ACT I

AT RISE: Loran walks up to bar and sits next to Sierra.

LORNA
Hi.

Sierra smiles politely.

LORNA
Can I buy you a drink?

SIERRA
(holding up drink)
I already have one.

LORNA
Man. I totally don't know how to do this.

SIERRA
Do...what?

LORNA
I'm trying to hit on you.

SIERRA
I'm not gay.

LORNA
You sure?

SIERRA
Yeah.

LORNA
Not even bi?

SIERRA
Nope.

LORNA
(relaxing)
Oh. Good. I totally didn't know what I was doing.

SIERRA
So...you think you're gay?

LORNA
I don't know. I wanted to try it out...

SIERRA
And you decided to hit on me?

LORNA
I was looking around. You're not with anyone. And you're cute.

SIERRA
Thanks. I guess.

LORNA
And I thought, 'I could see myself going down on that girl.'

SIERRA
Okay. Overshare.

LORNA
But I totally could. You should take it as a compliment.

Sierra looks around, like looking for a way to leave.

LORNA
I know that look. Please don't go. I just need to get up the nerve...

SIERRA
This isn't exactly the kind of place you pick up people.

LORNA
Why not?

SIERRA
The bar at an Applebee's?

LORNA
I'm sure lesbians eat at Applebee's.

SIERRA
You didn't think about going to a gay bar?

LORNA
I thought it'd be too much pressure. And too many people to choose with. Plus, I like it here. It's got a real homey feel.

SIERRA
That's because of all the families.

LORNA
They like gay people. Gay's in now, didn't you know that.

SIERRA
Sure. Think I heard something on the news.

LORNA
I just have to find someone that I think looks cute and that looks like they might want to fuck me.

SIERRA
Why didn't you bring a friend with you...you know, to help you...?

LORNA
They don't think I'm gay. They all think it's some flight of fancy. But I could be gay. They don't know.

SIERRA
Are you sure. I mean...you really don't seem gay to me.

LORNA
Gay people come in all shapes and sizes. Just because sometime I like a little cock, doesn't mean I'm not gay.

SIERRA
Okay. By definition, I think that means you're not gay.

LORNA
You too? Everyone's so caught up on the whole cock thing. Like that means anything.

SIERRA
Um, it does. It's kinda the whole point.

LORNA
I don't think so....hey...look...she's cute.

SIERRA
(sighing)
Sure. She's cute.

LORNA
I think I might even like to munch her box.

SIERRA
(hiding a smile behind her hand)
Well...then...you go right ahead.

LORNA
I think I will. Thanks for being so nice.

SIERRA
Yeah. Good luck.

LORNA
Later, cutie.
