SCENE

JJ: What is this all about anyway? Both of you are acting weird.

BETH: It's nothing, JJ. Drink your beer.

JJ: Wait a minute. I can put two and two together...

BETH: What'd you get? Three?

JJ: First, there's that perfect couple contest, then Tina wants to "talk", and then grilling Julie's Pa about marriage. I'm starting to see the writing on the stall!

TINA: JJ, don't get upset. It's not like that.

JJ: This is your way of dropping hints about us, ain't it Tina?

TINA: (Looks to BETH for help) Well!

JJ: Don't worry, sugar plum. I understand. Now I ain't in a position to be, buying rings just yet, but I know that when that time comes, there's a perfectly cut cubic zirconium in your future, baby.

TINA: Oh, JJ. Really?

BETH: Wow, JJ. You found us out. Yes, Tina was worried you weren't as insanely in love with her as she is with you.

JJ: (Smiles at TINA) Insane huh?

TINA: Totally and completely.

BETH: You've both got to be.

JJ: Once I'm rich and famous, I'm gonna make you Mrs. JJ Bean.

BETH: Just in time for retirement huh? (JJ and TINA are too wrapped up in each other to hear her).

TINA: You know. You could probably make enough money if you'd go work at your Uncle's Come and Go mini-market.

JJ: He won't let me work there unless I get my GED.

TINA: But he said he'd make you a night manager.

JJ: To be a night manager, he'll make me go take some classes at the community college. It's just too hard.

JULIE: I'm back. (Enters with groceries)

JJ: Hey! Food.

JULIE: It's not for you.

JJ: Who's it for?

JULIE: If you must know, it's for my boyfriend.

JJ: Ooooh. Julie's got a boyfriend. Julie's got a boyfriend.

JULIE: (To TINA) How old is he?

TINA: He's still a little boy inside.

JJ: Yea, a little boy who likes beer. Can I have another one? (Looks in grocery bag)

JULIE: No, go home.

JJ: Aw, man.

JULIE: Go mooch off your mom and dad for awhile.

JJ: But they won't give me beer. My ma hogs it all.

BETH: I guess it runs in the family. (JJ exits)
