Act 3SCENE 1

Kappa Kappa Tau

[Enter Pete and Chad, mid conversation]

CHAD: For your own sake, I would forget about Chanel. After this weekend, she’ll be mine for sure.

PETE: I pity you. Chanel wants nothing to do with you, your peanut brain, or not to mention your tiny…

CHAD: Don’t you dare say it! We aren’t called the Dickie Dollar Scholars for nothing.

PETE: I bet I can guess where the dollars go. Even I know that charities don’t accept singles.

1

CHAD: You know what Pete, I think that you're upset that the Dickie Dollar Scholars don’t welcome poor inbred baristas.

PETE: Sirrah, I will not bear these braves of thine.

CHAD: Dude, what are you saying? Speak English.Your nerd talk is bumming me out.

PETE: Don’t insult me. I was just about to…

[Enters Chanel]

CHANEL: Boys, that’s enough of your petty arguing. I have a colonic at 2, so let’s make this quick.

2

CHAD: Sorry Chanel, I just thought I would stop by to help you with your anatomy.

PETE: Please, Chad. You have a C in that class.

CHAD: So, Chanel has a D. Do you not care anything about her?

PETE: Of course I care about Chanel. That is why I am here to help her not fail Spanish.

CHANEL: ENOUGH! I am sick and tired of listening to you two fight like a couple of caged peras. Pete, you can tutor me first. Chad, maybe you should wait until after the colonic.

CHAD: On second thought, your anatomy is quite in tune. All but the bass.

PETE: Did you seriously just say that?

3

CHAD: I’m just kidding. Chanel knows that I am all about that bass! That bass is fine. That bass is smoking. That bass…

CHANEL: Did I ask you to pull down my panties and blow a compliment up my butt?

CHAD: Sorry Chanel. [to Pete] She’s all yours. I’ll just watch.

PETE: Thank you. [to Chanel] So, why don’t we begin with some vocabulario

CHANEL: That sounds noy bweno

PETE: Do you mean “muy bueno”

CHANEL: That’s what I said stupid.

4

PETE: We have a lot of work to do.

CHANEL: If you don’t want to help me, than you can...

PETE: I absolutely want to help you. We just need to start with the basics.

CHANEL: If you want, I can call for Chanels 2,3, and 5. They are the most basic bi**hes I know.

PETE: That’s not what I meant, forget it.

CHANEL: I still think you’re useless.

PETE: [to Chad] I am done trying to get through to her. You can have her, I’m done. [aloud] I have to go.

[Pete runs out of the room]

CHANEL: What’s his problem?

CHAD: I don’t know. Probably another one of his nervous erections.

CHANEL: Ew, that’s disgusting. Anyways, I think we should continue with…

MS. BEAN: Miss Chanel, your Uber is here to pick you up for your appointment.

CHANEL: Shut up Bean. God, you are so annoying. [to Chad] Maybe we can pick up with this later tonight.

CHAD: You bet we can. I am going to teach you some hardcore anatomy facts. See you later, Chanel.
