A couple sits naked in bed with the sheets covering them. The man has obviously just failed to perform.
Man: I'm really sorry.
Woman: No, that's alright.
Man: It's never happened to me before.
Woman: I understand.
Man: I must have drunk too much.
Woman: (not really believing him, but polite) Okay.
Man: (sensing she is not believing him) Really.
Woman: Alright.
Man: I had a lot to drink.
Woman: Sure.
Man: I mean, I had like 10 beers.
Woman: Wow.
Man: Alcohol impairs sexual performance.
Woman: So I hear.
Man: You don't believe me?
Woman: I believe alcohol impairs sexual performance, yes.
Man: You don't think I was that drunk?
Woman: We've been together since lunch, and I haven't seen you drink a thing.
Man: Yeah, well... (pause) I was really tired.
Woman: Yeah?
Man: Which can also...
Woman: I know.
Man: I mean, I played like 5 hours of soccer today.
Woman: Oh, before lunch? 5 hours of soccer before lunch?
Man: I woke up really early.
Woman: I see.
Man: Yeah, so I got a groinal injury.
Woman: A groinal injury?
Man: Yeah.
Woman: I didn't notice anything.
Man: Yeah, well, it's internal.
Woman: Right.
Man: (pause) Plus I've already had sex like 5 times today.
Woman: What?
Man: I've had a lot of sex today.
Woman: Really? In between soccer and lunch?
Man: Yup. With 5 different people.
Woman: I see.
Man: Yeah. They were totally hot.
Woman: All five of them?
Man: I mean, a lot hotter than you.
Woman: Okay.
Man: (pause) And they were all men.
Woman: Hmm...
Man: Yeah, I'm gay.
Woman: Really?
Man: Yeah, so I'm not so attracted to you.
Woman: Oh, well maybe I should leave.
Man: Yeah, I think that would be best.
Woman: Alright. (she leaves)
Man looks down at penis, dejected at first, then hopeful.
Man: (calling out to woman) Hey, Lola, wait a minute!
Woman returns.
Woman: What?
Man points to penis. Woman looks at it, smiles, and hops back into bed. Man takes woman into his arms.
Man: Now, where were we?
Blackout.
Lights up. Man and woman are in same position as top of sketch. The man looks embarrassed.
Man: I'm really sorry.
Blackout.
Fin.
