Act 1
Scene 1. Inside a apartment in New York City.
(Phone Rings)
Jacob
(Talking to himself) Man… Who is calling me at this time ? (looks over at the clock and picks up the phone) Hello? Who is this?
Carlos
Hey sorry to bother you bro, but did you know there is this awesome party going on ?
Jacob
What are you talking about its 10 pm and I was trying to sleep!
Carlos
Well why are you sleeping for? (laughs) Does the little baby have a bed time?
Jacob
Very funny dumb ass!
Carlos
Relax kid I am just messing with you.
Jacob
I’ve been sleeping early because I took some Tylenol to make me sleep away the break-up I had with Michelle.
Carlos
Aw… Are you serious bro? Why are you crying over that chick? You did the right thing. She never deserve you in the first place and I’m sure you will find much better when the time is right.
Jacob
I guess you’re right. It just hurts inside to constantly think that someone you loved deeply and was with for many years would hurt you behind your back.
Carlos
I understand my brother! But just give it time and eventually you won’t give any two shits about her. So… are you coming to this party or what?
Jacob
(thinking) Hmm… I’m not going to this one because I would want to drink and I have all this medicine in my system.
Carlos
No problem.
Jacob
But when you do have another party don’t tell me at the last minute you stupid fucker! (laughs)
Carlos
(laughs) Alright man you got it. See ya!
Jacob
(Jacob hangs up the phone and begins talking to himself) I’m getting kind of thirsty. I’ll better get something to drink. (Jacob grabs a bottle of water from the kitchen) Mm… good ole bottle of water.(Jacob walks to his room and lies on his bed. Upon lying on his bed Jacob eyes slowly closes and he begins to dream of his ex girlfriend.)
Jacob
Michelle! Why did you cheat on a good man such as me? I just don’t understand why you would.
Michelle
Jacob, Jacob… I never wanted to be with you from the start. The only thing that kept me with you was all the money you had. You were the only guy who had a lot of money but not the model looks I looked for in a guy. Also, I just got tired of not really loving you!
Jacob
You bitch! How can you be so spite full!
Michelle
You know what else Jacob?
Jacob
(heavy breathing) What?
Michelle
I am pregnant by your best friend Carlos(evil laugh).
Jacob
Are you serious!?
(Alarm clock rings.)
Jacob
(talking to himself) Oh fuck! It was just a dream but yet it felt so real. I’ll better tell Carlos about this dream later today.(Jacob starts to get dress for work. As Jacob gets dress for work he turns on the television and sees a commercial about online dating.) Hmm… An online dating commercial (laughs) who would use one of those to find true love.(stares into space and thinks) Well damn maybe I should try to sign up after work.(Jacob leaves his house and heads to work.)
Scene 2. In Jacobs job.
Jacob
Morning people! Sorry I’m late. I had a strange dream and other stuff that kept me late.
Jacobs Boss
It’s okay Jacob just go to your cubicle and start some work.
Jacob
Sure boss. (Jacob walks his way to his cubicle and sits down.)
Carlos
Dude, you look out of it. What the hell happen to you?
Jacob
(whispering voice) I had a dream that Michelle said you got her pregnant.
Carlos
(looks at Jacob with disbelief) I ought of slap you over the head for thinking such nonsense. We have been friends since kids . You are a brother to me.
Jacob
Yea I know.
Carlos
Well look here man. After work you're going to go home and change. And then we are off to find some chicks in a bar.
Jacob
Well I am not really a bar person but I’ll go to it.
Carlos
(talking while working on the computer) Good! By the way, you know what Jacob?
Jacob
What sup?
Carlos
I think this baseball game that our boss wants us to make is going to never reach the deadline.
Jacob
Why would you say it won’t?
Carlos
Dude! Because it is only us two who are making this baseball game. We need more people or this company needs to hire more people.
Jacob
(laughs) Don’t worry about it. We will have it finished by the deadline. Everything will be fine.
Carlos
I hope so.
Jacob
I remember when this company (“Wow Games”) had so many people when I first started. (looks around the office) Now look at it. It’s pretty much empty.
Carlos
I know bro. It’s because of all these layoffs. And this shit economy isn’t helping either.
Jacob
(nods his head) Well I don’t know about you, but I ‘am getting hungry . Let’s go to lunch.
Carlos
Let’s go!
(Carlos and Jacob begin walking to the diner.)

Waitress
Okay well let me place these orders .
(Waitress walks away.)
Jacob
So let’s get down to business what bar are we going to tonight?
Carlos
Well, I was thinking about heading over to the gothic sunset bar.
Jacob
