JASON pauses for an answer, but none comes, so he continues.
JASON( CONT’ D) So there I was, sharing a beer with my old chum, Barry, when I noticed that my new watch was missing. I set down my drink, and asked Barry to excuse me while I went to go find it.
ALEXIS turns her attention back to her phone.
ALEXIS( Sarcastically.) Yeah?
JASON So there I was, walking around the party, but this time without Barry. Barry was by the table, keeping an eye on my drink for me. Barry is such a nice-
ALEXIS( Looking up from her phone, annoyed.) Alright, I get it. Barry was holding your drink while you went to look for your watch. Where is it?
JASON Ah, yes, the watch. So there I was, looking for my watch at the party without Barry.
ALEXIS rolls her eyes and sighs. She starts looking at her phone again as JASON continues with his story.
JASON( CONT’ D) I was looking at the floor because obviously, that’ s where my watch would be if I had lost it at the party. Unless someone picked it up, which would mean that I was looking in all the wrong places, haha.
ALEXIS( To no one.) This is pretty.
