PLUM
She's your sister, huh?
LUKE
Yeap.
PLUM
Is she... uh... available?
LUKE
Well, she always has guys lined up.
PLUM
(Disappointed)
Oh.
LUKE
(Sighs)
But she isn’t dating anyone right now. She's waiting for the right guy to come long.
PLUM
(Brightens)
Oh.
PEG
(Enters with drink)
Here you go.
PLUM
Thanks.
LUKE
(Looks at rear)
I better go home and change.
(Starts to exit R)
Lock up for me, Peg.
(Pause)
Wait a minute. I am home. You mean I don't get to leave. Ever again.
(Sits)
It will always be here, haunting me. Never, ever live at your job.
PLUM
No danger of that with plumbing.
LUKE
Uh, but the smell.
PEG
Luke…
LUKE
Come on, admit it. The smell must linger.
PLUM
Jeez, I take a bath you know.
PEG
Just ignore, Luke.
LUKE
You can’t ignore the plumber though. Pull his finger and his smell will linger…
PEG
(Grabs LUKE)
What are you trying to do?
LUKE
Sorry, I’m not up for entertaining just now, especially with the hired help.
PEG
When did you get to be such a snob?
LUKE
When did you get so desperate?
PLUM
Well, thanks for the drink. I better be going.
PEG
No, wait. Please. Luke, you say you’re sorry.
LUKE
(Gets up)
I better go change.
(Exits)
PEG
I’m so sorry. He can be such a jerk sometimes.
PLUM
If you're that mad at him, we could clog up his toilet again.
PEG
Let's.
(They excitedly run up to the bathroom)
PLUM
Okay. I know some great ways to clog up toilets. I've seen the worst.
(Exits. Phone rings)
