Genre: Will and Grace
Setback: I do not own any of the characters or company lines of Will and Grace.
This is an original piece. Have fun acting it out with your friends!
PARTS:
Grace
Will
Jack
Karen
The setting is in Grace's "shop." She is hovering over her "desk", working on her latest design for a nursery. She is smirking for some odd reason, and she looks much sucked into her work.
Karen is at the desk next to her. Will and Jack are not on scene yet.
Karen: Grace, you've been so quiet. What did you drink last night that you don't want to tell me about?
Grace:(merely smirks)
Karen: You had sex with Will, I knew it.
Grace: (appalled) No!
Karen: Well then what is it, honey? Usually you're loud, annoying—
Grace: Okay.
Karen: (going on) Whiny, jumpy—
Grace: Karen…
Karen: Irritating, and drunk. (smiles innocently)
Grace: I know… (pause)
Karen: So why are you acting so…happy? …It's disgusting.
Grace: (smiling and going back to her work) No reason. I'm in a happy mood, that's all. Can you live with that?
Karen: Here, sweetie, have some of this… (hands Grace her Vodka cup)
(Grace stares at the cup in fear and complete nervousness)
Grace: Uh…no thanks.
Karen: (taking the cup back as if offended) Grace! You've never rejected a drink before! (cuddles with the cup) It's okay, baby, no…she didn't mean that, no of course not…
Grace: (rolls eyes) N-no, I'm just…not in the swing of drinking right now.
Karen: Well if you ever need it honey, it's here. (slugs the drink down) Man, you're missing out.
(CUT TO SCENE TWO)
(Will and Jack are in Will's apartment sitting on the couch. Will is reading the newspaper, and Jack is checking out his nails.)
Jack: Ooo, don't you look bee-yoo-tee-full today! Nice shade of red, too…too bad Will doesn't know what color you are.
Will: Jack, for the last time, your nails are not maroon, they're vermillion.
Jack: Shows what you know. It is clearly maroon, you…moron. Ha-ha. Maroon moron.
Will: (rolls eyes)
(Grace enters the apartment)
Grace: (begins to take off her coat) Hey, Will.
Will: Hey, Grace. Get anything done today with Karen in the office with you?
(Karen enters behind Grace)
Karen: Hey! No fair! Grace is just as annoying as me!
Grace: Actually, I did finish the nursery I was designing.
Will: Nursery? For who?
Grace: Umm…uh…your mom.
Jack: Will, I am so proud of you. You made-out with your mother? Aww…
Will: I'm going to ignore you, Jack…Grace, what?
Grace: (nervous again) Y-yea…your sister…had a baby…
Will: I have a sister? Since when?
Karen: Will, Will, Will…when will you ever learn? You have no brain, so you have no memory, sweetie!
Will: Grace, seriously…who was the nursery for?
Grace: (trying to get off the topic) Hey, do I hear Stan at the door? Let me go get him!
(Grace rushes out of the apartment)
Will: Grace! (pause) What the hell was that all about?
Jack: Well if I didn't know better I'd say Grace made the nursery for herself.
Karen: (laughs hysterically) Don't be silly, Jackie. Only women have babies.
Will: No, no, Karen what if Jack is right? What if Grace is pregnant?
Karen: Hmmm…I never thought of that. Maybe men can have babies now, too.
Jack: Come to think of it, I did have sex with a man last night…(gasps) What if he's having the baby!
Will: (rubbing his temple) I am not surrounded by idiots, I am not surrounded by idiots…
Grace: (rushes back into the room) Hey, look, no Stan. I'm just going to grab my coat and leave!
(Grace begins to rush out of the apartment again, coat in hand, when Will grabs her arm.)
Will: Grace, can I talk to you?
Grace: (reluctantly) Maybe…
(Will pulls Grace outside of the apartment and shuts the door. Jack and Karen go to the door and press their ears up to it.)
Will: Grace…please, tell me if something is…going on.
Grace: (smirks) Are you ready to be a father?
