Scenes from House of the Apes #3
INT. NIGHT. A large living room in a house in Somerville, Mass. Two twentysomething men are watching a football game and drinking beer. A promo for the D.C. Sniper movie comes on during a commercial break.
APE #1
You know Cynthia said her dad is a Montgomery County policeman.
APE #2
No way.
APE #1
Yeah.
APE #3 (entering from Kitchen with three beers in hand)
Hey you know Cynthia said her dad is a Montgomery County policeman.
APES 1 and 3 (in unison)
No shit! You’re a fucking genius.
APE #3 (confused)
But she said he’s retired.
APE #1
No way, she told me he was still a cop!
APE #3
No, I think she said he’s retired.
APE #1
Fuck you, she said he’s a cop.
APE #2
LET’S WAKE HER UP!
Fade to black.
Stay tuned for next week: The Lonely Beer-Swilling Ape.
