  • All three characters are in their early 20s to early 30s. They've been best friends since childhood.
  • WOMAN 1 – Charismatic and attractive. The type of woman who, although bright and competent, tends to rely on her sex appeal to get what she wants. She has a tendency to be self-centered and impulsive.
  • WOMAN 2 – While also physically appealing, WOMAN 2 is more confident of her abilities than her appearance. As WOMAN 1's best friend, she sees herself as smart and reliable, not desirable. She's accommodating to a fault.
  • MAN – The most unsophisticated of the three – trusting, good-natured, not given to introspection. He's cute, charming, loyal, optimistic – a genuinely nice guy who believes that dreams really can come true.
