to be taken care of.

COUNSELOR 2
He planned this in advance so you wouldn’t suffer, who
does that? That means that somehow you are an important
person in his life.
COUNSELOR 1
And you should feel special, some other guy would’ve
just break up with you and take a cruise with his new
girlfriend, instead he brought you here and will go on
another cruise later.

Counselor 2 hits Counselor 1 with his elbow.

COUNSELOR 2
He’s kidding of course. We’ll take care of you. You are
a beautiful, vibrant woman in her late thirties. The
thirties are the new twenties.

GIRL
But I’m 29.

Counselor 1 take a clipboard with a form to take
notes, then looks at Counselor 2.

COUNSELOR 1
Ok, of course you are. Changing our original plan,
she’s getting a makeover first thing in the morning and
then she’s going to the group session.

GIRL
What? What’s wrong with my look? Why would I want a
make over?

COUNSELOR 1
Well, you’ve just been dumped we need to start crossing
all the possible rea...

Counselor 2 interrupts, gives Counselor 1 a bad
look. Playing with Girl’s hair.

COUNSELOR 2
We just want to make sure you look as you feel. And
right now you just feel terrible. But it is normal,
you’ve just been dumped after so many years invested in
that relationship. But tomorrow will be a better day.
We’ll make you look pretty, prettier, then we’ll go to
the group session, and then we’ll go to a singles
mingles meeting.

Counselor 1 finishes taking notes, takes Counselor
2 aside.

COUNSELOR 1
(to Counselor 2)
Maybe we should take her with Stacey and Clinton now.

Counselor 2 slaps Counselor 1.

COUNSELOR 2
Well, you are all set. One of the counselors will wake
you up at 7 in the morning, will take you to the spa,
then to have breakfast, and then you will meet up with
the rest of the dumpees.

Counselor 1 slaps Counselor 2.

COUNSELOR 1
He meant with the other members of the group. I’ll walk
you to your room.

Counselor 1 and Girl leave towards her room.
Counselor 2 finishes gathering the paperwork and
leaves the opposite way.

Gaby, I like it!  Matt
