I need just a little help with this scene. I need a good witty line at the end. Where PHILLIP says, "Oh honey. We both needed a real man." I need that to be funnier. Help?
Lights up on up left. DOUG is smoking a cigarette. PHILLIP races in. He sees DOUG smoking and sighs.
PHILLIP. I thought you were trying to quit.
DOUG. I did. I quit.
PHILLIP. Then what is that in your hand?
DOUG. Nothing. There’s nothing in my hand. [Silence.] Just pretend it isn’t there.
Phillip sighs. A tense silence.
DOUG. How could he? How can he just show his face here and expect.. Whatever.
PHILLIP. [Puts his hands on DOUG’s face.] You have just as much, if not more to offer then that girl will ever be able to give to him. Come here. [He draws DOUG into an embrace.]
DOUG. I know, it’s just.. Thanks. That really means a lot. [Silence. He breaks the hug.] Why did you and I ever break up?
PHILLIP. Oh honey. We both needed a real man. You coming in?
DOUG. Soon.
