Young Couple - skit
by Ron Kurtus (5 July 71)
(Young couple is locked in an embrace. Then the girl speaks)
GIRL: Tom, it's getting late. You'd better go.
BOY: Just one more kiss.
(They kiss)
GIRL: It's getting late, Tom. You'd better go.
BOY: Just one more kiss.
GIRL: Well, OK. But it's getting late.
(They kiss)
GIRL: This time I mean it, Tom. You'd better go.
BOY: But...
GIRL: No, no. Don't tell me that you want to kiss again.
BOY: But...
GIRL: Tom, I had a wonderful time tonight, but it's getting late.
BOY: Sue, I've got something to tell you.
GIRL: Tom, I don't care if you can't live without me. It's late and I had a nice evening with you, but I'm tired and have to get some rest. So, goodnight Tom.
BOY: I'm not Tom! I'm George!
GIRL: George?
BOY: That's what I've been trying to tell you.
GIRL: Ohh. (puts her hand to head) That's right! I went out with Tom last night.
(aside) And what a night!
BOY: I'm George.
GIRL: Well, why didn’t you say something when I kept calling you Tom?
BOY: Heck, I figured that I was doing so good as Tom, that I might as well keep going.
GIRL: You mean that you'd take advantage of me is Tom's name?
BOY: (pulls her close to him) I'll get it any way I can.
GIRL: Oh, you say the most romantic things.
(They kiss)
GIRL: This tine I really mean it George. It is late, and I think you'd better go.
BOY: (suddenly) Oh, alright.
(He gets up and goes to the door.)
Good night, Sue.
(She goes to the door with him)
GIRL: Good night George. I'm sorry again that I got you mixed up with Tom.
BOY: That's alright.
(They kiss a short good night kiss, and George leaves. Sue goes back to the couch and sits there for a short time in thought. Then there is a knock at the door. She excitedly runs over to answer the door. George is at the door.)
GIRL: George!
(They embrace)
You couldn’t live without me! Your heart was heavy with sadness, and you couldn’t force yourself to leave.
BOY: Well, not exactly.
GIRL: Tell me. Tell me how strong your feelings are for me, and why you just couldn’t leave.
BOY: When I got outside to my car, I thought to myself, Why should I leave? And where would I go, anyways? After all --- it is my apartment!
GIRL: (puts hand to mouth) Oh, that's right! I though we were in my place.
BOY: Oh, you silly little fool. (affectionately)
(They embrace)
GIRL: You say such romantic things, George.
(End? or should there be more?)
