MISS MACINERNIE
(cutting him off)
I'm sorry, dear. I've gotten off
track. So, tell me about this job
interview. What advice can I give
you that I haven't given you
before? Be yourself. Be
confident. Be bright and winning!
(pauses)
Does he have a hot ass?
VERL
(looking back between the
INTERVIEWER and Miss
Mac.)
Who?
MISS MACINERNIE
The president.
VERL
I don't know. I've never seen it
before.
MISS MACINERNIE
It's a well-known fact that
presidents must be given a bit of
oral servicing now and then. When
doing so, I recommend that you
pretend you're in a ball park,
enjoying a foot long and a cool,
refreshing beer. Can't you just
hear them, root, root, rooting for
the home team? Oh, look, it's a
line-drive double!
(The INTERVIEWER then gets
up again and exist. Not
even acknowledging Verl
or Miss Mac.)
VERL
(confused)
What?...I'm not doing that!
But...what if he's sitting down?
What if he doesn't have a not so
nice fanny? Maybe he'll think I'm
a Homo-s-e-x-ual.
(to himself, flatly)
I can't believe she didn't hear or
see this.
MISS MACINERNIE
And maybe he'll think you're a
hottie and should be his love
slave! Karen Carpenter. Arlen
Spector. It's a known fact that
Sly Stallone is a boy-toy for the
Pope!
VERL
Firstly, I don't think the Pope is
allowed to swing that ...oh!
That's not important! Truth be
told, I am not a Homo S-E-X-ual!
MISS MACINERNIE
You're not? Haven't you had sexual
relations with men before?
(confused)
Who the hell am I? Connie Chung?
VERL
(sheepishly)
No, no. You're still you.
MISS MACINERNIE
Thank heavens! Now, dear. We
talked about Holly's delusional
ways before, haven't we?
VERL
Holly? What does she have to do
with any of this?
MISS MACINERNIE
She said you've had sex with men at
least 28 times.
VERL
(shocked)
I most certainly have not!
MISS MACINERNIE
Now, Verlycue, are we now Cleo,
queen of denial?
VERL
(stumbling)
It would be more accurate to say
that I've had sex with a toilet
stall-wall 28 times.
MISS MACINERNIE
And how did THAT happen, sweetums?
VERL
All I did was follow the
instructions on the wall! "For a
good time, put
your...Richard...here". I didn't
know it was a S-e-x thing! It was
a public bathroom-I thought it was
another example of our tax dollars
at work, a social service...
MISS MACINERNIE
That's exactly what George Michael
said, that "wake me up before you
go-go" boy.
VERL
But you can understand my
confusion, can't you? I don't
consider it s-e-x; it was more like
a...a... misrepresentation.
MISS MACINERNIE
Have you been misrepresented by a
woman before?
VERL
Not that I know of.
(thinking to himself)
Unless one of them on the other
side of the stall was in drag.
