I found the first half of this a few months ago; I’d written it several years ago and forgotten about it. I wrote the second half recently.
MEETING DAWN WELLS
A hotel check-in desk. A woman approaches.
CLERK: May I help you?
DAWN: I’d like a room, please.
CLERK: Say, aren’t you Dawn Wells? Mary Ann? The actress? Well, you’re the actress, you were Mary Ann in the show. Ginger was the actress in the show. Ha ha ha ha!
DAWN: Yes. It’s me.
CLERK: Wow. You look great.
DAWN: Thanks.
CLERK: I mean, how old are you anyway? You look very good for your age.
DAWN (uncomfortable): Listen, I just want a room.
CLERK: Sure, sure. Single or double?
DAWN: Single.
CLERK: Interesting. So – is the lovely Mary Ann meeting up with anyone later?
DAWN: I don’t think that’s any of your business.
CLERK: Right, right. I’ll put you in 125. You can see the outdoor pool from your window. Hope it doesn’t remind you too much of that island. Ha ha ha! Did you bring a bikini? I mean a swimsuit?
DAWN (impatient): How much do I owe you?
CLERK: Come on. If Angelina Jolie walked through that door, I’d charge her double. For Dawn Wells, it’s on me.
DAWN: That’s very nice of you, but I think I’d rather –
CLERK (comes from behind the desk and takes her hand): All I ask is one thing. Let me come to your room. Mary Ann has been one of my TV dream girls since I was seven. You’re right up there with Bailey from WKRP in Cincinnati. I had a poster of you on my bedroom wall as a kid. Okay, not really, but I wanted one. I want to hold you. I want to visualize you in cut-offs and a halter top. I want to caress your shoulders and whistle the show’s theme song. I want you to shove a coconut cream pie in my face as I scream “I see a ship!” What do you say?
DAWN (thinks): I’ve got a Gilligan costume in my bag. You up for it?
CLERK: Anything for Mary Ann Summers.
DAWN: Great. Give me ten minutes. I left my whip in the car.
