CHARLIE
Not as silly as some. You know the silliest one? …… that we are gods. That we control events on the beach…… that we can turn back time……
She moves in close.
CHARLIE
Want to play the game?
MAVERICK
How does it go?
CHARLIE
You say the truth.
(a beat)
Go ahead. Don’’t be afraid. You want to win the game, don’’tcha?
MAVERICK
What truth?
CHARLIE
The big one. The one that’’s most on your mind.
A long pause…… it comes hard.
MAVERICK
Goose is dead.
CHARLIE
(she nods)
True.
MAVERICK
Now?
CHARLIE
Take something off.
MAVERICK
Off me or off you?
CHARLIE
That’’s up to you.
He takes the ribbon from her hair. It falls down over her face and shoulders. Now it’’s her turn.
CHARLIE
It’’s dangerous…… what you do.
He nods. She slowly loosens his tie and pulls it from around his neck.
MAVERICK
It was my fault.
She says nothing, stands looking into his eyes. He slowly, as if in a trance, takes her blouse off.
CHARLIE
You can’’t bring him back.
She takes off his shirt.
MAVERICK
It was my fault.
He starts to reach for her. She pulls back.
CHARLIE
Nope. Already used that.
She turns and thinks for a moment, looking at the moon.
CHARLIE
Your life goes on.
Rather than struggle his T-shirt over his head, she grabs it with both hands. She leans in close and bites it. She grabs both sides of the tear and slowly rips it off his body.
MAVERICK
What does it mean?
CHARLIE
(shakes her head no)
That wasn’’t fair. It was a question. Penalty round!
She drops her skirt.
CHARLIE
You didn’’t mean it. You didn’’t think. You’’d do anything to take it back.
MAVERICK
That’’s three.
CHARLIE
And that’’s one!
She unbuckles his belt, slowly slides it off. She unzips his pants, they fall.
MAVERICK
One more.
CHARLIE
Your watch.
She unbuckles it.
MAVERICK
You owe me one.
He rests his head on her shoulder, unhooks her bra. She shrugs it off.
They stand on the beach in shorts and bikini bottom, looking into each other’’s eyes.
CHARLIE
Looks like a tie.
MAVERICK
Who’’s gonna win?
CHARLIE
We’’ll say it together. On the count of three…… One…… two……
Leaning in, softer and harder…… they both jump the gun.
