Two girls, LAURALEE and TALLY, mid-20’s, are sunning themselves in Central Park. Expensive Bikinis. Expensive Shades.
A moment of sun.

TALLY
Hey Lauralee?

LAURALEE
Yeah?

TALLY
How old were you when you made love to a homeless man for the first time?

(Pause. LAURALEE sits up. Removes her shades. Chews them. Thinks.)

LAURALEE
17.

TALLY
Oh.

LAURALEE
You?

TALLY
Same.
