Act 1: Scene 3

Lights up on a row of 8 outdoor lawn chairs. Each is filled with a body in a bathing suit, soaking in the rays. Everyone is laying down smiling and enjoying the sun except ONDY who is seated in the last chair still frantically typing on his laptop . GIRL 3, who is on the opposite end of the chairs, whispers to RANDOM GUY. He whispers to GIRL 4 who is next to him and (much like the game of telephone) the whisper passes down to GIRL 1 who is sitting next to ONDY and she asks

GIRL 1: Ondy, Are you done yet?

ONDY stays focused and quickly shakes his head 'no' while continuing to type. He stops. A smile lights up across his face and everyone looks over at him with anticipation...

He hunches over and begins typing again. This time a little less flustered. Then he stops and everyone looks at him once again.

Just as Ondy begins to raise his rands with joy he quickly slouches over yet another time. He now feels more anxious than ever to finish his work. ONDY is now typing at a ridiculous speed and seems so removed from the stage that he almost doesn't hear


GIRL 2: (Entering with her laptop) Hey Ondy, do you have internet access.

ONDY: I don't know, I'm working on a paper.

GIRL 3: OMG! He's actually going to talk on this trip.

ONDY: Shut it. I'm almost finished.

GIRL 2: Well, can you check for me.

ONDY: You have your laptop right there. You can't check for yourself?

GIRL 2: Well, I could. But I just wanted to--

ONDY shoots an evil glare to GIRL 2. Who receives the glare then exits Stage L.

Everyone on stage remains silent as ONDY seems to be putting the final touches on his paper.

There's a tense beat. Then GIRL 2 re-enters, now carrying a cat in her hand.

GIRL 2: Do you guys think we should go out and get more tanning lotion today just in case someone runs out next week?

Everyone on stage lets out an intentionally audible sigh.

ONDY: OMG! I'm done. And send...and finished! Woot, Woot! Now that's how you do it, baby!

('I'm walking on Sunshine' begins playing in the background)

Ondy's laptop floats off of his lap and above the stage until it can no longer be seen. ONDY stands up and rips his pajama pants off to reveal a bright green sexy speedo. GIRL 3 and GIRL 4 enter and spray Ondy's body with tanning oil as RANDOM GUY rubs in the oil and GIRL 5 brings him a corona.

ONDY: Senior in college, on a much deserved spring break, and single. This should be fun.

GIRL 6: Are you narrating your thought process out loud?

ONDY: Yes.

The stage is silent for a moment.

ONDY: Huh-Lo!

Exeunt
