A Sketch by Jean-Pierre Martinez
A character enters, followed shortly by another of the opposite gender.
One – Are you the first one here?
Two – Looks like it. Why? Are we expecting more actors?
One – I’m not sure. Since the film’s called Sextet.
Two – Sextet? Are you sure?
One – Isn’t that the title?
Two – I thought it was Sextape.
One – Oh yeah, maybe. Sextet, Sextape, they sound a bit similar.
Two – Yes, but… they’re probably not the same type of films.
One – No…
Two – Let’s wait. We’ll see if anyone else shows up.
One – Yeah.
Two – Yeah, because a Sextet with just the two of us…
One – Becomes a tête-à-tête.
Two – Which could quickly turn into a tailspin.
One – It’s probably Sextape, then.
Blackout.
