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.
COUNSELOR1
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 apart.
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.
