The Lopez Twins, A Day After the Game

Brook and Robin Lopez arrive back to their apartment after flying in from Texas on a Saturday night, one day after their loss to the Longhorns.

Robin: Damn man, I can’t believe we lost. That was a tough game.

Brook: Yeah. I can’t believe those Texas assholes got into my head. I really shouldn’t have let them beat me mentally.

Robin: Well it’s not like that takes much effort, all they need to do is give you an English test. Hey-o!

Brook: Hahaha, good one Robin (in a low voice) you asshole.

Robin: What did you say?

Brook: Oh nothing. Anyway, what do you have planned for the night?

Robin: Um…

Brook: Because, you know I don’t have anything planned. I figured after a loss like that, none of the guys would be in the mood to party. Hell, I’m not. That’s why we could use this time to have some good old brother to brother bonding! I borrowed my friend’s Wii, and he has a copy of Smash Brothers Brawl! How cool is that? I was really excited when I heard it was out, and now we can finally play together. Let me just go get it, it’s in my room. Who do want to be? I call Mario…

Robin: Um actually Brook, I kind of had plans already.

A look of panic and shock sets into Brook Lopez’s face.

Brook: What? Where are you going? Who are you going out with?

The door bell rings.

Robin: Oh, actually, that’s her right now…

Brook: You don’t mean… tell me it isn’t….

Michelle: Hey spazzo.

Brook: Crap.

Robin: Yeah, Michelle and I are just going to call it a day. I think we just might rent a movie from Blockbuster or something. You’re welcome to join us…

Michelle starts coughing.

Robin: Um right. Actually, I think it’s just going to be a night for just us.

Brook: Oh I see. It’s cool. I guess I’ll just play by myself.

Brook begins to slowly pace back to his room. Robin grabs his shoulder.

Robin: Hey man, it’s nothing personal. It’s just, you know, I haven’t seen Michelle all week because of the tournament, and you know she’s gone a lot on all those golf tours. It’s really hard to get some quality time between us two. You understand, right?

Brook: Yeah, whatever.

Robin: Don’t be mad.

There is a pause of silence. Brook then turns and faces Robin.

Brook: I just got four words, Robin: twin bros before hoes.

Michelle: I’m still here asshole.

Brook: I know.

Brook’s door slams shut.
