ONE
Lauren & Kristin's apartment, morning

Kristin (coming out of the bedroom)- Why don't ya just sleep on the floor! Ya keep endin' up there anyway!

Lauren (following her)- So I get a little restless! Sue me!

Kristin- I bet I'd win, too! (she sits at the table) You are spendin' way too much time with Lenny!

Lauren (sits at the table)- Oh and you don't spend alot of time with Squig!? Come on.

Kristin- Why did you answer with a maybe?

Lauren- Huh?

Kristin (rolls her eyes)- When you got "the question"!

Lauren- Well, because I just didn't wanna say yes or no. I just don't think I'm ready for yes yet.

Kristin- You've gotten close.

Lauren- Whadya mean by that!?

Kristin- Uh...

Lauren- Have you been sneaking into my journal?!

Kristin- Well...

Lauren- I don't believe it! I don't read yours! And don't act surprised that I know ya got one! (she gets up) I need some Pepsi.

Kristin- Now I know why you're not a morning person. (she gets up) I got a dance class in a half an hour. If I hurry, I'll make it on time! (she goes into the bedroom)

Lauren- And more broken plates for me.

TWO
Pizza Bowl, an hour later

Lauren is leaning against the counter.

Lenny (comes up next to her)- It's gonna be a slow day. (he sees that Lauren's not paying attention) Whassa matter?

Lauren- Huh?.. Oh, nothin'. I was just thinkin'.

Lenny- Oh. About what?

Lauren- A little nosy today?

Lenny- No, I just wanna know why you've been standin' here like a tree the last half hour.

Laverne and Shirley come in and sit at a table.

Lenny- Looks like they sat at one of your tables.

Lauren- Wanna swap?

Lenny- Go on. (he gives her a little push, then goes to the back room)

Lauren comes up to the girls' table)- Hi.

Laverne- Hey, Lauren.

Shirley- Hiya.

Lauren- Ya actually managed to get away from the brewery, huh?

Laverne- Yeah... and it looks like it was a good idea. There's no one else here!

Lauren- Girls, can I ask ya som'en?

Shirley- Sure... as long as it has nothing to do with smut. That's Laverne's department.

Lauren- Naw, it's nothing like that. (she pulls up a chair next to Laverne and sits) Whadya think of my maybe?

Shirley- What? I don't get it?

Laverne- Awe, Shirl, ya don't remember nothin'! Lenny asked her and she said maybe.

Shirley- Oh, that! It's a new answer, but I think it's okay.

Laverne- Me, too. You ain't gonna change it to a no, are ya?

Lauren- I couldn't do that, but I keep thinkin' about it. I've been so restless I keep ending up on the floor in the morning, Kristin said I should just sleep on the floor.

Shirley- Are you sure you couldn't? You can always say no, it's just a matter of if you want to and, in some cases, have to.

Laverne- Huh. And to think I slept like a baby the night after Len said he had a crush on me.

Lauren- Hm. (she gets up) You want the usual?

Laverne & Shirley- Sure.

Lauren turns away and goes behind the counter.

THREE
a little later

The girls are just finishing their pizza. Lenny comes over to their table.

Lenny (grabs a chair and sits where Lauren was earlier)- What was Lauren talkin' to ya about?

Laverne- Well...

Shirley (covers Laverne's mouth)- We really shouldn't. She just wanted our opinion on somethin'.

Lenny- On what? Me?

Laverne (bites on of Shirley's fingers)- Yeah...

Shirley (slaps her other hand on Laverne's motuh; to Laverne)- Will you shut up? (to Lenny) She'll tell you herself if she wants you to know, okay?

Lenny- Okay. (he gets up and goes behind the counter)

Laverne (takes Shirley's hand off her mouth)- Why'd you do that?

Shirley- Laverne, that would've hurt his feelings.

Laverne- Shirl, ya did that anyway! Or weren't you paying attention? (she stands up) Let's just go back to the brewery before we get asked anything else.

Shirley gets up and the two leave.

FOUR
Laverne & Shirley's apartment, evening

Laverne is sitting on the couch, watching TV. Shirley comes out of the bedroom.

Laverne- Don't you look nice.

Shirely- Carmine's taking me to a fancy restaurant.

Laverne- So fancy it don't have aname?

Shirley- I don't remember the name of it. I gotta get going. (she goes over to the door and opens it) Don't wait up for me. (she leaves)

Laverne- Don't wait up? Who's she kiddin'?

A few minutes later, the door flies open and Lenny comes in.

Laverne (surprised) Awe, Len, I thought it was Squig for a second there! I was about to get ready to throw him out!...

Lenny- Ya gotta tell me what Lauren was talkin' to you girls about!

Laverne- Well, she asked what we thought of her maybe. To me, she seemed really unsure about it. I dunno, maybe asking now was the wrong thing. I shoulda kept my mouth shut.

Lenny- Yeah, but I asked ya to help. Maybe I oughtta go and take it back. (he starts to get up)

Laverne- What!? (she grabs the back of his jacket and sits him down) Don't do that! That'll make her feel worse than she does now!

Lenny- Then what should I do?

Laverne- I'll talk to her. Maybe I can get farther into this since Shirl ain't here.

FIVE
a few minutes later

The door opens. Lenny pushes Lauren in the room and closes the door behind her.

Lauren- Laverne, what's goin' on? I mean, Len dragged me nearly all the way down here!

Laverne (stands)- I'm sorry about that. I told 'im to. I figured you and me could talk. Shirl's on a date and I thought it'd be easier.

Lauren- I just spent nearly the whole afternoon explaining to Kristin.

Laverne- So tell me!

Lauren (sighs)- I'm goin' back on my maybe.

Laverne- You're what?

Lauren- I'm gonna say no...

O.S. Lenny- What!?

Lauren- You set me up! (she goes over and opens the door to find Lenny sitting on the stairs) I don't believe this!

Laverne- Oh, boy. (she sits on the couch)

Lenny- That's fine. I was gonna take it back anyway.

Lauren- you're kidding? Well, atleast we agree on this. (she starts out the door) Excuse me. (she pushes past Lenny and goes up the stairs)

Laverne (turns to face Lenny)- I'm sorry.

Lenny- Wasn't your fault. (he stands up) It was mine. (he goes up the stairs)

Laverne (turns back to the TV)- Can't we get any happy scripts? (she glares at the author) {What? Who? Me?}

SIX
middle of the night, outside

Lauren is sitting out on the stoop. {Atleast she thought of grabbing a coat... it's onlu about 15 or 20 degrees out there.}

Lenny (comes out the door)- Hiya.

Lauren (gazing down the street)- How'd ya know I was out here?

Lenny- I saw ya out the window. (he goes over next to her) Can I sit?

Lauren- Sure, if ya don't mind cold cement. (she moves over a little bit)

There's an awkward silence.

Lenny- I shouldn't've asked.

Lauren (finally looks at him)- I loved hearing it, but I just didn't have an answer. Maybe we oughtta go back to the way things were before?

Lenny- Yeah, what better place to do that.

Lauren- I'm feeling dejá vu comin' on. (she stands up) We oughtta go in... before you tell me to close my eyes again.

Lenny gets up and they go in the building.

SEVEN
Lauen & Kristin's apartment

Lauren eases the door open and finds Kristin sitting on the couch staring at the door.

Lauren (grins at her)- What're you doin' up?

Kristin- Watchin' the soap opera. (returns the grin)

Lauren- I should make ya give me 3 bucks for that.

Kristin- So, everything's okay.

Lauren- Yeah... other than the fact we decided to start over.

Krsitin- That's too bad. Atleast now you can use your journal instead of writing in it. (she grins again)

Lauren- I'm gonna use it alright... to throw at you! (she starts chasing Kristin around the room)
