Safe Sex Script

*Fade in* Bill is sitting alone in the corner of the local diner. He ordered his usual pastrami sandwich and proceeded to wrap himself up in the digital world of social media on his smartphone.

*Jonie (the diner’s veteran waitress) enters and calmly delivers Bill’s sandwich to his table. By this point, Bill has been coming to this diner for years and for the most part ordered the same meals. Jonie and Bill have built up a first name based relationship and talk regularly as friends when they see each other often.

Jonie - How’s everything Bill? I try to check up on ya often to make sure your pastrami is just the way ya like it. Bill - Oh its wonderful as always. Thank you. Jonie - Can I get ya anything else? Bill - Not at the moment. But thanks. *Jonie walks away to attend to other customers and begins to fold napkins by the bar adjacent to Bill’s table. *As Bill loses almost all of his focus from the sandwich and becomes fixed upon his phone in one hand, he unknowingly reaches down with the other and picks it up and takes a big bite. After a few seconds of determined chewing and thumb twiddling upon the screen in the other hand, he blindly places the sandwich back down on the table, however, Bill did not realize nor seem to care that he had placed the sandwich directly onto the table and not on a plate or napkin. *Jonie notices this but does not act or say anything in regaurds *Bill once again reaches back down, this time taking his attention off of the phone and realizes his mistake. From facial expression alone, one could tell that Bill understands the mistake he has just made and that in most people’s eyes, the sandwich would now be considered contaminated

or dirty because most of its parts had plainly sat on a highly used public surface for a considerable amount of time. No matter, Bill shrugs and picks it back up, taking yet another bite out of the sandwich and this time paying attention to its placement. *Jonie cannot take much more, after witnessing the entire scene from afar. She slowly rises, stops what she is doing, and heads over to Bill. Jonie - Hey Bill, not to embarrass you but I just saw what you did (slight laughter in her tone). (Bill and Jonie have established a close enough relationship where she could have brought this up and no argument or judgement would be sparked). I cannot believe you would do that! Do you know how many people have touched, sneezed, and done god knows what on that table? And you just ate food directly off of it! Bill - Leave me alone! (also in a half joking tone) I was hungry! Plus, I trust you guys wash these tables anyway! Jonie - All we do is wipe it down quick with an already dirty cloth, and I’ll be the first to admit that! You’re crazy! You can catch a disease or something! Bill - Oh relax, its not that big a deal. Jonie - Well I think it is. When eating, one needs proper protection upon their sandwich. If it is not protected, you can catch many germs, bacteria, and even diseases! It’s not worth it. A plate or napkin would work fine. Or even latex rubber or sheep’s skin. Anything that keeps your sandwich protected properly will be best and keep you out of harm. Didn’t your father ever have that talk with you? Apparently not and he should have! Bill - I guess you are right Jonie. That was a foolish mistake. My sandwich was completely unprotected. Who know’s what I could have caught. I better go get myself tested just in case. I will definitely remember to protect my sandwich next time. Thanks Jonie!

Jonie - No problem! Just trying to help! And just remember Bill, always put your sandwich in a bag, or the consequences will make you gag! *Bill smirks and leaves Jonie’s tip on the table, exiting the diner in a shameful hurry....
