SCENE
(A coffee house with a couch and
chairs.)
(PERPLEXED and PATRON are seated on
couch in mid-conversation. FORLORN and
HAPPY are seated with them, both
reading NEWSPAPERS.)
So that's it. I think I'm finally done with it. I'm just
going to focus on poetry and plays. I'm not talking politics
anymore.
PATRON
That's awesome! Not that you're not talking politics
anymore, but that you're going to direct energies to creative
stuff. I can't wait to see some of your work.
PERPLEXED
Can we make a deal?
PATRON
What?
PERPLEXED
If you like it, you let me take you on a date?
PATRON
Now.... I already told you, I have a man in my life.
PERPLEXED
I know. I can't help it. You're just so attractive--
PATRON
You'll make me blush--
PERPLEXED
And you understand. Nobody gets the political angle, but you
do.
(Beat. She sips her coffee.)
PERPLEXED (CONT'D)
Well, maybe things will change--I mean if you're happy, I
wouldn't want to disrupt that. I just.... I just want you
to know....
PATRON
Duly noted.
