Sample Scene:
Taco Tattoo
By Jennifer Reif
(2 Friends)
A. Look at this! They’ve got a taco with sunglasses. I need that on my arm.
B. A taco tattoo?
A. Yeah! It’s hilarious! And who doesn’t love tacos?
B. True. But what if people ask you why you have a taco on your arm?
A. I’ll say he’s my personal bodyguard. “Back off! Señor Taco’s got spice!”
B. What happens when you get old and it starts to fade?
A. I’ll get a new one. Maybe pizza or an ice cream cone.
B. You’re making me hungry.
A. Do you want to get a tattoo with me?
B. I don’t think my mom will let me.
A. What if it says “Mom” with a heart around it?
B. I still don’t think she’d go for it.
A. Suit yourself. I’m ready for my taco.
B. That’s gonna hurt.
A. What do you mean?
B. The tattoo. They use needles, you know.
A. Needles?
B. Yeah.
A. On second thought, do you have a marker? Maybe I’ll just draw a taco on my arm.
