INSIDE CYNTHIA'S APARTMENT, DAY



JOHN, twenty-nine, He is dressed very well, sporting real suspenders with his striped pinpoint oxford shirt and cotton suit. He fingers the wedding ring on his left hand. ANN's husband.


CYNTHIA, Ann's SISTER, opens her door to reveal the freshly coifed John. Cynthia bears a slight resemblance to Ann, but is not as overtly attractive. She does, however, have a definite carnal appeal and air of confidence that Ann lacks.


(They kiss passionately and begin to disrobe.John and Cynthia are lying in bed, bathed in sweat.)

JOHN
I've got to get back to the office.

CYNTHIA
I only get one today? Gee, how exciting.


John rolls over and begins to put his clothes on.

JOHN
I can't let my lunch hour go on too long. I've already skipped one meeting.

CYNTHIA
Don't give me this aggressive bullshit. If you want to leave, leave. My life doesn't stop when you walk out the door,you know what I'm saying?


John shakes his head.

JOHN
Why don't you just tell me how you really feel?


John stands and begins putting on his clothes.

JOHN
I have a friend coming in from out of town, I'll probably be spending some time with him the next couple of days.

CYNTHIA
Meaning we'll have to cool it for awhile, right?

JOHN
Right.


A silent shrug from Cynthia. John is almost completely dressed.

JOHN
I wish you'd quit that bartending job.

CYNTHIA
Why?

JOHN
I hate the thought of guys hitting on you all the time.

CYNTHIA
I can handle it. Besides, the money is good and some of the guys are cute. And you are in no position to be jealous.

JOHN
Who said I was jealous?

CYNTHIA
I did.




John says nothing.

CYNTHIA
You know, I'd like to try your house sometime. The idea of doing it in my sister's bed gives me a perverse thrill.



John thinks about that.

CYNTHIA
I wish I could tell everybody that Ann's a lousy lay. Beautiful, popular, Ann!

JOHN
Could be risky.

CYNTHIA
Well, maybe I could just start a rumor, then.

JOHN
No, I mean doing it at my house.

CYNTHIA
Afraid of getting caught?

JOHN
Maybe.

CYNTHIA
You should be. Can I meet this friend of yours?

JOHN
Cynthia, I don't think you want to, I mean, you should see the way he dresses. I really think he's in a bad way.

CYNTHIA
I'm intrigued.

JOHN
You're intrigued?

CYNTHIA
Sure. Maybe he's the man I'm looking for. Then I won't have to make love with worried husbands all the time!


John looks at her for a moment before heading for the door.

JOHN
Bye.
