Tom, Joe & Harry sitting
around watching baseball on
TV. Dick enters.
TOM
Where the hell have you been for the last inning?
DICK
Taking a piss, what's it to you?
HARRY
All inning?
DICK
Well, it takes me a few minutes to unroll the mighty
tool.
JOE
Yeah, right. Well, I have a dick twenty-three inches
long and you don't see me making excuses.
DICK
Well, mine is as big around as a beer bottle.
HARRY
Yeah, well, I have to register mine with the police as
a deadly weapon.
Pause. All turn and look at
Tony expectantly.
TOM
I only have one leg.
Pause.
Oh yeah, had the left one amputated when I hit puberty.
DICK
Oh god, I fitted you for those loafers.
TOM
You have a nice touch.
DICK
Oh oh oh oh oh.
JOE
What about, uh, the rest of it?
TOM
I have no ass at all.
Pause.
Yep. Gotta a thing so big I can walk with it.
Pause.
HARRY
Well, I didn't want to mention it, but I have two.
Pause.
DICK
Three.
TOM
Five.
JOE
Naked, I look like a giant sea anemone.
Pause.
HARRY
Yeah? Oh, yeah? Well, mine have--organs of sight.
Yeah, yeah, and they've got great night vision.
TOM
Mine are prehensile. They curl, grip, and flex.
JOE
Mine can drive a car.
HARRY
Cool. Stick shift?
JOE
Sure thing.
Pause.
DICK
Of course, I can come in flavours.
Pause.
JOE
Bullshit, man. You are such a bullshitter.
HARRY
What'd you think, we were born yesterday?
DICK
Sorry.
TOM
Watch the goddamned game.
DICK
Sorry.
JOE
Must think we're some sort of idiots here.
Slow fade to blackout.
