FADE IN:
INTERIOR PARTY HOUSE - NIGHT
An apartment with a party going.
To one side, a folding table sits full of food and beers being picked at by party goers.
To the other side, an L shaped containing GEORGE, 20’s, handsome, and TINA, 20’s pretty, holding a plate full of saucy wings, and others.
TINA
Oh God George, I know! I once dated this guy who would constantly take his shirt off for no good reason. Out in public, at home, whenever.
GEORGE
Oh, that’s nothing. I took a girl out to this fancy restaurant called Geoffry’s. Cloth napkins. Hor’s Dourves, the whole nine. I was so embarrassed, her whole face was covered in Barbecue sauce! Not just a little spot on her chin. No. It was all over the lower half of her face. Dripping off her. I couldn’t believe it! Doesn’t she own a mirror? What an undatable mess! I told her I was going to the bathroom, and I just ditched her.
Sitting on the couch as well, with her back turned to them is A beautiful woman with BBQ SAUCE FACE. She slowly turns around, in the process of eating a chicken wing.
BBQ SAUCE FACE
What!? George?!
GEORGE
Oh my god! It’s you!
BBQ SAUCE FACE
WHY DIDN’T YOU JUST TELL ME? AUGH! It’s not my fault!
George is horrified and paralyzed.
GEORGE
(to Tina)
It’s her! You see?
BBQ Sauce Face breaks into hysteric crying.
BBQ SAUCE FACE
My Mother is right. Isn’t she? I’m never going to have children and I’m a failure.
Sobbing, she bites into the wings. Sauce all over her face. A chunky man turns around from the food table.
SHIRT GUY
Hey. Oh man. Are you okay?
BBQ SAUCE FACE
(Blubbering)
Nuh... No
SHIRT GUY
You have BBQ sauce all over your face. Uh...Here...
Tina (to George) Oh come on.
Shirt guy takes his shirt off and wipes BBQ Girls’ tears and BBQ away.
SHIRT GUY
It’s alright. Don’t be so sad.
BBQ SAUCE FACE
Nobody will ever date me. I’m un-dateable.
SHIRT GUY
Yea. I know what you mean.
He puts his arm around her and they walk off camera.
GEORGE
Seriously?! That was so ridiculous.
Tina takes a chomp of wings from her plate and gets sauce all over her face.
TINA
Right?
GEORGE
I... Uh.. I have to go to the bathroom.
BLACK OUT.
