Script


Sarah sits in her living room alone. She is watching TV. Suddenly, a knocking starts at the door.
Sarah switches off the TV and walks to the door. When she opens the door she is shocked to see her best friend Hannah.
Hannah: Surprise, surprise!!
Sarah screams with happiness and gives her a big hug.
Sarah: when did you get back?
They walk back to the living room and sit on the sofa.
Hannah: just this morning. It was such a long flights, I thought it was never going to end.
Sarah: (laughing) I thought you were never going to come back.
Hannah: you’re the only reason I did. It was so nice in Australia; it’s such a beautiful country.
Sarah: I wish I was there with you. So what did you do over there?
Hannah: shopping, sunbathing… sunbathing, shopping
They both laugh.
Hannah: I just relaxed and had fun.
Sarah: sounds a lot better than what I've been up to. I've had so much work tonight’s my only night off.

Hannah: well in that case. (She stands and offers her hand to Sarah) we have party to crash.
