6. The Pretzel Knot

Scene 6: The Pretzel Knot

(Lights up on the Pretzel knot. Jenna and Trey are behind the counter in pretzel knot uniforms. The other teens are seated at tables. Doofus approaches the counter.)

JENNA: Welcome to the Pretzel know, my name is Jenna. Can I take your order?

DOOFUS: I know your name, stupid.

Jenna: I know you do, but i have to say that anyway.

DOOFUS: That's stupid.

JENNA: You're gonna get me fired. Do you want a pretzel or not?

DOOFUS: I'm here aren't I?

JENNA: Well then order.

DOOFUS: I wanna chocolate-covered pretzel.

JENNA:(calls to Trey) Chocolate-covered pretzel.

TREY:(Calls back) Chocolate-covered pretzel.(He gets it)

JENNA: Chocolate-covered pretzel. Anything else?

DOOFUS: A large orange fizzy.

JENNA:(Calls to Trey) Large orange fizzy.

TREY:(Calls back) Large orange fizzy.

JENNA: Large orange fizzy. Anything else?

DOOFUS: Yeah, Jenna loves Trey Patterson.

JENNA: (Calls without thinking)Jenna loves Trey Patterson.

TREY: (Calls back without thinking) Jenna loves Trey Patterson.

JENNA/TREY: What?!

EVERYONE: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

(Lights change Jenna reads from her journal.)

JENNA: Total humiliation at the pretzel. I don't love Trey Patterson. He's butt ugly. He was almost nice in seventh grade, and I could've liked him, but now he's a total pee-on and has no friends and I'd rather stick nails in my eyes than admit to liking him and that's what I said.

(Lights back to Pretzel Knot.)

JENNA: Trey's a total pee-on and has no friends and I'd rather stick nails in my eyes than admit to liking him!(to Trey) No offense.

TREY: None taken. One chocolate-covered pretzel and a large orange fizzy. Three fifty-two.

DOOFUS:(pays him:) Keep the change, Trey.

(Trey grabs his backpack and exits, angry.)

JENNA: Where are you going?

TREY: Taking my break!

JENNA: I can't man the counter alone!

(Lights change. Arno reads from his journal)

ARNO: I would never tell anyone, but I kinda like Trey.

(Lights back to the Pretzel Knot. We hear sreaching tires.)

FRANKY: What's that?

VINCENT: Look out the window.

EDYTHE: Oh-my-gosh-it's-Tina-Louise's-car!

HELEN: Should it be coming right at us like that?

(They all scream. Tires screeching to a stop. sound of car doors slamming.)

BUCKY: Wow. Close.

VINCENT: Should she be driving?

(Tina-Louise enters happily.)

EDYTHE: Really-nice-driving!

TINA-LOUISE: Thanks!

(Dan, Ken, Clifford, Julia, and Benny enter, obviously very shaken by the drive.)

JENNA: Welcome to the Pretzel Know, my name's Jenna, how can I take your order?

CLIFFORD:(Still paralyzed with fear:) One.. giant... cinnamon pretzel... with chocolate sprinkles.

JENNA: Are you okay?

CLIFFORD: Just get me the pretzel!

(Black Out.)
