COLD OPEN
Jackson: What you gonna do now? You have no other options… How many times do I have to tell you, let the king handle the business and the queen should lay back and kick it at home. But no, she has to be one of those new age feminist queens. All up in the mix… Now look, you’re stuck up you know what kind of creek without a paddle.
Ryan gets up to leave. Jackson is still looking at the board in amazement.
Jackson: How didn’t I see that coming?
Ryan: Even king Alexander couldn’t figure out the mind of Queen Cleopatra… That, and the fact that you’re stupid.
Jackson: I just got stuck on a certain move!
Ryan: It’s OK. I can lend you that paddle you were talking about.
JACKSON: I want a divorce…Again!
Opening sequence begins.
ACT 1
SCENE A
INT: JACKSON AND RYANS LIVING ROOM.
JACKSON IS SHUFFELING THROUGH A PILE OF PAPERS. RYAN IS WALKING QUICKLY DOWN THE STAIRS AND PUTTING ON HER JACKET AT THE SAME TIME.
JACKSON: Where are you going in such a rush?
RYAN: I told you yesterday, Coco and I have an appointment at the spa. We’re getting the works, the full package… I’m so excited. I really need this right now.
Jackson: Is this the same new, trendy, upscale spa you were telling me about a while ago?
RYAN: (smiling) Yep that’s the one!
JACKSON: (smiling) Exactly how much do one of these packages cost?
RYAN: You can put a price-tag on peace of mind
JACKSON: That much huh?
RYAN: I think I hear Coco outside…
JACKSON: Relax, it’s not that serious… I only want the best for my wife… You’re not paying full price are you?
