Party Lines 1.0

by Jeff Goode

Lights up on: People mingling at a party.

One Mingler is having trouble finding a place to fit in, wanders from conversation to conversation, overhearing snippets of conversations:

Why do they call ‘em the Framer’s of the Constitution. What does the Constitution have to hide?

Nobody told me there was gonna be monsters!!

I’m not gay, but if I was, I’d want someone like you to do my nails.

How do you spell "preternatural".
You don’t. It’s not a word.

You know what I hate? Self-loathing.

If I’m so high maintenance, how come I’m the only one that fixes things.

It’s not that I don’t love you, but… I have a dog.

Have you ever owned a Jaguar?
The cat, or the car?

Is there something wrong with me that I don’t know about? Besides the obvious?

Man, if I had a tank o’ gas for everytime I heard that… I could really go places.

Finally, the Lone Mingler finds someone to talk to, and declares:

I don't see suicide bombers. I see people with the freedom to go out and buy guns and bombs and blow themselves up on a street corner that never could have done that under Saddam.

Blackout.
