Lots of thigns are happening
At the festival in September
Lots of people are coming
To watch us do our stuff

SUSAN
(spoken)
Happy opening, y'all. Hey, naked.

HUNTER
Stop. I'm waiting until the last minute to put on my shirt because
I get sweaty under my left pit when I'm nervous.

SUSAN
That is specific.

HEIDI
You should go onstage like that.

HUNTER
I would never go onstage without my shirt. We should have Jeffy take his shirt off.

JEFF
I'm not taking my shirt off.

HUNTER
Yeah, take your shirt off and we'll start the scene over.
Heidi, you take your top off too.

HEIDI
Hunter, I'm not going to take off my top.

HUNTER
Both of you, take off your fucking shirts so we can sell some tickets to the show!

SUSAN
Yeah!

HUNTER
That's hot.

SUSAN
Now y'all, kiss. Serious y'all, kiss.

JEFF
Okay, that's ridiculous. I'm not gonna kiss her.

SUSAN
I'll kiss her.

HUNTER
Oh my god, this show has everything! Half naked guys and girl on girl action!

We could get that woman who was one "Empty Nest"...

HEIDI
(spoken)
Hey Swasson... are you okay?

SUSAN
No, Heidi, I'm bummed we only have four more of these.
I like doing the show. It balances out my day job which is killing me softly.
I wrote this song sitting at my desk today... I'd like to sing it... for you now...

(sung)
Can't you see that I'm dying inside?
Can't you see that I'm dying inside?
If you shined a flashlight in my butt you'd see
I'm dying inside

HUNTER
(spoken) Hello?

JEFF
Hey, we got a bad review.

HUNTER
I thought we agreed not to read reviews. What did it say?

JEFF
Well, it was like "the script is a sign of bad things to come" and "the songs were forgettable"...

HUNTER
You can't believe reviews. Wait, I'm getting another call.

JEFF
Don't go away, I'm needy!

HUNTER
Hello?

HEIDI
Hunter, did you see it?

HUNTER
See what?

HEIDI
Hunter, page 2, Friday Times, Weekend section. They loved us!

HEIDI
Okay.

HUNTER
Jeff, we got a good review in The New York Times.

JEFF

HUNTER
Yeah! Page two, weekend section! This is so awesome!

JEFF
Wait a second, I thought you said not to read or believe that stuff.

That was some bullshit I pulled out of my ass to make us feel better.

Happening at the festival,
Everywhere you turn
