NOW WHO’S JEALOUS?

WRITTEN BY WARREN SAGER

CAST OF CHARACTERS: One couple, Burt and Nancy
A couple enter and seem to be headed somewhere when the woman stops the man.
NANCY
What was that all about?
BURT
What?
NANCY
That thing that just happened between you and Lisa Parker.
BURT
What??! What are you talking about?
NANCY
You were just flirting with Lisa Parker.
BURT
Flirting!? I was not! Where did you get that idea?
NANCY
I saw you! I was watching you! You were flirting with her!
BURT
I was talking with her. I don’t know what you saw! But I was NOT flirting!
NANCY
Well, you were acting far too friendly.
BURT
We were having a friendly conversation. She is a friendly person. I was being friendly! You…on the other hand, are being rather weird!
NANCY
Well, I was embarrassed. If anyone saw you two, I’m sure that they thought the same thing as me. It was very humiliating!
BURT
That’s just crazy! You got this one all goofed up. There was not any flirting going on!
NANCY
Do you think she’s prettier than me?
BURT
Oh my gosh! What is your problem? Why are you suddenly comparing yourself to other women? I didn’t know you were so insecure.
NANCY
So, you do think she is prettier! Or you would have said otherwise!
BURT
Nancy…how Lisa Parker looks is not an issue! I was just having a friendly conversation with her and that was all. I was not flirting, and I was not looking at her…
NANCY
Of course you were looking at her!
BURT
Not in the way you are thinking! I wasn’t thinking about how pretty she is. We were just talking. She could have been anybody! You need to calm down. Jealousy is not flattering on you.
NANCY
I’m not jealous.
BURT
Ha! You obviously are, or you would not have thought about Lisa and I for one second.
NANCY
Now it’s Lisa and I?
BURT
Oh…man! Listen to yourself! It doesn’t matter what I say now. You have chosen to be jealous of Lisa Parker for some strange reason, and until you realize that, I cannot convince you that there is nothing there.
NANCY
Now you are trying to make this about me….saying I’m jealous. This is about you being inappropriate with another woman in public.
BURT
Sweetheart…there is nothing inappropriate! You have just gotten bitten by the jealousy bug and I’m hear to tell you, your color is changing and the color green does not look good on you!
NANCY
Oh stop making the clever lines! You may be able to impress Lisa, but you are not going to impress me! I was hurt by what you did! I wanted to go crawl into a hole.
BURT
Why didn’t you just come over and join our conversation?
NANCY
Oh right! Lisa would have thought that I was insecure in our marriage and I couldn’t leave you alone with her.
BURT
I doubt she would have thought that… but if the shoe fits…
NANCY
(She hits him in the arm)
Oh! You burn me up!
BURT
I’m just saying…you are acting like you are very insecure and jealous. I’m actually glad that you didn’t come over, because if it was that obvious, that really would have been embarrassing!
NANCY
You’re the one who should be embarrassed.
BURT
Let’s just get in the car and go home. Where did we park anyway?
NANCY
Right next to Bob Patterson, remember?
BURT
Oh, that’s right! Boy does he drive a nice car! Must be nice to make enough to afford a Rolls Royce! What I wouldn’t give to be in his position!
NANCY
Now who’s jealous?? (They exit)

THE END
