The gang is sitting around around the bar conversing as Dennis walks into the bar.
"Hey Charlie, did you get the tickets yet." asked Dennis
"Hey man. Yo, check this out. I found a way for us to save a lot of money." bragged Charlie
"Check it man," said Charlie, taking out his smartphone "I just saved $400 on our tickets. All I did was changed the our flight date forward one week." said Charilie.
"Yo, thats pretty smart Charlie." said Mac.
"What! God Dammit Charlie." yelled Dennis
"What. I got us a good deal." retored Charlie
"God dammit, you idiot. We were supposed to go to New Orleans for the week for Mardi Gras. Its going to over by next week." yelled Dennis
"Look I just figured that we can beat the crowds. Everybody is going that date so the tickets cost more. But I outsmarted the system man, I just picked a different date when there's less people. Its genious dude." said Charlie
"Hey, he's got a point there." said Mac
"What? No. No. What the hell," yelled Dennis agitaged. "No one wants to go to New Orleans after Mardi Gras. Thats fucking pointless. The whole point is to go for Mardi Gras."
"Come on man. Dude, they got to have Mardi Gras all year around man. Its fucking New Orleans, like pa- pa- par-tey, city man. They gotta have stuff happening there. Look man, I am sure you can find a parade or tiddies, or some party to go to somewheres." said Charlie
"What, no. What parades. There are no parades. No parties or tiddies. Theres nothing there after Mardi Gras. God dammit Charlie." said Dennis.
"Come on, back me up on this Mac." said Charlie
"He's right. Dude man, just watch any movie or show that has New Orleans in it. Its always Mardi Gras there man." said Mac
"What! No! Oh God, what are you talking about. Those are movies. We're talking about real life here. God dammit it." said Dennis
"Alright, alright. Fine. I change the date back. But it will now cost us $900 more to change it back." said Charlie
"No one is changing anything." said Frank
"What. No. We all agreed that we would go do Mardi Gras in New Orleans." protested Dennis.
"Well, its my credit card. I am paying for the trip, so I say no. I am not paying an extra $900." said Frank.
"Ok, you know what. Fine. Fine. We'll go to New Orleans after Mardi Gras," conceeded Dennis. "I guess we won't get to see tiddies then."
"Oh oh, excuse me. Looking at tiddies is the only thing that matters to you guys? Thats bullshit." protested Dee
"Man, shut up Dee." said Charlie
"Ok, enough," yelled Dennis. "Mac and Frank, you guys take care of the rest. Get us a hotel and rent a car."
"What, what about me. What do I do." asked Charlie
"Oh, you've done enough. Let them handle it." said Dennis.
"One or two rooms." asked Frank
"I think one is fine." said Charlie
"What. No, I am not rooming with you guys. In case you haven't noticed I am the only woman here." protested Dee.
"Hey guys, whats up." said Cricket, walking into the bar.
"Ccccrrrrricketttttttttttt." the gang greeted Cricket in unison
"Oh, we're just planning our trip to New Orleans. We will go to parades and look at tiddies." said Charlie.
"Oh cool, can't wait to visit. Are we going on SouthWest or Delta." asked Cricket.
The gang looked around, looked at each other uncomfortably.
"Um. Um.," said Mac "Who said you're going with us."
"Oh, come on you guys." said Cricket
"You have $300 for the plane ticket, plus money for a hotel." asked Mac.
The gang and Cricket looked around, starring uncomfortably.
