Scene 7 - Allison and Rick

ALLISON
So what exactly are you doing here?

BEN
I came to see you.

ALLISON
But why did you come? You know that Rick is here and that if he catches us its over with him and me.

BEN
If you only care about him and you then why am I here?

ALLISON
Because the long distance relationship is too much. I need something on the side; I can't just see my boyfriend every six months.

BEN
Ok.

(Ben gets closer to Allison and starts to kiss her. They make out for a few minutes taking each others clothing off slowly. Suddenly someone knocks on the door. They quickly put their clothes on.)

ALLISON
Come in.

(Rick opens the door and walks in.)

RICK
Hey guys.

BOTH
Hey Rick.

RICK
What are you guys doing?

BEN
We're just talking about stuff.

RICK
Oh, ok.

ALLISON
How have you been holding up?

RICK
All right. It's kind of tough.

ALLISON
It has to be.

BEN
How's Dewey?

RICK
He's slowly recovering. He doesn't go many places. Mostly he enjoys sitting in his wheelchair at the top of the apartment building staring at the city. Gale watches him, as she cries. Its upsetting, but he's going to get better soon.

BEN
Oh.

(Suddenly a beeper goes off. Rick checks his pocket and looks at it.)

RICK
Can you do me a favor Ben?

BEN
Sure. What?

RICK
Gale is going out for a while. She wants me to watch Dewey but I really need to talk with Allison. Can you go over there and look after him?

BEN
Sure.

(Ben walks out. Rick kisses Allison, as he takes off her shirt.)
