Diet

Scene: Living room of an apartment. Two roommates sit on a couch.

BEAT 1
1: I think I'm gonna start a new diet.

2: Oh yeah? Which one?

1: Well I think I'm gonna combine the apple diet with the Atkins diet with South Beach and the Cabbage Soup diet.

2: Hmm, well good luck with that. Listen, speaking of, I'm heading to the gym in a couple minutes. Wanna go?

1: Ooh, I would but, I really need to get started reading all these diet books that I got at the library!

2: Oh, ok.

BEAT 2

2: Well, I guess I should get moving. I'm gonna go to a cycling class after work, you wanna go?

1: Mmm, I can't. I need to go to the grocery store to basically restock my whole side of the fridge and pantry. I have a list that takes up 3 pages! Really excited! Hit me up next time.

BEAT 3

1: Hey have you seen my jug of apple cider vinegar? I completely forgot to take my shot of it this morning and now I have to take 3 shots of it and eat a white onion whole in order to make up for the missed metabolism boost for the day. Which reminds me, I gotta find my swimming goggles.

2: (messing with a laptop) Um... no, but I'll keep my eyes open for it. Or my nose. Awesome, just finished making a new high energy song list. I'm gonna go for a run, see if it helps. Let's go to Runyon Canyon for a run.

1: I totally would, but I have a group meeting for dieting enthusiasts. Should be helpful. Let's do something tomorrow.

BEAT 4
2: Hey check out this flyer I picked up today. Free yoga classes for a week, just around the corner. Looks like they have a class in about an hour, we should check it out.

1: Yoga is a waste of time, there's not enough cardio involved. You know me, I have to have my hard core cardio. Besides, I'm supposed to do my hour of power then.

2: Your hour of power?

1: Oh yeah, it's where for an entire hour I drink as much beet juice and prune juice as I can to clean out my colon. I have to be standing still the whole time too. Should be good.

2: Wow.

BEAT 5

2: Hey you remember that guy we met about a month ago, the one who works the desk at Bally Fitness?

1: Um, yeah, kinda.

2: Well, I ran into him at Starbucks. He told me he just finished his personal training certification and he's taking on new clients for free for a whole month to try to promote himself. He said to stop in later tonight to sign up. This is way too good to pass up, you gotta do it with me.

1: What's with you and exercising?
