Frederick Goodge is a man in his early forties. He is handsome but faded and jaded too. He has spent a lot of time in the sun in the past and enjoyed a healthy balanced lifestyle but now he is mostly pale if not fetid looking. He is a kind-hearted man, avuncular and deeply fond of humanity but he is also a dangerous sociopath, with a tendency to shout obscenities at fauna and flora. He is on a window ledge of the 37th floor of a very tall building. He is about to jump. Enter Dana Drawl. Dana is devastatingly attractive, possessing the kind of sex appeal that can launch ships to the moon. She is a wily creature, a temptress and a pretty good waitress too. You should see her tips. She is married but not really, she is not the sort. She and Frederick have had an on and off, up and down, in and out, tempestuous, torrid and tawdry love affair ever since they were very young. Too young, some might say. Frederick turns around and sees Dana.
F: I'm on the window ledge of the 37th floor of a very tall building and I'm about to jump. Don't try and stop me.
D: You wouldn't dare.
Frederick jumps off the window ledge and plummets to his death.
D: Cripes. I guess whoever said never underestimate Frederick Goodge was right.
Exit Dana. The end.
