Crimpshrine - Summertime



AN IMAGINED DIALOGUE

Three ditzy teens in pajamas sit on the floor in a girl's bedroom, giggling.

ZOE: Okay, okay, okay. Truth or dare.
STEPHANIE: Oh my god...truth.
ZOE: You would pick truth. [PAUSE] Okay. Do you think if you killed yourself in heaven you'd go to double heaven?
STEPHANIE: Ahhh! That's so hard!
ZOE: You have to pick one or you'll never marry a hottie! Yes or no, Stephanie.
STEPHANIE: I don't know! Ummm...yes?

A dramatic pause.

Zoe cheers.

ZOE: Oh my god, yes is right! You would go to double heaven!
STEPHANIE: I knew it!
CAITLIN: What does this have to do with Crimpshrine?

Zoe and Stephanie turn to Caitlin, incredulous.

STEPHANIE: Oh my god, seriously Caitlin?
CAITLIN: What?
ZOE: Seriously Caitlin?
STEPHANIE: Caitlin, seriously?
CAITLIN: I just want to know what any of this has to do with Crimpshrine's song "Summertime."

Stephanie and Zoe look at Caitlin and shake their heads.

STEPHANIE: Sometimes it's about the journey, not the destination.
ZOE: Get out of my house.
CAITLIN: But I'm in my pajamas --
ZOE: Seriously? Get the fuck out. Right now.
STEPHANIE: Get out of here, Caitlin. Nobody wants you here.
CAITLIN: I don't have a ride home. My mom --
ZOE: Do you want me to call the police? 'Cause I'll do it.
CAITLIN: Okay! I'll go!
ZOE: Go faster!

Caitlin gets up, completely taken aback, and starts to leave.

ZOE (in a really friendly tone): Oh my god, don't forget your sweatshirt!
CAITLIN: Thanks.
ZOE: Why don't you try thanking someone who gives a shit?
CAITLIN: Okay, well, I'll see you --
STEPHANIE: Buh-bye!

Caitlin leaves. Zoe and Stephanie watch the door to make sure she's gone.

STEPHANIE: Did she look fatter than normal to you?
ZOE: Oh my god she diiiiid...

Stephanie and Zoe laugh for a few moments.

STEPHANIE: Okay, okay, okay. Truth or dare...

THE END
