January 8 - "Billy Bisexual Takes a Lover"

BILLY’s bedroom. MAE, 22, sits on his bed, staring out the window. There are no curtains.

Great view of a construction site, complete with CONSTRUCTION WORKERS. One waves to her. She waves back.

BILLY enters from an adjacent bathroom. He’s older than her.

BILLY

So what do you think of the room?

MAE

I think you need a pair of shades. Or a curtain, or something.

BILLY

What do you mean?

MAE

Well what if we want privacy?

BILLY

Oh, we have plenty of privacy.

MAE

Uh, no we don’t.

BILLY

Believe me, the construction workers won’t look in.

MAE

One of them waved at me.

BILLY

Really?

MAE

Really.

BILLY

Ignore it. They won’t look in. Trust me.

He sits next to her, kisses her. They fall backwards. Shirts come off.

After a few seconds, he sits up.

BILLY

They really waved to you?

She sits up, too. Her bra is magenta.

MAE

Ignore it. They won’t look in.

BILLY

They stopped doing that for a while. (Pointing to her bra) Love the color, by the way.

MAE

Thanks, it’s new. Now, can we

BILLY

Those bastards haven’t looked in at me in a while. It must be because you’re a woman.

MAE

What do you mean?

BILLY

Well, when my last boyfriend and I were fooling around, they took one glance and never looked in again.

MAE

Umm, did you just say boyfriend?

BILLY

I wouldn’t necessarily call him boyfriend...It was more like a random hookup. And boy, that certainly scared those construction workers, I tell you.

MAE

Okay. I gotta go.

BILLY

What? Why?

MAE

You never told me you had sex with guys.

BILLY

I don’t. I hate having sex with men. I just like giving blow jobs. But that’s irrelevant here.

MAE

How is that irrelevant?

BILLY

Because I love having sex with women.

MAE

Yeah, I’m outta here.

MAE grabs her blouse, puts it on, exits.

BILLY walks to the window, his shirt still off. He stares out.

The CONSTRUCTION WORKERS wave.
