title of show: I can't help it if I'm a cheater, and I don't regret it!!
Joei: older sister
Daniel: younger sister (14 yr)
Jr: third party involved (21 yr)
Joie's boyfriend Jr. (21) slept with her 14 year old sister. She caught the two in bed together.
Both denied it at first but the clever Joei used reverse psychology and tricked them into admitting they slept together.
At this time, Daniel does not give a reason for doing it and states Jr. did it because he thought Joei was out doing the same thing, (IE having sex with some other guy).
Daniel sleeps around a lot for a 14 year old.
(Both Daniel and Joei are big boned, blondie gals with small tight lipped mouths and mean glints in their close set eyes)
Dialog (transcribed from notes taken in class) begins:
D: Stupid slut deserves to be cheated on. Joei has slept with 39 guys. She's not setting a good example for her younger sister.
J: I have been living on my own since I was 13, I pay my own bills, I make my own way. I don't live with mom.
D: You pay your bills with money you got from being a Ho. I slept with him because I contracted ghonoreah from either a friend or from Jr. Your boyfriend was not a good lay anyhow.
J: I know he's not!
D: You Ho! You F*** every guy who comes in.
J: Lost my virginity at the age of twelve to a boyfriend I was with for three or four years. At that young age I only had sex with three or four people.
D: More HO! (To Jerry) Dude! I Swear to God!!!
Jr. hits the scene (Jr. is a very skinny white boy with close cropped hair, he also has a small tight mouth and shiny little rat-like eyes very reminiscent of the sisters, and remember Daniel could have caught ghonereah from Jr. so the implication is there that they have done it more than once). As he comes on stage the dialogue is masked by a continuous beep, so that only the word bitch is not censored. He steps to Joei and they push and shove a bit.
Jr.: I don't love these Hos!
J: Hes a child molester!
D: Your a child molester bitch! You slept with a 13 year old.
J: He told me he was 19.
