In Which the Doctors Get
Left Out of the Cool Club
Every now and then
Average City Hospital likes to reward its mediocre workers with special events
in order to keep everyone semi-excited to wake up and go to work. Of course,
these fancy-schmancy events are only for the very important—no small potatoes
allowed….

as people enter the elegantly-decorated room.*

Bagel Boy: Name?
*Nurse Sexy Hair flips her perfect hair out of her face and
flashes her staff badge. Bagel Boy waves her inside. Hungry Nurse shows his
badge and Bagel Boy him inside*
*Hungry Nurse salivating* Hungry Nurse: Is there food in
there?
Bagel Boy: I
think there’s hors d’oeuvres or something with the wine. There’s no bagels,
like there should be. How could they
think to leave out those perfect, delicious—
*Hungry Nurse runs inside the room, knocking over a waiter in
order to grab a tray of hors d’oeuvres.*
Meanwhile, across the
room…..
Gossipy Nurse:
Wow! This party this awesome! Look at the tiny shrimpy—whatever you call them—they
look so good!
Apathetic Nurse:
Better get one before Hungry Nurse eats them all. What a pig, he acts like a
starving---
Gossipy Nurse:
Pig?
Apathetic Nurse:
Exactly. *Takes a sip of her wine.*
Gossipy Nurse:
Speaking of pigs—how’s it going with Panicked Intern? I heard that last week he peed himself when he was working in the
morgue.
Apathetic Nurse: *rolls
her eyes* That’s not what happened. He told me—
Gossipy Nurse: AH
HA! I knew it. I knew you two were dating. I’m telling everyone--
Apathetic Nurse: Whatever,
see if I care.
Meanwhile…..
Bagel Boy:
Absolutely not! You cannot enter Dr. Handsome Face, this is a closed party for
only certain guests.
Dr. Handsome Face:
But I’m a doctor! And I’m so handsome, they need
me at this party. What will people look at, the cheese sculpture?
Dr. Cheesehead:
*Eyes bugging out* CHEESE! There’s a cheese sculpture at this party? I must get
in, there’s cheese, I need it!
*Dr. Cheesehead and Dr. Handsome Face try to push through
the door.*
Bagel Boy: Keep
back riffraff!
Dr. Ponytail:
Whoah there bagel kid, no need for the yelling, it’s a party, come on, relax.
*Dr.
Ponytail tries to sneak past Bagel Boy into the party.*
Bagel Boy: NO!
Stop him! Help me, we’re being overrun by these peasants! Help!
*Hard-Ass Head Nurse blocks the door, the doctors are forced
to stop.*
Hard-Ass Head Nurse:
Bagel Boy, stand aside, let these fine doctors in. In fact, I’ll bring them in
myself as personal guests. *She smiles.*
*The doctors smile and follow Hard-Ass Head Nurse into the party.
She hands them all glasses of wine and brings them out onto the small balcony
at the back of the party room.*
Dr. Handsome Face:
Thanks! *Takes a sip of the wine.* This is….okay.
Dr. Ponytail: A
party’s a party—how could people deny someone the wonderment of such a festive
atmosphere? *Dr. Ponytail guzzles down the wine.*
Dr. Cheesehead:
*Holds up the wine glass* You have any cheese to go with this?
Hard-Ass Head Nurse:
Enjoy the party. *She smiles at them and closes the door to the balcony, locking
the three doctors outside.*
Dr. Handsome Face:
Hey—wait. *He pulls at the door but it doesn’t open.* Let us back in! It’s
gonna rain soon, my hair--
Dr. Ponytail: No!
I need to party! *Bangs on the door.* Let us in!
Dr. Cheesehead:
You gave me wine without cheese! Barbarians! Noooo!
