Lola – French;
Dora – English;
Medy – American;
Pierre – French;
Waitress – smart.
The action takes place in a night club in Monte Carlo. Colorful lights are placed on Lola who is the first to arrive. She stands in front of a table on which is an ashtray. In the back of the table is a red velvet couch. Lola is dressed elegantly and wears a big hat.


Scene 1

Lola (tacking of her gloves): They are late again! Or, maybe I’m too early! No, I’m punctual! I need to unwind, because I work all the time. Just now I was to an important meeting with my manicurist and before that I went shopping, the worst part was that my carrier boy called in sick and I had to buy less clothes so I could carry them to my Mercedes. Since I’ve made it in Hollywood I’ve been so busy with making my picture ‘Ka-ching!’ and meeting with my new colleagues that I left my old friends last on my list. I really couldn’t tell Tom Cruise off, it wouldn’t have been nice of me. My last ‘meeting’ was with Nicole Kidman and Halle Barry. Cheri Halle, but the blond, the blond gets on my nerves. She practically stole my role from ‘Cold Mountain’! Jude Law had to be my leading man! Oh crape! I have to live my good news for the girls! Oh, here they come!
Medy (dressed casually, not rushing at all): Wassup girl?
Dora (dressed formally, rushing to embrace Lola): My darling! How have you been?
They kissed and set on the couch: first Medy, then Lola and Dora.



Scene 2

Dora (gesturing): How you’ve changed! Hollywood has changed our good friend?
Lola: Of course! I’ve changed in better! You heard about my latest film, no? The one in which…, I have an important role, of course!
Dora: Of course!
Lola: My actual role, in “Ka-ching!” is perfect for me; it has a certain ‘je ne se qui’! But I can play any kind of role, of course!
Medy: Of course!
Lola (lighting her cigar): But what about you darlings?
Dora: I finished my divorce… finally! Now I have a Rivera motorboat! I have no interest in it and I’m thinking of selling it to buy another Mercedes Mclaren.
Lola: I hear Brad Pit has one of those.
Medy (chewing gum): 500000 $, no?
Dora: Yes. Mine is a week old. You know, he, bought it for my birthday. What a fool! He didn’t think that I couldn’t do anything with it after I divorced him and took all his money!
Medy: Some men…!
Lola: They just don’t think of us! Of what we need! They should be instructed!
Dora: Of course!
Medy: I kept my last husband on a rented island for a month. When we got on the private plane he promised me he will be good and buy me anything that I want, but only if we never do that again.
Dora: I believe him! For 25000 $/ day!
Lola: And no one to talk to!
Medy: But I was with him!
Dora: Yes dear, we understand!
Lola: Maybe he made friends with a parrot! (Whispered to Dora)
Dora: Or he domesticated goats! (She whispered back, both giggling)
Medy: Here comes the waitress.
The waitress comes in to the reserved room and asks what they will have.
Dora: Let’s have a sparkling wine, shall we!
Medy: What ever!
Lola: Yes, a marvelous idea! Crystal champagne!
W: Anything else?
Lola: I would like the usual!
W: Coming up!




Scene 3

As soon as the waitress went a man came. Elegantly dressed.
He looks at the girls and makes a surprised face. Lola had the same expression.
The man: Is it really you?
Medy: Which one of us is real?
The man: The one in the middle! I mean Lola!
Lola (acting seriously and tensioned): I think you are making a mistake!
The man: Of course it’s been a while! I’m Pierre, Pierre… the one who…
Lola: Yes, yes I think I remember you. But how you said it’s been a long time and it will grow longer, no?
Pierre: Now that I see you, I can’t believe I’ve let you go…, but ma cherry how have you been?
Lola: Tres bon merci. Now if you will excuse us we were having a conversation.
Dora: Wait! Why don’t you present us to your friend?
Lola: Oh, he’s just an old acquaintance, twice removed!
Pierre: Permit me to introduce myself. I’m Pierre, a painter in search of a muse. Just my luck I’ve found three and I don’t know which to choose.
Lola: None of us would give you that privilege so if you don’t mind please leave.
Pierre: I see that you are still mad with me.
Medy: How could you be mad at him?
Dora: Yes, how could you?
Pierre: Well darlings she didn’t like the portrait I drew of her. A beautiful sketch, if I do say so my self.
Lola: That happened when I was much younger and corruptible.
Medy: Just like in the Titanic, how romantic! (Giggling with Dora)
Lola: It would have been more romantic if you went down with the ship, (whispering) you perverse!
The champagne arrived, and the ice cream for Lola as well. As the waitress came in the room Pierre made her throw the ice cream on Lola, who started yelling:
Lola: You stupid, clumsy fool, look at what you’ve done to my expensive outfit! I should have your head for this! (Roaring like crazy)
W: Sorry miss, it was ice, it was supposed to slip and melt on ‘hot’ things.
Medy (Calm): You ordered ice scream?
Lola (Pissed off, with a smile): Yes, it’s my favorite! Gold ice cream toped with caviar. Want a bite? (She gets up to go to the bathroom)
Medy: No thanks!
Dora: Likewise I’m sure!
Pierre: I would like a taste!
They were stupefied.
Pierre: Not to bad for 1000$! (Said he cleaning Lola with a napkin)
Lola (Revolted and cleaning her sleeves on him): You can have it all!
Pierre: Merci!
Medy: Anyway! I heard that Gucci and Versace were in a big battle for the summer-autumn collections this year.
Pierre: No! Versace doesn’t stand a chance. And besides D&G are toasted this year. Not even Ashanti buys there cloths.
Medy: So what do you do besides painting naked bodies?
Pierre: I’m reach and single what can I do but relax. Last month I spent it on the marvelous ship Queen Mary 2. You know its 800 mil. $, but it’s worth all the money.
Medy: Myself I spent 24000$ for a night in Vegas just to calm down in the ritziest hotel. I’m so busy with all my concerts and making my album, it just wares me out, you know?
Pierre: What a lot of shit! Everyone knows that singers just sit on there rears and let the computers sing!
Medy: True, but as long as I get money I’m glad just sitting on my butilitious behind.
Pierre: And you, what is your source of wealth?
Dora: I own a jewelry company. And besides I’ve divorced my third husband and I’m filthy rich.
Pierre: Good for you! (Lola comes back from the toilet. She is much more relaxed and determined to impress with her style.)
Pierre: La diablesse retour!
Lola: Mon cher! It’s so good to see you again!
Pierre: Olalla! Lola has returned! I was just preparing to chouse my next victim but now I see you and I’m delighted by your wet blouse!
Lola: Stop flattering me! Pick one of my friends. Medy, Dora they are perfect for you.
Pierre makes a photo of them imagining them in one of his art works.
(Lola’s phone rings)
‘Hello? Yes, dear! Of course! Meet you there!’
Lola: It was Nicole. I have to go to a party organized by Leo Dicaprio. I have no desire to go but if I don’t, who will be the light of the party?
Dora: Of course!
Medy: You are right, but I think you should punish her for taking your role!
Lola: No I’m going to forgive and forget! Besides she will be showing off her new, filled bra.
Medy: Oh, so that’s why she took that vacation from the film casts of ‘Eucalyptus’!
Lola: Of course, darling!



Scene 4

Medy: Ok, darlings! Let’s make a toast for our jobs, our cash, and our beauty.
Dora: And for male dominance!
Lola: And for, for us! Of course!
Lola, Dora, Medy: Cheers!
Pierre: Ladies, ladies! What about me?
Dora: Yes, we can’t forget you, can’t we!?
Medy: No! Let’s give him the treatment!
Lola: Just like in the old days!
So they blindfolded him and left him standing there, to pay the bill.
The three left the club laughing.
