So there I am, walking up to this woman in a dress who just had
to be twenty-five, about to ask her if she had seen Barry, when
I heard someone yelling. And you know what? It sounded just like
Barry!
ALEXIS
Mark and I are going to run away together and get married. He
already has a job at a law firm set up in California.
JASON
So I head into the other room, walking right past that woman in
the dress. I want to say it was red, but I’m pretty sure it was
orange.
ALEXIS
I just wanted to let you know so you wouldn’t freak out when you
saw that all of my stuff was missing.
JASON
So I walked right past her and into the next room. I looked
around but I didn’t see Barry. So you want to know what I did?
ALEXIS
It’s your fault, really.
JASON
That’s right, I went into the next room. And when I didn’t see
him in there, I went into the next one, but he wasn’t there,
either! I would’ve checked upstairs, but I feel like you
shouldn’t go upstairs in someone else’s house without their
permission.
JASON gets back up, walks around the chair, and sits on the
back of it.
