[I do not have my first version of my play because it would not copy and paste into the blog post, and in doing so I lost my original copy. So the only version I have now to post is the second revised vision. enjoy. or not. it's up to you. do whatever you want. I don't care. Bye]
Hank always thought that he would never find the right woman, someone who he could connect with intellectually. Every person he’s met he has found one reason or another of why they aren’t for him. He was looking for someone who enjoyed intelligent music, and most over anything someone who liked to read, and by read not kid books like Harry Potter but real books that a grown person would read.
HANK
So Doug, you got any plans for this weekend?
DOUG
Eh, not really, just gonna hang out I think.
HANK
That sounds…pretty lame if you ask me.
DOUG
Yeah dude totally. What’d you got goin’ on?
HANK
I got a few dates set up.
DOUG
Nice man, nice.
HANK
Well you know me.
DOUG
Yeah I do, and you always blow it.
HANK
How do I blow it?
DOUG
You’re standards are just too high.
HANK
I just want someone smart, everyone today is so dumb and doesn’t think. I want someone who thinks, and makes me think.
DOUG
Good Luck.
HANK
Thanks.
HANK
[while walking to the car]
So I was thinking we’d just do something simple tonight and just go get some dinner. How’s that sound to you?
JUILIA
[also walking to the car]
That sounds just perfect.
HANK
[getting into the car]
Great.
JUILIA
Great.
HANK
So are you reading anything lately? Any good books?
JUILIA
Oh, I don’t really like to read too much, I’d rather just sit and watch “Lost”
HANK
Get out.

JUILIA

JUILIA

HANK
