THE PETTY PLAN
THE PETTY PLAN
SCENE 1 — LIVING ROOM — AFTERNOON

The house is completely peaceful.

Bethany is sitting on the sofa, scrolling through her phone.

Larry casually walks into the room.

Bethany looks up.

BETHANY

What are you smiling about?

Larry shrugs.

LARRY

Nothing.

Bethany narrows her eyes.

She recognizes that look on Larry’s face.

BETHANY

Larry…

Larry laughs.

LARRY

I’m just saying, don’t be surprised if Lynette shows up at the Labor Day Fish Fry.

Bethany immediately stops scrolling through her phone.

BETHANY

Lynette?

Larry nods.

LARRY

Yeah. I already told you she might be coming.

Bethany stares at him.

BETHANY

When were you planning on telling me?

LARRY

I just told you.

Bethany shakes her head.

BETHANY

No, you said it so casually, like it wasn’t even important.

Larry laughs as he walks away.

LARRY

Because it’s not that serious.

Bethany watches him walk away.

She still feels like something isn’t right.

SCENE 2 — BROOKE’S ROOM — LATER

Brooke is sitting on her bed, talking on the phone.

There is a mischievous smile on her face.

She calls Lynette.

BROOKE

Hey, Lynette.

Brooke pauses and listens.

Her smile grows even wider.

BROOKE

So… what are you doing for the Labor Day Fish Fry?

She listens to Lynette.
