DREAMER

LOVE WITH THE PERFECT SUPERMODEL

KENNETH is unrealistic and immature for his age. He’s not ready for a real romantic relationship, so he dreams of celebrities and models instead.

Are you in love or something? That’s so weird. No way! I’ve never been in love. I can’t even imagine. Shut up! I am not a loser! I am waiting for my Playboy model to come along. Oh, she will. Believe me. High school girls don’t do it for me. I want like an Ashton/Demi-type thing. An older woman. I think that’s sexy! You don’t? You mean, if a hot, older woman like Angelina Jolie came along, and she was into you, you’d be like, “No thanks, I’ve got this high school girlfriend. I’m not interested.” That’s what you’d say? Now that’s crazy, and you know it. No way would anyone say no to Angelina Jolie—those lips, that smokin’ body? You must be in love. That’s just crazy. If Angelina Jolie comes up to me, I would be like, “Hell, yeah, baby, let’s go!” It could happen! It could! Shut up. Like you know about women. Give me a break.

 

PARADISE

SUZANNA lives in Minnesota and dreams of year-round tropical weather. She works to get her mother to see her point of view.

Can we move to Hawaii? Why not? I am being serious. I don’t see why not. Just get a job there. How hard could it be? Think about it, Mom. Theoretically, you could live anywhere. All you need is a job. So if you could live anywhere, where would you go? Hawaii, right? I’ve had enough of these snowy winters. I don’t want to do this anymore. Can you imagine never having to wear a coat? Or shovel a sidewalk? Sounds good, doesn’t it? We could sit on the beach having drinks with umbrellas in them. Mine would be alcoholic, of course. And I would wear a bikini with a coconut top. Man, that’s the life. We don’t have that much stuff; it would be easy to pick up and go. If I looked for jobs for you on the Internet, would you consider it? It can happen, Mom. You have to think positive. Just keep thinking about those sandy beaches, Mom, every time you step out into the snow. We could live in paradise if we just worked on it a little.
