Mars: Shit! I gotta go, gotta get the job done!
[opens door]
Venus: Hi Mars! How are you doing?
Mars: [pause] OK, I guess. What brings you out here?
Venus: [smiles] You, silly. Can I come in?
Mars: Well, my place is a mess...
[Venus walks in past Mars]
Venus: No more so than usual!
Mars: I'm sort of in the middle of packing, Venus, so I'm not going to be very good company.
Venus: That's OK. I came over to keep YOU company. I haven't seen you in weeks!
Mars: Yeah, well, things have been a little nuts. I'm just off right now and I don't feel like doin' shit.
Venus: I understand. It's that time again.
Mars: Yeah. Fuckin' sucks.
Venus: Are you going anyplace exciting?
Mars: Probably going to head to Russia and see a few of the World Cup games.
Venus: That will be fun!
Mars: Yeah, I guess. Lot of fuckin' angry people right now. And I've got nothing for them until I get back. People have to fuckin' chill. The whole summer's fuckin' shot to hell!
Venus: I'm glad you're taking a break. Clearly, you're off.
Mars: And we both know how good I am dealing with my fuckin' emotions! Why did you come over here, anyway?
Venus: Because I care about you. I know your retrograde gets you down.
Mars: I'm ashamed to even say this but I'm not even in the mood. It's been hard for me to even get...well, hard. You know?
Venus: [concerned] All men go through that sometimes. It will pass. [smiles] Don't you usually bring your "special collection" with you on business trips? That should help!
Mars: Yeah, but I'm just not feeling as horny as usual. And the last time I almost carried the special collection on the plane by accident! I do not want someone x-raying that shit. It will end up on YouTube!
Venus: Honey, I'm sure they see sex toys and porn all the time. Nothing illegal about that.
Mars: I'm just not fucking READY to go right now! I wish I could put this trip off.
Venus: Part of the job, honey. Here, why don't you put your suitcase down for a minute?
Mars: I don't have time! I need to be out early for the flight tomorrow.
[Venus walks up to Mars and gets in his way]
Venus: Mars! Put. The. Suitcase. Down. [Pause] Please.
[Mars drops suitcase with a crash]
Mars: Shit. That wasn't good.
[Venus wraps her arms around him]
Venus: I'm going to miss you, Mars.
Mars: Goddammit, Venus. [starts to sob]
Venus: It's OK. Just let it out. [Pause] And you didn't forget to pack the lube in plastic bags this time, right?
Mars: [collecting himself] I still need to do that.
Venus: [detaching herself from him] I'll do it. We'll finish your packing together.
Mars: Thanks. I can't wait to get back from this trip. Hopefully, people won't be too pissed at me.
Venus: When are you back?
Mars: August 27. Too fucking long.
Venus: Well, let's get finished so you can get some rest.
