SCENE VI
Interior: Susie's bedroom. She and
Christine are talking about the party tonight,
while Susie is shoving things into
a backpack and scurrying around the room.
SUSIE:
(thinking)
Hmm, what else should I bring ... ?
CHRISTINE:
Why don't you just bring your whole
bedroom?
SUSIE:
Don't worry about me. What are you
bringing?
CHRISTINE:
(holding up a brown paper bag)
I got everything we need. I got two
six packs of beer,
some champagne, some chips, pretzels,
and squeeze cheese.
SUSIE:
Squeeze cheese?
CHRISTINE:
Yeah. To put on the chips and pretzels.
SUSIE:
I'm sure it'll go great with champagne
and beer.
They both giggle.
CHRISTINE:
So anyway, what are you taking?
SUSIE:
I stole a bottle of wine from my parents'
liquor cabinet.
(she holds the bottle up)
And I got a forty-ounce of beer.
CHRISTINE:
Good. Then I won't be the only one
walking in, looking like
a complete alcoholic.
SUSIE:
Christine, I really appreciate you and Helen coming over
tonight. It means a lot to Jackie too.
CHRISTINE:
It's no problem. Anyway, is Alyssa
coming tonight?
SUSIE:
Yeah. She thinks George is getting
in, but it's not gonna happen.
I seriously doubt Jackie's gonna let
them use her parents' bed,
like they're planning.
CHRISTINE:
(rolls eyes)
God, I hope not.
