Peter... Billy Bob Thornton
Dating Counselor... Ana Gasteyer
[Scene opens in an office. A sign, "Special Friends
Dating Service" is on the wall. Two people sit at a table.]
Counselor: So, Mr. Butler, this is your first time
here at Special Friends?
Peter: [nervously] Yes, that's correct.
Counselor: You have nothing be nervous about, Mr.
Butler. Our trained counselors have set up many, many successful relationships
over the years.
We specialize in tailoring the needs of two people into a wonderful and loving
pairing.
You are in very good hands here.
Peter: [relieved] Oh, that's a relief. I'm a little
shy about this whole process. I... I've never really been to a dating service
before.
Counselor: Well, we are a little different here than
most services. The Special Friends organization specializes in finding perfect
matches
for our female clients. We are a female-run organization with a special
emphasis on our
esteemed female clientele. We like to think of ourselves as above the rest.
Peter: You only deal with women?
Counselor: [chuckling] Well, obviously we need some
men in the equation as well. That is why men like you come in here. We seek
to find very
special men to match up with our very special ladies. Perhaps you are one of
them?
Peter: [bashful] Oh, I don't know. I'm just your
average, ordinary guy.
Counselor: Can you tell me some of your dating
history? I just want to get an idea of what kind of background you are coming
from.
Peter: Well, there's not a whole lot to tell. I got
married at 20. We stayed together for fifteen years, and we recently
separated. It was...
it was very hard. [He starts to sniffle]
Counselor: [holding his hand] Oh, I'm so sorry to
hear that. You sound like a very sensitive person.
Peter: [wiping his eyes] Yes, I have always been
sensitive. I'm what you call a thinker. An introvert.
Counselor: This whole process must be hard for you.
Peter: [shyly] Yes, this is the hardest thing I have
ever done. It's hard to open up your heart to the possibility of finding love
again.
Counselor: Well, can you tell me what sort of traits
you looking for in your special lady?
Peter: [pausing to think it over] That's a hard
question for me to answer. I mean, every lady is different. There are good and
bad things in
all of them. Maybe her smile?
Counselor: [smiling] That's sweet.
Peter: But then again, a sense of humor is very
important as well. Oh! And so is loyalty and honesty. And a strong sense of
family. Oh... I
don't know what would be my top criteria. I'm new to this!
Counselor: Take your time. Think it over. I know
this is an important decision.
Peter: I know. Intelligence!
Counselor: [nodding] Okay, let me note that on your
dating checklist.
Peter: No, wait! [very long pause] I got it. The
most important trait for my special lady is breast size.
Counselor: [a little angry] What?
Peter: I mean, all things are important. Smile,
sense of humor, intelligence. But without a nice set of hoo-hahs it really
doesn't matter, does
it?
Counselor: [very long pause] Mr. Butler, are you
sure you don't want to reconsider? I'm not sure that "breast size" is an
appropriate criteria
for this process.
Peter: [embarrassed] Oh, you're right. [puts his hand
over his face] I'm so embarrassed.
Counselor: It's okay. I know you are a little
nervous, it's understandable.
Peter: What I meant to say was breast fullness. You
know, like how round they are. [He demonstrates by cupping his hands around
imaginary
breasts on himself] Size isn't really that important without some depth to
them. You know?
You really want to have a good handful.
Counselor: [very long pause as she stares at him]
Yes, sir, I know what you are saying. I am just trying to point out that there
are many more
important traits than the size and fullness of a woman's breasts.
Peter: What about breast density?
Counselor: No.
Peter: Breast thickness?
Counselor: No.
Peter: Real versus implants?
Counselor: No!
Peter: Overall breast quality?
Counselor: [mad] No!!
Peter: Come on! You're shooting down all my
criteria! Is that how a dating service operates?! Do I have to pick a girl
that YOU want?
Give me a chance here!
Counselor: Mr. Butler, why don't we skip physical
attributes and perhaps move on to personality. Would that be okay?
Peter: Sure, I guess.
Counselor: Would you say you prefer a lady who is
more demure? Or perhaps one who is more direct?
Peter: I don't know. It doesn't really matter to me
if she's got a nice rack.
Counselor: Could you tell me ANYTHING about the
personality of the lady you are seeking?
Peter: [thinking it over] Well, I would have to say
that she appreciates the nicer things in life.
Counselor: There, that's better.
Peter: And she can't be uptight. If there's anything
I hate, it's them frigid bitches.
[The counselor sits and stares at the floor, angrily]
Counselor: Anything else you would like to note on
your preference sheet?
Peter: No, that's about it.
Counselor: Very well, I will make sure to run your
application through...
Peter: [interrupting] Oh wait! She has to have an
open mind about wild, freaky sex. Someone who won't shoot down an idea just
because it
is illegal.
Counselor: [after a very long pause] All done?
Peter: What else is there?
Counselor: So let me get this straight. You are
looking for a very classy lady with "large, full hoo-hahs", willingness to
engage in
illicit sex games, and isn't a "frigid, uptight bitch."
Peter: Wow, you make it sound so special. Do you
really think my Sleeping Beauty is out there?
Counselor: Mr. Butler, I have to be honest with you.
I will run your request through our computer, but I have to say that I do not
feel that
our services will be appropriate for you at this time.
Peter: Is my request too specific? I could take out
the freaky sex stuff if that helps.
Counselor: It certainly wouldn't hurt.
Peter: Okay, take the sex stuff out. I could always
pay for that, anyway. I don't care what type of lady I find, so long as she is
special
and she has a gigantic pair of melons.
Counselor: Mr. Butler, this consultation is over.
Please see yourself out. [she stands up and walks out.]
