  1. MakingUp

  2. Here’s the situation: • An ambitious man sees an illegal way to become CEO of ____________________, but his cautiousness and loyalty make him indecisive about actually doing it. His motto: “Maybe tomorrow.” • He tells his idea to his equally ambitious housewife, who is refined and elegant on the outside but a “killer” inside. Her motto: “Just do it.”

  3. Your task: • Create a dialogue between the man and his wife using all of the lines on your handout. You can add new lines, too, but you must use all of the lines on the sheet. • This requires that you decide which character says which line and in what order.
