Play A Day

Post Secret: Ricky Ricardo was the first man that I ever fell in love with. I was six.

Lights come up on GRACEY sitting in front of teleivision, she is sitting so close, her nose is almost pressed up against the screen. She is watching I Love Lucy.

TV
Lucy, I'm home!

GRACEY sighs.

TV
Oh, Ricky, you home!

GRACEY rolls her eyes. She touches the screen where RICKY'S face is and sighs. BROTHER 1 and BROTHER 2 enter, GRACEY does not notice. BROTHER 1 and BROTHER 2 are silently laughing at GRACEY

GRACEY
Oh, Ricky, I wish I could meet you. [pause] I love you...

BROTHER 1 and BROTHER 2
OOOH! Gracey and Ricky sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G! First come loves then comes marriage, then comes a baby in baby carriage!

BROTHER 1
GRACEY LOVES RICKY RICARDO!

GRACEY
Shut up, I do not!

BROTHER 2
[mocking]
Oh Ricky, I love you so much!!!

GRACEY
SHUT UP!

BROTHER 1
Ricky, why don't you run away from Lucy and marry me?!

GRACEY
LEAVE ME ALONE! I'LL TELL MOM!

BROTHER 2 turns around and starts making, making out noises and running his hands down his own back.

BROTHER 2
[while making out with himself]
Oh Ricky! Oh Ricky I love you!

GRACEY
[storming off]
MOM!!!!!

Lights black out.
