Scene: The Stoop (or front steps) of Baltimore Rowhome

Time: Hot Summer Afternoon

GENE sits on steps, drinks Natty-Boh from can. JEAN, walks by, her unbuttoned shirt blowing open.

Gene watches her go by, shakes head, drinks his beer.

Jean walks back to stoop.

JEAN: Stop thinking what you’re thinking.

GENE: What? You don’t know what I’m thinking.

JEAN: You’re thinking about my breasts.

GENE: Oh, you do know.

(pause)

GENE: Sorry.

(pause)

GENE: It’s just that you have very nice breasts.

Jean slaps Gene across the face. Then Gene, touches his cheek then drinks his beer. They both smile.
