November 1st.
JON wakes up on a couch.
JON: Uhh…
JON looks around and looks at himself.
JON realizes he is still wearing his Halloween costume – a pirate.
JON: Landry!
LANDRY (offstage):You’re awake!
JON: Landry!
LANDRY (offstage):Yeah?
JON: Why am I still wearing my Halloween costume?
LANDRY (offstage):Because you never took it off.
JON: Very funny.
LANDRY (offstage):What’s funny? It’s true.
JON: Why didn’t I take it off last night?
LANDRY (offstage):I don’t know.
JON: Why don’t you know?
LANDRY (offstage):I didn’t ask.
JON: Ugh, you’re not helpful.
LANDRY (offstage):I believe I am helpful. You slept on my couch. Without me, you’re sleeping on a sidewalk or something.
JON: Whatever…
LANDRY (offstage):Anyway, Halloween is over, and we gotta get going! It’s a new month!
JON: Get going where?
LANDRY (offstage):Halloween is over!
JON: So…
LANDRY (offstage):Hey Jon, come over here. Come check this out.
JON groans.
LANDRY (offstage):Come on Jon! Come check this out.
JON stands up and makes his way to where LANDRY is.
JON sees LANDRY.
JON: What the…
LANDRY (offstage):Like it?
JON: Already?
LANDRY (offstage):What do you mean already?
JON: It’s November 1st.
LANDRY (offstage):Exactly!
JON: I’m still in a Halloween costume!
LANDRY (offstage):You’re the one that’s late, buddy.
JON: This is ridiculous…
JON starts making his to the couch.
JON: It is not time for this.
LANDRY (offstage):Yeah it is!
JON: No it’s not.
LANDRY emerges wearing full on Christmas garb.
Like… intense Christmas garb.
JON: You look insane.
LANDRY: It’s the holiday season!
JON lets out a sigh.
Blackout.
END OF PLAY.
