Scene
One: Dharma is talking with Cousin Stephanie about family
dirt.
|
Dharma
meets Greg's cousin Trey;
35 sec; 1.3 Meg. |
|
Just then a
guy, Trey, Greg's cousin, strolls into the room,
he is drinking a Bloody Mary, complete with celery
stalk. He is very smarmy, a stereotypical rich jerk
soap character.

TREY:
(Walking up to them) Hello Stephanie.
STEPHANIE:
(Annoyed) Hello Trey.
TREY: (Smarmy)
What, no kiss for your cousin.
She turns her head in disgust.
TREY:
Oh, that's right you don't kiss men.
Stephanie appears to not be able to stand Trey. The
two couisins toss out insults, and throughout their
exchange Dharma listens on stunned. With his last
remark she raises her eyebrows.

STEPHANIE:
Oh, I kiss men.
She turns
to look at him. He gets the point and reacts.
DHARMA:
Ouch!
He turns
towards her and introduces himself. He
is very smarmy; he then offers his hand and they shake.
TREY:
Excuse me, I don't think we met.
DHARMA:
I'm Greg's wife Dharma.
TREY: He's
a lucky man.... unless you cheat, in which case I'll
wrestle Stephanie for you.
He flashes
a smarmy grin. Dharma does not know what to think.
STEPHANIE:
You'll lose.
TREY: But
I'll enjoy every minute of it.
He
kisses Dharma's hand, and walks off. She grimaces.
Stephanie groans.
Scene
Two: Dharma walks into the pool room, and finds
Trey sitting at the bar, pouring himself a drink.
|
Trey
has a shocking secret;
1 min; 2.2 Meg. |
|

DHARMA:
Hey, I was looking for you.
TREY: Well,
when you find me.... (he lifts a glass of whiskey) give
me this.
DHARMA:
Look I wanted to tell you (pauses for effect, hoping
to trap him and cause him to give himself away) there's
a secret in this family. And I know what it is.


Trey gives her a serious look, and then gives
her shocking news father and her mother-in-law.
TREY:
You mean that my father slept with Kitty before she
met Edward.
DHARMA:
Oh,wow. We'll get back to that. No
I was talking about you, Stephanie, and Brent secretly
trying to take over the company.

TREY:
As delightfully tedious as this sounds, I can't be bothered.
You see, I have only six months to live.

The ubiquitous organ music plays.
DHARMA:
Oh, my god that's awful.
TREY: Dying's
not awful. Awful is Bermuda when the cruise ships dock.

He gives
her a slight salute with his his drink.

He then
walks off. Just then Stephanie walks in. He stops
and addresses her.
TREY:
Stephanie!
STEPHANIE:
Trey.
Stephanie
goes over to Dharma who is still shocked and upset
about Trey's announcement.
DHARMA:
Did you know that Trey has only six
more months to live?
STEPHANIE:
(Smiling with pleasure at the thought) Yes,
it's marked on my calendar.
Scene Three:
Later at Greg's father's birthday party, in stereotypical
soap fashion Dharma tries to out the family members
who are trying to double cross him. In the end, a shocking
last minute revelation occurs and the mystery is solved. |
