(SCENE: Inside a bar. The few remaining patrons have their backs pressed against the wall and are hiding behind overturned tables. In the center of the room is MOON IN SCORPIO, brandishing a broken whiskey bottle at MOON IN CANCER. CANCER wields a serving tray converted into a shield and a table leg, which CANCER waves like a club. The two circle each other menacingly.)
SCORPIO: I'm sick and tired of all your defensiveness crap! (Takes a swing at CANCER, who dodges.)
CANCER: I'M defensive? You're the jerk with the stinger! You're every bit as sensitive -- or over-sensitive as I am! (Swings and misses with the club.)
SCORPIO: You're just like your mother!
CANCER: Oh you did NOT bring my Mother into this! (Swings and misses with the club)
SCORPIO: Quit being so damned defensive! (Jabs with the broken bottle, barely missing) Haven't you figured out by now that the whole world isn't against you?
CANCER: Well, it's not like I'm always using (swings club) sex and (swings again) anger to deflect anyone from really getting to know me!
SCORPIO: You know what I really, really hate about you? You're a lot like me!
CANCER: (Pauses, thinking) Y'know... that's probably why we're so drawn to each other.
SCORPIO: You're right. (Looks CANCER over) And you're hot, baby.
CANCER: Want to come with me to my place? I just redecorated.
SCORPIO: Let's go.
(They leave together. The remaining patrons of the bar breathe a collective sigh of relief, and restore the tables to their upright positions. After a few minutes, SUN IN ARIES and SUN IN LEO enter.)
ARIES: I'm having a great time tonight! Glad I decided we should go out!
LEO: Wait... that was my idea!
ARIES: (Turning to LEO menacingly) Why are you so damned self-absorbed?
LEO: (Angrily) YOU'RE the self-absorbed one!
(The customers all duck and cover behind the tables again...)
