JUST A LITTLE PUSH

MYRA
WHEN I LOOK AT ANNE MARIE AND WHEN I LOOK AT TIM.
EVEN WITH MY GLASSES OFF
I CAN SEE SHE’S RIGHT FOR HIM.
SHE’S A CLASSIC BEAUTY...

GARY, INGRID
BUT HE’S NO CASANOVA.

MYRA
That’s why it’s our solemn duty
TO HELP HIM WIN HER OVER.
JUST A LITTLE PUSH.

GARY, INGRID
NOW, MYRA, WHAT’RE YOU THINKING?

MYRA
A NEGLIGIBLE NUDGE.

GARY, INGRID
OUR WARNING LIGHTS ARE BLINKING.

MYRA
OUR TWO LOVE BIRDS ARE PERCHED IN A BUSH JUST COOING AND SIGHING.
ALL THEY NEED’S A GENTLE PUSH TO REALLY SEND THEM FLYING.
DON’T YOU SEE? OUR TIMOTHY’S IN LOVE.
HE ONLY NEEDS AN ITSY-BITSY SHOVE.
AS FOR ANNE MARIE, WELL IT SEEMS
SHE HASN’T REALIZED YET
THAT THE SEARCH SHE WAS ON FOR THE MAN OF HER DREAMS
WAS OVER THE MOMENT THEY MET.
So! JUST A TINY THRUST.

GARY, INGRID
MYRA, SHOULD YOU STICK YOUR NOSE IN?

MYRA
A TEENSY-WEENSY PROD.

GARY, INGRID
JUST WHAT ARE YOU PROPOSIN’?

MYRA
WELL, THE U.S.S. TIM-AND-ANNE-MARIE IS BARELY OUT OF THE HARBOR
ALL SHE NEEDS IS A GENTLE TUG TO SAIL ANY FARTHER.
SO, FIRST WE RAISE THE ANCHOR
BY MAKING AN ASS OF HER BANKER.
THEN WE LOWER THE BOOM
BY GETTIN’ ‘EM ALONE IN A ROOM.
A BOP UPON THE HEAD.
A SLIGHT KICK IN THE TUSH.
JUST A LITTLE PUSH.
Okay, here’s what I’m thinking.

The three huddle together mumbling and scheming as the MUSIC CONTINUES.

MYRA
WHEN YOU SEE TWO KIDS
LIKE OUR TWO KIDS: MADE
TO LIVE AS ONE
WHY NOT STEP IN AND OFFER AID?

GARY, INGRID
CONSID’RING IT’S SO MUCH FUN.

MYRA
AND OH, WHEN THEY’RE FINALLY IN LOVE:
WHEN THEY’RE COOING LIKE A PAIR OF TURTLEDOVES.
WHEN THEY’RE SAYING THEIR VOWS
ON A SUNNY BEACH IN NICE,

GARY
WE’LL BE PLUCKING OUR HARPS UP IN THE CLOUDS:

INGRID
LIT’RALLY RESTING IN PEACE.

MYRA
Now you’re talking!

GARY, INGRID
A LITTLE-BITTY BUMP.

MYRA
LET’S SET THE PLAN IN MOTION.

GARY/INGRID
A TEENY-TINY JOLT.

MYRA
GET THIS SHIP OUT ON THE OCEAN.

MYRA, INGRID, GARY
(acting out the following)
 WELL, SHE’S BY THE PUNCH BOWL AT THE DANCE.
HE’S BY THE GYM DOOR.
ALL HE NEEDS IS A KICK IN THE PANTS
TO GET HER ON THE DANCE FLOOR.

MYRA
TIM AND ANNE MARIE ARE BIRDS OF A FEATHER.
LET’S ROLL UP OUR SLEEVES AND GET THE TWO TOGETHER.

MYRA, INGRID, GARY
JUST A LITTLE BUMP.
A BARELY PERCEPTIBLE BRUSH.
JUST A GENTLE JAB.
A MEASLY LITTLE SPLASH.
JUST A LITTLE PUSH.
