(ON THE OFFICE SET OF A TELEVISION SHOW, PETE DIRECTS JACK AND CHRISSIE)
   PETE 
A little more... suggestive. 
   CHRISSIE 
Why would I be suggestive? 
   PETE 
He’s your boss, babycakes, just like I am. Now... 
   CHRISSIE 
“Thank you, Ron. I was hoping you’d like it.” 
   PETE 
Perfect, perfect. 
   JACK 
“I want to talk to you about the office holiday party. I was thinking maybe the girls could come up with a little entertainment.” 
   CHRISSIE 
“What kind of entertainment?” 
   JACK 
“I don’t know, be Santa’s elves or something. Just look cute, let the guys sit on your laps.” 
   CHRISSIE 
“And tell us what they want for Christmas?” 
   JACK 
“Exactly!”    
(to Pete)I feel like I should stand here, because he’s had this great idea. 
   PETE 
I trust your gut, Jackie. Try it. 
(JACK gets up, and his tight pants leave nothing to the imagination. (Note: this is not an erection; Jack is just well endowed.) 
   PETE 
Jesus, Jack. 
   JACK 
What? 
(CHRISSIE indicates his groin.) 
   CHRISSIE 
“You can keep wearing those pants, mister, I’ll tell you that.” 
   PETE 
Jackie, Jackie, we talked about this. No more commando. 
   CHRISSIE 
Tightie whities time. 
   JACK 
They’re uncomfortable. 
   PETE 
How did I not notice that coming in? 
   CHRISSIE 
I guess you just weren’t looking. 
   PETE 
And you shouldn’t be looking either! Impressive as it is, Jack, your anatomy is a distraction. Have you seen the blogs? 
   CHRISSIE 
Someone called it a Ron-A-Long-A-Ding-Dong.
