ASHLEY
Are you smoking?
BRYAN
Are you peeing?
ASHLEY
It’s a bathroom.
BRYAN
Exactly.
ASHLEY
Since when did you start smoking?
BRYAN
Thirty-two years after you started peeing.
ASHLEY
You’re only twenty eight.
BRYAN
Exactly.
ASHLEY and BRYAN
Whatever.
ASHLEY
(Yelling off)
I”m in the bathroom!
BRYAN
Marcus?
ASHLEY
(to BRYAN) Always.
(To Marcus) Peeing! Geeze.
BRYAN
How is Marky Mark?
ASHLEY
Insane. I-I don’t know. Maybe I’m insane, I don’t know.
BRYAN
What do you mean you don’t know?
ASHLEY
The more time we spend together, it’s like, I don’t know.
BRYAN
What don’t you know?
ASHLEY
Him. I mean it’s like, the more time I spend with him the more I know that, or I think I-I don’t know that I really know Marcus.
BRYAN
It’s been five years Ashley.
ASHLEY
It’s been three months. Of only Marcus. And only me. I don’t know. Where’s David?
BRYAN
At a protest.
ASHLEY
For racial injustice?
BRYAN
For white guilt.
ASHLEY
And you don’t have that?
BRYAN
I have shame and it doesn’t have anything to do with being white.
ASHLEY
What’s the difference between guilt and shame?
BRYAN
You’d have to ask my parents.
ASHLEY
I thought you don’t talk to them.
BRYAN
Asking a question is barely talking.
ASHLEY
Right. Look, I need a favor.
BRYAN
Sure. Shoot.
ASHLEY
I need to stay over.
BRYAN
We’re in a pandemic Ashley.
ASHLEY
And so I need you now more than ever.
(to Marcus) I’m peeing!
(To Bryan) Can I stay at yours for a few days?
BRYAN
Ashley-
ASHLEY
Ok for one night?
BRYAN
Ashley-
ASHLEY
I’ll sleep on the floor.
BRYAN
No you won’t.
ASHLEY
Well you have a queen.
BRYAN
And I also have David.
ASHLEY
Like I said, a queen.
BRYAN
A queen who isn’t giving up her spot in their bed for no one.
ASHLEY
I’ll take the couch.
BRYAN
Babes, things haven’t been so good over here with David. I don’t know.
ASHLEY
For one night. I’ll kill Marcus if I don’t get one night.
BRYAN
David wants a divorce.
ASHLEY
Bryan.
