The Gina Chronicles

Episode 4: I'm Not High Open on Gina being picked up from her Gastroscopy by Claudio in her car. Gina: (as she enters car) Hi Babe! Claudio: Hi Love, how did you make out? G: Good, I was a bit drowsy when the procedure was over but I'm good now. I'm sure I could probably drive if I was allowed. C: Oh yeah? (laughs almost to himself) Well what did they say? They find anything? G: Yup, esophagitis from acid reflux - shocker. She did a biopsy as well. So I gotta stay on the acid pill and some other one I was on before. Follow-up appointment in June. C: Ok, well that's good. At least now you know why you were having such problems. G: Yeah, whatever…so tired of this nonsense. Anyway, I'm starving, I haven't eaten yet today. C: Where would you like to go? G: Ummm I dunno, maybe that diner we went to before? C: Yeah that's cool, let's go there. G: I'm telling you, the drugs they gave me have no effect on me, it's so weird I feel completely fine. They don't even phase me. It's like sometimes when I smoke weed, it lasts for like 5 minutes and then I'm ready for more. Whatever they gave me made me mildly drowsy when the procedure was finished but I'm totally good now. They continue driving, radio on in the background and a few minutes of silence between the two of them until Gina spies something in the console underneath the radio… G: (accusatory) What's this?? Where did you get that?? (Gina picks up the wine opener she sees in the console) You STOLE THIS from me! Then one quick beat…as she realizes where she is… G: Oh wait, this is my car. Claudio and Gina both break out in laughter G: Mother fucker, it's the drugs they gave me!!! Okay, maybe I AM high.
