A Secret Time
They are lovers. They’re behind the sofa and looking to see if someone is coming. They make sex together, then they hear something and get up suddenly. They don’t know they’re supposed to sit on the couch not be behind it. They’re looking to see who’s watching. It’s a very nice room, a big room. They’re hiding for something. They hiding from the boss. What a boring job, pushing all the buttons on the couch! This is not their room. They are babysitting for a child. There’s a cat hiding there too. I think he’s saying, “Why’d you take your clothes off?” So they can get intimate together. It’s a dark room, it’s night. They’re babysitting for a child, and the owner’s not home. How do you know? The owner’s coming home, and they won’t get money for taking care of the child, because they’re doing what they want to do. The owner’s angry. The man said, “Who just knocked on the window from outside?” The neighbor next door. The owner told the neighbor to check and see what’s going on. The owner told the neighbor to check on the cat. They’re making a movie. Possibly. What kind of movie? A pornographic movie. I’m the director! The name of the movie is, “Don’t Hide.” “Two on a Couch Trying to Make Three.” “Exploring Intimate Relationships.” “A Woman and a Man.” They are not a husband and wife. This is a secret, making a secret something. They’re rolling their eyes. It’s in Hollywood. That makes sense. It’s a movie set. The sofa is very nice. It’s new. If it’s a movie, you can say, “Fade to black.” She looks at him and says, “It’s time for you to go home.” But they’re going separately, not together. I’m rolling my eyes like they do. I think they’re going to meet each other again, but it will take a little time after what happened. Yeah, I agree. They’re going to meet each other by accident. He’s with another girlfriend. Nice work if you can get it! Divorce! After a while, the man call for her and says, “I don’t want to see you again.” She’s embarrassed about what happened. She says, “You’re very disappointing.” Even if she’s pregnant. “Once with you is enough,” he said. The cad. I think the woman was very shy and didn’t feel good about what happened. Their names are Eva and George. Sylvia and Joseph. Jeffrey and Clara. Flora and Duncan. He says, “You’re stupid.,” because she doesn’t want to do what he wants her to do. The plot thickens. They get dressed, and the owner says, “Thank you very much, I’m going to get someone else.” She gets up and has a tutu on, he gets up and is in his pajamas. They went to bed. Together. I hope it doesn’t have buttons on it like the sofa. What does the director say about this? The audience wants to have their own ending. Cut!
