ACT IScene 1
Dan, Aurelle, Tim, Sam and Will are all sitting around a table in a library. There are stacks of books around them, and they all have laptopsout. They also have name-stickers on their shirts, and so do all the other folk milling aboutin the library, giving the impression that this issome kind of large group of strangers loosely connected through an schedule-freeorganization. Elliot and Nat come in together,talking, and stop to dialogue near the table withthe others. The characters at times speak passionately, but no one gets offended, no onebacks down as if, for some reason, social backlashand fear of social backlash have somehow beenquelled. Dan is not reading anything - he iswatching the room, and listening. Aurelle istyping away on her computer, Will is reading, and Tim is writing in a notebook. Sometimes, morethan one person might speak at once, overlapping.
ELLIOT(Reading from a slip of paper.) "Sex is definitely animportant part of most healthy relationships - and thedefining part of a lot of unhealthy ones! However,physical beauty and sexiness are not alwaysintertwined. I’ll take a sexy average girl over anun-sexy pretty girl any day." How does this commenteven begin to make sense? I mean what the fuck is thedifference between "pretty" and "sexy?"NATI think it has to do with body language and such -looking sexy.DANIt starts making sense at the beginning... The ideathat a person can be sexually attractive without theappropriate "pretty" facial dimensions?ELLIOT(Not responding)...and what does "sexy average"mean. Also, wow, this is not the room I thought itwas.DANIELYour Charisma score is very different from yourAttractiveness. And Charisma scores sex.
