Scene 5
Jenny and Jeremy and Joe are in Jeremy's room, talking. Everyone is very serious.
Jeremy: I'm just worried about her, I mean-
Joe: With the pregnancy?
Jeremy: Yeah, I guess...I mean- I can handle that. I love her, and I can deal with that. It just everything in her life right now.
Jenny: We understand.
Jeremy: It's not just the pregnancy, it's also her dad's suicide and nobody should have to deal with all that- ya know?
Joe: Right. Is she physically feeling okay?
Jeremy: As far as she's told me, yeah. No morning sickness yet. But I'm not sure she would let me know if she was feeling ill. She's really worried lately, and I think she's afraid of worrying me.
Jenny: That makes sense. Do you want me to talk to her about it?
Jeremy: Could you?
Jenny: Yeah, totally.
Jeremy: Thank you so much.
Joe: What about you? You okay, man?
Jeremy: Yeah, I'm fine. I'm a little worried about the pregnancy but other than that I'm just- concerned, I guess?
Joe: Cool, cool.
Jenny: I think we should do something as a group, like a movie or something. Get everyone's minds off everything.
Joe: That's a great idea, babe.
They kiss.
Jeremy: Really, you guys?
Joe: Like you and Holly aren't any better.
Jeremy: We don't kiss in the middle of a group conversations...
Joe and Jenny just look at Jeremy.
Jeremy: Okay fine, Jesus, you two are annoying.
Jenny: We try. (Smiles)
They laugh
Jeremy: How's Kenny?
Joe: He's fine, he's off driving around with his girlfriend.
Jenny: He got a girlfriend? Kenny got a girlfriend?!
Jeremy: Disappointed, Jenny?
Jenny: (sarcastically) Ha. Ha.
Joe: Yeah, some girl that goes to college with him.
Jeremy: Does he pay her to date him?
Joe: (sarcastically) Yes, Jeremy. He's dating a hooker. If you want I'm sure he'll hook you up with a discount.
Jeremy: Thanks, I'll let your mother know.
Jenny: Seriously, you two?
The boys laugh, and Jenny rolls her eyes.
Lights fade out.
