Pre-Honeymoon Plans

Scene 1

(The setting is a bedroom. Two brothers, soon to be married to their ladies, are sitting in the room with their soon-to-be brides. They are discussing plans for their "pre-honeymoon," which we will soon realize is a honeymoon before their wedding.)

JONATHON

So, what were you thinking about?

BROTHER

I don't know! Let's go somewhere festive.

JONATHON

I don't know your damn definition of festive, bro.

HANNAH

I don't either, and he and I have been together for years. He's very difficult sometimes.

AUBREY

Preach to that, sista.

BROTHER

You shut your damn mouth before I rip out your vocal cords!

JONATHON

Hey, don't talk to her like that! How would you like it if I ripped Hannah's vocal cords out?

BROTHER

I wouldn't really care! She talks too much anyway! But no one talks quite as much as that bitch that you call a girl!

JONATHON

Now that's not very nice! Let's respect each other. I respect your fiancée for the most part.

BROTHER

That's a load of bullshit, man!

JONATHON

Hey, I don't call her the kinds of things you call my lady!

(There is a brief moment of silence. Hannah feels that she is well respected by Jonathon. She, however, doesn't want to admit it to Brother. As Jonathon's Brother is never given a true name. Brother will be capitalized from this point forward.)

HANNAH

(Timidly, almost as if in a half-whisper.) It's true.

BROTHER

You see, she talks too much!

JONATHON

Oh, please, she said two words! You're just jealous of her gorgeous looks and wonderful personality.

HANNAH

Hey! Don't tell me that I have a wonderful personality!

JONATHON

Why not?

HANNAH
