Scott: Show and Tell: Eaves Dropping
April 17, 2008
I LOVE listening in on other people’s conversations! Here’s a real little scene I witnessed just 30 minutes ago at the Heritage Center:
GIRL: (teary-eyed, taking slow, backward steps away from GUY) Goodbye! (She turns and runs away sobbing)
GUY just sits there staring into space in a state of shock as tears start to well up. Five minutes go by and he doesn’t move an inch.
GIRL returns, and embraces GUY. They both laugh/cry while gazing in each others’ eyes.
GIRL: I’m sorry.
They kiss. GIRL backs up.
GIRL: Do I really look like I’m fat to you?
GUY: You are really fat…
GIRL looks confused.
GUY: You are like the fattest girl I know… (Pause, then dramatically) With a P H!
GIRL looks overjoyed and embraces GUY again.
I swear this happened exactly how I wrote it. I love how corny and shallow they both seemed, yet they were so sincere it was really endearing.
I almost can’t believe this. You WITNESSED this?!
Sounds staged…almost.
hilarious!
