Ash-Strong: A Love for the Ages

Act 3, Scene 1

Walgreens. John Mayer and Lance Armstrong continue to roam the desolate aisles of the national drug store chain. John attempts to comfort Lance in his misery, and comes up with an idea.

John

I have an idea.

Lance

I’m not surprised.

John

Lance, I have a lot of good ideas. Remember that one about the Sobe?

Lance

You mean five minutes ago when you told me you were thirsty?

John

And then proceeded to buy a Sobe, yes.

Lance

I don’t get your point.

John

I had a problem, I concocted a solution, I put said concoction into action, and now my thirst is quenched.

Lance

I don’t see how this relates to my life.

John

I have a solution to your problem.

Lance

Let’s hear it.

John

Twins.

Lance

Pardon?

John

Twin girls.

Lance

I am drowning in despair.

John

Correct. And do you see any twin girls anywhere near?

Lance

No…

John

Thus…

Lance

You are such an idiot. Are you high right now?

John

I’m high on genius. And I know some twins. Don’t say anything now, John. Just meet me at the corner of 189th and 3rd.

Lance

Are those even real streets?

John

Just meet me there.
