LORENZO, ROBERT, ACE, BRYAN, MANNY, and HARRY are all in the bullpen at an Indianapolis Primitives game.
LORENZO
COTTON CANDY!!!!!!!!!!
BRYAN
I see somebody hasn’t changed.
ROBERT
Oh actually he has. Got elected to public office as a matter of fact.
BRYAN
He…what?
LORENZO
I LOVE COTTON CANDY!!!!!!!!!!!!
ACE
Lorenzo, are you okay?
HARRY
Don’t interact, just leave him alone.
MANNY
Can you make him some cotton candy, Harry?
HARRY
I don’t have the ingredients. Plus, making cotton candy is more Lorenzo’s thing.
LORENZO
I’ve been thinking about cotton candy all day, there’s yellow cotton candy which is my new favorite, but also green cotton candy is pretty good too, and blue cotton candy is an all-time classic, really all cotton candy is great except for sugar-free cotton candy, then there’s also—
ROBERT
Lorenzo. I’m exhausted.
LORENZO
Fine. I’ll go the rest of the game without saying a word about cotton candy.
ROBERT
I meant I’m exhausted because there was a five-hour rain delay so we’ve been here forever, but I’ll take it.
MANNY
So Bryan, are you back for good now?
BRYAN
I don’t know, I haven’t really thought about it. I guess so. Just don’t ask me to pitch.
MANNY
Don’t worry, I won’t. My goal is to make it through this game without letting any of you outside the boundaries of this bullpen.
HARRY
You are terrible at your job.
MANNY
I know.
A vendor selling cotton candy walks by the bullpen.
VENDOR
COTTON CANDY! GET YOUR COTTON CANDY HERE!
BRYAN
I don’t remember them ever coming this close to the bullpen.
ROBERT
Yeah, they usually don’t.
VENDOR
COTTON CANDY! GET IT NOW OR YOU’RE NOT A TRUE FAN!
LORENZO
So have you guys heard about the latest thing in the news?
ACE
The what?
HARRY
I think he’s trying to change the subject.
VENDOR
COTTON CANDY! GET YOUR COTTON CANDY! YELLOW COTTON CANDY LIMITED TIME ONLY!
LORENZO
So who wants to watch a game of baseball with me?
BRYAN
Not a huge fan.
VENDOR
COTTON CANDY! ONLY ONE LEFT!
LORENZO runs out of the dugout and to the cotton candy vendor. A little kid beats him there. LORENZO walks back to the bullpen.
ACE
Where’s the cotton candy?
LORENZO
Lost out on it to a little kid. Oh well, there’s plenty more where that came from in the lifetime supply SugarCity’s Kitchen gave me. I guess I lose the bet.
ROBERT
What bet?
LORENZO
Oh. Yeah, I guess we never did make a bet about it.
MANNY
Well if it makes you feel any better, I can have Harry cook you extra food next game.
HARRY
Oh great.
LORENZO
Deal! Good game everyone.
LORENZO leaves.
BRYAN
Doesn’t he know it’s only the fifth inning?
MANNY
Of course not. But once one of you leaves I might as well let you all leave.
Everyone leaves.
