SETTING: SAME LIVING ROOM, DIFFERENT GROUP OF PEOPLE. SOME ARE POPPING UP THEIR HEADS TO WATCH THE REVEREND.
LADY 1: He is cute.
LADY 2: Yes he is. But he seems a little off. Whenever he's talking to you he's always looking around. I'm used to guys talking to my chest but he'll look at my hands a lot and over my shoulders. I'm not used to guys not looking at my chest.
GENTLEMAN 2: Sweetie, I've known you for years, most women talk to your chest also.
LADY 1: I know what you mean. When I was working in the church office I heard him talking to some plumber for the church, and when the plumber said he had to raise the estimate the Reverend's voice got real quiet, so quiet I couldn't really hear what he said. The plumber I could hear and he wasn't joking like before, said it was his mistake and he would fix it on the original estimate and he would do it right then instead of the next day. I do wonder what he said to that plumber.
GENTLEMAN 2: (SCOFFING AND A LITTLE CONDESCENDING) Please, do you think he threatened him? He probably just asked about giving the church a discount. And he was embarrassed so he whispered it.
ACT TWO. SCENE THREE.
SETTING: SAME LIVING ROOM, BACK TO THE REVEREND'S GROUP.
REVEREND: (JOKING AND HAVING FUN LIKE THE REST OF HIS GROUP) As everyone knows, I've recently moved here. Any places I should avoid? Any restaurants I must try, or try to avoid?
