"A Little Romance" 

Synopsis: After a few years of marriage, a wife still needs a little romance, is that asking too much? Time: 10-15 minutes

At Rise: Man working on Computer or writing. Wife comes in humming, sprays perfume in the air around him.

He: (Sniffs, not looking up) Woo Honey... open a window, something stinks and is making me feel sick to my stomach.

She:  (sighs with disappointment, puts perfume away, walks around then goes behind him and ruffles his hair,starts singing, off tune) " And I... I....will always love yoooouuuu" (Whitney Houston)"

He: Ah Honey... better close the window now, I think I hear the cats squalling again, it's awful.. I can't consentrate.

She: (defensively)Excuse me!! That was me singing! That used to be you're favorite love song.

He: (glances up and smiles)Oh sorry, I didn't recognize it, it used to sound more..... well it used to... have a sort of.... melody. (looks back down at his work)

She: (trying to overlook his rudeness, says hopefully) Honey, let's go out for a loooong stroll in the moonlight tonight. Want to?

He: (Doesn't look up) Nah, I can't.... I need to work on my project. It's almost finished.

She:  (loses patience)LUTHER! I am trying to put a little romance back into our marriage!

He: (looks up innocently) Huh?  Ah Honey... we don't need romance, we've got the real thing.(smiles and winks)

She scowls at him...
