(At Maureen's)

Mark knocks on the door - no answer - he knocks again

Mark: She must be out; I'll go wait for her inside.

He opens the door with his key. He came in to a clean house, as usual. He always admired how clean she kept it.

(At the Cat Scratch Club)

Maureen: Hey baby, I'm really tired, can we go?

Joanne: Anything sweetie, lets go. You want to come to my loft?

Maureen: Nah, lets go to mine, I am just dying to show you the plan for our new protest!

Joanne: Oh, the one against the radio shack blocking the pond in Times Square?

Maureen: Nah I decided to can that one, this is the one against the people who want to build a "Death Café" right across the street from the "Life Café".

Joanne: Oh yeah, I remember. Ok baby, let's go.

(They leave)

Maureen: Ok, here we are pooky.

Mark: (To himself) Is that Maureen talking?

Mark starts walking to the door when he hears that she is putting her key in the door

Mark: Oh no, I got to hide!

Mark hides in the bathroom

Mark: Thank God she has one of those showers with the curtains!

Maureen and Joanne walk in

Joanne: Wow, your place is really clean!

Maureen: Isn't it? Yeah, I try hehe.

Joanne: So where is the plan?

Mark peeks out.

Mark: Oh good, it's just a woman; ha I was afraid a man would walk in. Wow, I am such a jerk! Maureen would never cheat on me.

Maureen: Here it is! Isn't it amazing?

Joanne: Oh hun, it is very very creative!

Mark: Hun? Well, girls call each other hun, right? Yeah, man Marky will you stop worrying!

Maureen: I knew you would like it! Now, lets go have some fun.

Mark: Fun? Uh, maybe I should get out of here. And who is she talking to?

Joanne: Hmm fun huh? What do you have in mind?

Maureen: Oh you know what I mean (grabs her) let's go!

(They go into the bedroom)

Mark: Oh, please God, please, tell me this isn't happening. Please, let me wake up from this nightmare please! I've got to get out of here!

Mark quietly gets out of the bathroom; he makes his way to the door

Maureen: Joanne? Do you hear that?

Joanne: No hun, it's probably just the heater.

Maureen: No, I don't think so. (She gets up, puts a towel around her self and walks near the bedroom door)

Mark is about 2 inches from the door

Maureen: Mark? (To herself) Oh shit! Oh God, someone tell me this can't be happening!

Mark turns around to see a naked Maureen covered with a towel

Mark: Oh, god, I-I-I- got g-g-ot to uh go um (Mark always stuttered when he was nervous or upset, which in this case, he was both)

Maureen: Mark, oh my God, I'm, I'm so- oh Mark, oh God-

Mark: -No, it's, it's, oh God I have to go. (He leaves)

Joanne: Hun who was that? (She looks at Maureen, tears filling her eyes) Are you ok?

Maureen: I have to be alone.

Joanne: You sure? Anything I can do?

Maureen: No, please just go, just go.

Joanne: Ok hunnybear, I'll call you later ok?

Maureen doesn't answer she just stands there, staring at the door with this look on her face, it scared the hell out of Joanne, Maureen this upset? Now that was seldom!

Joanne leaves the loft
