So Very Tired

AT RISE:

A COSMONAUT tapes pieces of bologna onto a SEXY LADY. They are on a bed. And yes, it should be as awkward as it sounds.

SEXY LADY:
Could you please explain the erotic signifigance of this?

COSMONAUT:
How could I explain such a thing to one who has not seen seen first hand the vast, soul-crushing emptyness that lies beyond the fragile boundaries of our blue speck of a planet? Now stay right there while I get the quiche.

He exits.

SEXY LADY:
The things I do to pay for medical school!

The studio audience EXPLODES with laughter. The WRITER enters.

WRITER:
I am so sorry.

BLACKOUT. END PLAY.
