SCENE: N.Y. APARTMENT

(Boys rush in after school.)

SAM

We’re going to try out for the fifth-grade musical—“Guys and Dolls.”

LEE

My favorite musical. I saw the original production when I was just about your age.

GABE

You saw the original? Wow.

LEE

Yup. When I was a kid, the Broadway shows did out-of-town tryouts … in Philadelphia before opening in New York. I was sitting way up in the back of the balcony at the Shubert Theatre watching Nicely Nicely sing “Sit Down You’re Rockin’ The Boat,” and I said, ‘That’s what I want to do!’”

SAM

Be a gambler?

LEE

Be in the theater. Write a musical like that.

SAM

I’m gonna try out for Nicely Nicely.

GABE

I’m gonna try out for Sky Masterson.

LEE

Wouldn’t that be something if you were both in the show that made me fall in love with show business?

GABE

There’s only one problem.

LEE

What?

GABE

If I get the part of Sky, I have to kiss a girl.

LEE

What’s wrong with that?

GABE

On stage? In front of hundreds of people?

SAM

Come on, Gabe … you don’t have to mean it. It’s just a play.
