Wat?

  • Girls: So what do you do?
  • Me: I'm a consultant.
  • Girls: Neat! Here, in Austin?
  • Me: Yeah. I-
  • Girls: What did you have to do for that? Like schoolwise?
  • Me: Info systems. I was a programmer. Got laid off. Bummed around for a year. Ended up in LA and then moved here.
  • Girls: Oh, wow. Cool! What are you doing for New Years.
  • Me: Probably seeing a metal show.
  • Girls: Oh my god, who-where?!
  • Me: Russian Circles at Red 7's.
  • Girls: I know the place. Don't know the band thought. You guys want to go with us to a concert tomorrow!?
  • Me: Uhhh. Maybe?
  • Girls: Well Terra stops work at the pharmacy at 7 and I'm done at mine around 6. We're seeing Better Than Ezra! You should come. Here are our numbers.
  • Me: ....*thinking* "What the hell is happening. What did I do?" Uh, sure? I might have to work, or you know, get drunk.
  • Girls: I love the way you think!!! You should come meet us tomorrow!
  • ============================================
  • Whaaaaaaaaaat the hell happened tonight? I'm crushin bad on another lady though. I'll probably play Skyrim instead.

Dialogue: "Just Beat It" - Living Room

  • Bachelor 1: Well, I'm off.
  • Bachelor 2: Another company playoff?
  • Bachelor 1: Yeah. Just some friendly competition to get the office morale and comradery up. <pause> <underbreath> Some HR bullshit.
  • Bachelor 2: <resumes reading book> Well, good luck then.
  • Bachelor 1: Psh. Hah! Thanks, but no thanks LeVar Burton.
  • Bachelor 2: That good, huh?
  • Bachelor 1: The best out there, even! I'm going to beat them off in their own pants!
  • Bachelor 2: <lowers book to lap> What?
  • Bachelor 1: Oh yeah! You heard me! Unh! <pelvic thrust>
  • Bachelor 2: Rethink that-
  • Bachelor 1: Rethink what? Beating them off-
  • Bachelor 2: Yeah. Hm. I don't think that's the phrase. "Beating the pants off" of whomever is what you were going for.
  • Bachelor 1: Is it? I dunno...Anyway, I'm heading out. We're going to get buzzed in the parking lot and spin around a baseball bat. <yelling as he heads out the door> Someone is getting beat off tonight and it isn't me! <silence in the apt/house>
  • Bachelor 2's Girlfriend: I can't tell if he ever knows what he's talking about.

Dialogue # Something: The Doctor's Office

  • Me: So, what's the problem, Doc?
  • Doctor: Well, the X-rays seem to show that you have broken the little toe on your right foot...multiple times.
  • Me: And is it broken now?
  • Doctor: It appears that is the case. Are you in any pain?
  • Me: Not really. It feels a little sore. But I don't recall bumping it on anything.
  • Doctor: Have you been drinking lately?
  • Me: I stayed with some friends for a while and we drank a fair amount, but not enough for black out drunk.
  • Doctor: That you remember...
  • Me: Right. I mean, I don't think we drank that much I usually went to bed when I was tired.
  • Doctor: No black outs?
  • Me: No, but now you're making me a bit paranoid and I don't know how much I drank anymore.
  • Doctor: But you weren't sick, ever?
  • Me: No.
  • Doctor: Well, if you find out the name of the liquor let me know.
  • Me: Do you think it caused some weird reaction and I blacked out without knowing?
  • Doctor: Reaction!? *laughing* No. No no. Not at all. My wife and kids are just driving me bat-shit insane and I need something to numb headaches.

  • J: But that-
  • D: OH! And she's nice...so yeah.
  • J: Well, so is your mother, but you don't marry her.
  • D: Right. I know. But my dad's married to her, so I can't.
  • J: I'm not getting anywhere with this explanation am I?
  • D: We are young and in love! She's kinda fat though. So...I dunno about that.
  • J: What?

  • V: Right.
  • A: Well, coincidentally I eat nothing that has anything to do with plants.
  • V: How does that work?

A Dialogue #1*

[Interior: bathroom. amber lighting above mirror. girls passing through background]

what are you doing?

mm c’gginngh. sch sch sch sch sch-

what?

*points to swishing mouth

Oh! I didn’t know you brought mouthwash to this. Smart thinking, Bee.

mm hhh’hu sch sch schsch…sch sch-

Freshening up your breath for that cute Jewish guy, no doubt. What’s his name? David, right? Guuuhhhh, he’s so cute. His dad gave him a sail boat last semester.  I never got to go on it though.

h’o ‘eah. hhrm? sch sch sch

Oh, yeah. I went went out with him once…or twice I think, nothing serious. He was in class that Chomsky taught. It’s a little too small to be calling it Goliath though-

pfffttttt- What the faack?

Becca there’s blood in your mouthwash!

It’s not blood, Allison! We’re at a fucking wine tasting! It’s merlot! Mer-fucking-lot!

Stop shaking your glass! You’re getting red all over me! Christ!

Why’d you have to go and talk about his shmeckle!? I didn’t want to know that! I’d find out sooner or later..Now never for that matter! I don’t want sloppy seconds on some would-have-been dishy captain of my ship!

I wasn’t even- I’m talking about his boat!

Oh…

Yeah…

Well. Alright. Well, here. Sorry. Take a shout wipe. I’ll see you back at the tasting tables.

(Becca leaves after giving Allison an apologetic peck on the cheek. Allison talks to the mirror.)

Well, at least he’s huge.
