SCENE ONE

PUBLIC BENCH, HOSPITAL COURTYARD – 9:30 AM

It is a crisp, New England morning. An old antique bench adored with a plaque detailing the lifespan of the hospital’s founder faces the entrance as patients wander in and out of the sliding glass doors. The weather is sunny.

PATRICK TEX, otherwise known as the eponymous TEX, M.D., a haggard but well-dressed man in his early forties sits down on the bench, purposely obscuring the plaque, and spreads a newspaper across his lap opened at the editorials page. A shorter man approaches the bench. He is WALLACE RETRO, TEX’S colleague and unwitting partner in crime. RETRO folds his arms, as if waiting to be noticed.


TEX
(sighs)
Hmm…

RETRO peers at him with more scrutiny.


TEX
(smirks)
Ah…

RETRO
(shakes his head)
Alright, you win. Now how about we talk about your problem?

TEX
(sarcastically)
I just can’t seem to find a good price for the old manhood booster.

RETRO
(rubbing mouth)
Funny, really, but of all days to act… weird, you choose the biggest commemorative hospital holiday of the year: the boss’ birthday. And on that very same day, you’re not working, you’re—you’re—is that the new decorative memorial you’re sitting on?—what are you doing? If you’re going to be weird, at least tell me. Who else is going to cover for you?

TEX
(laughing)
It’s only relatively weird.

A concerned look crosses TEX’S face.


TEX
Or is the dead guy coming back?

RETRO
(laughing)
And here I thought you were just trying to get out of work. But you’re trying to get across some diabolical plan that proves celebrating this guy is as much of a waste of time as you sitting on a bench! It’s genius?

TEX gets up and shoots RETRO a grin.


TEX
Now who’s the weird one?

RETRO
(taken aback)
He’s got me thinking up his schemes for him.

TEX
(feigning outrage)
Get to work! I’ll tell Dev on you. I have three henchman to direct.

TEX exits leaving RETRO running his hands through his hair.

I know it seems a little lackluster and predictable, but the parody won't start taking form until the next scene. Also, forums aren't format-friendly.

This left me chuckling, good work so far! I'm interested in what's next!

I really do wish the forums were a bit more format friendly. It would make posting stories much easier and less time consuming.
