- Another scene change. Cut to apartment where dpr walks in to find Jester crouched over some plans. *
Dpr: whatchya doin?
Jester: Making plans for the big birthday party next week. See? I’ve got it all planned out. We can put the tootsie rolls over here, next to the drinks but away from the peanuts, chips and dip which I’ve put over here. This way people will get thirsty from eating but be forced to circulate constantly. Neat huh?
big pause as dpr looks at jester
dpr: you do realise they could just move the bowls don’t you?
jester looks aghast at the idea
dpr: It’ll be fine mate. So how’s Chantelle? (he said referring to the supermodel who guest-starred in last week’s episode and who hit it off with Jester)
Jester: Great!! Who would’ve thought we’d have so much in common? We’ve had a couple of lunches and she stayed over last night nudges dpr Yeah she’s wonderful.
Dpr (smiling broadly): That’s great man. So you two lovebirds got plans for the weekend then?
Jester: Yeah I’m taking her to meet my mom this weekend. notices the look dpr gives him What? You don’t think I’m moving too fast do you?
Dpr: Jester, if you were moving any faster you’d travel back in time.
<<insert laughtrack>>
Jester: Oh you can talk Mr-I love-Scotti-but-can’t-tell-her-how-I-feel. If you were moving any slower you could vacation at Mount Rushmore as a dead president.
audience laughs but is sobered quickly by the pained expression on dpr’s face
Dpr: I just can’t tell her man. I couldn’t take the rejection. Not from her. What if she hates me? What if she gives me the “just good friends” line?
both men shudder violently and pull faces at the mention of this and the audience laughs enthusiastically
Jester: If you don’t tell her you won’t know how SHE feels. She could feel the same way about you. Or she may not. Until you ask though you won’t know, and either could be true.
Dpr: And either could be false. Great! I’m in love with Schroedinger’s Woman!
<<muted laughter as only some of the crowd get the joke>>
