Overheard in My Apartment #2: Morgan Freeman Sleeps Under the Couch

January 19th, 2006

Guy: Actually the answer is Water Polo.
Girl: Shoot! Wait, how do they get the horses to get in the pool like that?
Guy: Um, there aren’t any horses in Water Polo.
Girl: Oh. (beat) Wait I think I hear something.
Guy: That’s him! He must be waking up! Quick! Put the Trivial Pursuit away!
Girl: But I didn’t get a pie yet.
Guy: Hurry up! We’ll leave thru the fire escape! C’mon!
(Guy and Girl leave. Morgan Freeman looks around.)
Morgan Freeman: Well. I better get back under the couch. (beat) Might as well grab a bag of chips for the long haul.
