Situation 9:

Getting Ready for the Party

(Mike comes out of the bathroom.)

Damn,I cut myself shaving.

No problem,just put some toilet paper on it.

I know that,but Im going to have a

big scab on my neck all through the party.

No one will notice it.

Why not?

Because of that big pimple you have on your chin.

Theyll all be too busy staring at that

to notice a little cut on your neck.

Thanks a lot.If I keep talking to you Ill be too

embarrassed to go to this party at all.And Im the one who

got you invited.You owe me.

Sorry,I was just trying to help.

Here,let me get you that tie.

Thats more like it.Now youre making

yourself useful.

Do you like stripes or solids?

Give me a striped one.My shirt is solid white;

I dont want to look too plain.

Good thinking.Do you want a matching handkerchief?

God no.Charles,this is only a semi-formal occasion.

Dont get too fancy.

I know,but when I dress up I like to go all out.
