ANOTHER DRINK? BY JEFFREY LO (DOWNLOAD PDF HERE)

TRAV and SANDY at a bar.

They aren’t there together.

There is some space between them.

SANDY: Thanks for the drink.

TRAV: Of course.

SANDY cheers TRAV from afar.

They both take the shot.

TRAV takes out his wallet.

TRAV: Have another.

SANDY: Oh, no thank you.

TRAV: It’s on me.

SANDY: I really shouldn’t.

TRAV: Are you sure?

SANDY: Yes.

TRAV: Are you sure?

SANDY: … yes.

TRAV: But –

SANDY: Yes.

TRAV: You’ll have the drink?

SANDY: No!

TRAV: But you said yes.

SANDY: What is wrong with you?

TRAV: I just want to buy you a drink.

SANDY: You already bought me a drink,

TRAV: And I want to buy you another.

SANDY: No thank you.

TRAV: But –

SANDY: No. Thank you.

TRAV: But –

SANDY: NO. THANK. YOU.

TRAV: But –

SANDY: NO!!!!!

Magically, a drink is in SANDY’s hand.

She sees it. 

She screams.

While screaming, she throws the drink in TRAV’s face.

SANDY runs out of the bar screaming.

END OF PLAY.
