You have an exit plan, I don’t.
In the serio-comedy scene from play act, ‘One Way Road, Pedro wants to be alone with his drink but his friend Babs interferes with his plans.
PEDRO: My life is worse now because of you.
BABS: So why are we friends if we keep making one another worse?
PEDRO: That’s a good question.
BABS: So, maybe we can figure it out together.
PEDRO: Figure what out?
BABS: Why we’re friends?
PEDRO: Because we like each other.
BABS: Doesn’t sound like it.
PEDRO: You’re giving me a real hard time tonight Babs and all I wanted to do was drink and forget myself. Is that too much to ask?
BABS: So drink!
PEDRO: I’m tryin!
BABS: Drink. Here. We’ll do shots. On me. (Taps bar counter – to bartender.) Lemme get another for him and me. (Slaps cash on the bar counter.) There you go. Wash it right down and forget our troubles.
PEDRO: (Sighs.) It shouldn’t be this hard.
BABS: Don’t make it hard.
PEDRO: What?
BABS: Don’t make it hard.
PEDRO: You have an exit plan, I don’t.
BABS: I can give you one of my guns if you wanna —
PEDRO: Are you kidding me or what?
BABS: Just saying.
PEDRO: Give it a rest Babs.
BABS: Grab your shot, let’s do this…here’s to living life to the fullest and uh, what else?
They hold up their shots.

BABS: Alright.
They do their shots.
BABS: We friends again?
