Scene 45

(Open scene at Bowie's condo with Bowie and Troy)

Troy: So, how was the trip?

Bowie: Honestly, the best and worst time of my life.

Troy: Why'd you say that?

Bowie: Well... The best was; I got to meet the 29 dogs and hanging out with them for two weeks. It was so cool.

Troy: And the worst?

Bowie: I fucked up...

Troy: What did you do?

Bowie: A bunch of fucked up shit.

Troy: And what would that be?

Bowie: Fighting with Rita, and then nearly sleeping with a band groupie, ... then throwing up on the same girl. Then, after that, I fought with Rita even more. I don't even know where the relationship is right now.

Troy: Do you regret it?

Bowie: What part?

Troy: fighting with Rita.

Bowie: Well, of course. I fucked up really bad.

Troy: Why are you here?

Bowie: What do you mean?

Troy: I mean, her flight got in five hours ago. She's at her home. Why are you still sitting here?

Bowie: What am I supposed to do?

Troy: Go over there and talk to her.

Bowie: She doesn't want to see me.

Troy: You don't know that.

Bowie: Oh, I know that.

Troy: As you've said, you've fucked up enough. Don't make it worse by leaving it to boil.

Bowie: But what if she rejects me?

Troy: At least you know that you tried everything in your power to fix this.

Bowie: You're right.

Troy: Go.

Bowie: Now?

Troy: Yes!

Bowie: Oh okay. I'll be back.

(Exit Bowie)

(Change scene to Rita's house with Abuela and Rita in the kitchen)

Abuela: Sooooo, How was the trip?

Rita: It was okay...

Abuela: Do you like him?

Rita: I mean, yeah. He's a cool guy.

Abuela: Just a "cool guy"?

Rita: I guess...

Abuela: So, when is your next date?

Rita: I don't know. Sometime next week I guess.

Abuela: Oh, good good. I am so happy that you are finally happy.

Rita: Yeah, no kidding.

Abuella: Que?

Rita: Nothing...

(Enter Carlos, Diego, and Andres) 

Abuela: Finally you're home. Where have you all been?

Andres: At the mall.

Abuela: Mall? I thought you went to the library.

Carlos: Uh, we did. The library is in the mall.
