Philip! Hey, Philip - wait up - I need to ask you something.
|
You mean me?
|
|
|
Your name is Philip, isn't it?
|
Well....yeah....but......I didn't think you even knew who I was.
|
|
|
I know you. Of course I know you. You're in my science class. That's what I want to talk to you about.
|
You want to talk to me?
|
|
|
Yeah- Do you have a lab partner?
|
Are you kidding?
|
|
|
No - I'm not kidding. Do you have one?
|
Nope.
|
|
|
So, could I be your partner? I need one.
|
You need a lab partner?! I figured you of all people would have about a hundred guys wanting to be partners with you.
|
|
|
Don't you think you're exaggerating just a little bit?
|
Well - You always seem to have tons of people around you all the time. I just assumed you you wouldn't have any trouble finding a lab partner. And why would you want me anyways?
|
|
|
I want someone who can help me get a good grade. You're practically a genius, Philip. Everyone knows that. I could really use your help. I may be flunking this class - and that cannot happen. So, will you?
|
There's gotta be a catch.
|
|
|
There's no catch. I need a partner - you need a partner - I'll work really hard, I'm not asking you to carry me, but I don't get a lot of the stuff and I.... I guess I need you. What do you say?
|
Well, Haskins asked me to partner with him about ten minutes ago.
|
|
|
Oh. Haskins?
|
Yeah. Jimmy. James Haskins. Jimmy. I was gonna - but now - uh - I could tell him I found someone else.
|
|
|
Would you? That would be awesome. I'd really appreciate it. I'd owe you big time!
|
You'd owe me?
|
|
|
Well, if you help me pass this class - yeah! I'd owe you big time.
|
Like what? Like what would you do?
|
|
|
I don't know - buy you a CD or something. Why? What would you want?
|
Go out with me. That's what I'd want.
|
|
|
Do what?!
|
Go out with me.
|
|
|
Out where?
|
On a date. Go with me on date.
|
|
|
A date? Uh..... I don't know about that.
|
Why not? You said you'd owe me. You asked me what I wanted? I help you. You help me. It's called Quid Pro Quo.
|
|
|
Quid Pro Quo? Yeah, I've heard that before. That was in "Silence of the Lambs" right?
|
Yeah, right. So.... will you do it?
|
|
|
If I say I can't do it - then no lab partner?
|
That's right.
|
|
|
Can't I just buy you something?
|
Am I that repulsive, Nancy? Is it that? You can't possibly imagine being seen with me in public?
|
|
|
No! No! Of course not. That's not it at all. It's just....
|
Yes? Just what?
|
|
|
I don't know.
|
Look - you need the grade. I need a date. I'm not asking a lot. One date.
|
|
|
Just one?
|
Yeah - I'm not asking to be your boyfriend or anything. Please! I'm a reasonable man!
|
|
|
When?
|
Saturday night!
|
|
|
Oh, I can't this Saturday night. I've got.... I've got plans. It'll have to be some other time.
|
Ok. What's good for you?
|
|
|
Monday. We can go next Monday.
|
A Monday, huh? Not exactly a date night.
|
|
|
Well, my weekends are pretty booked, so.... Monday, possibly Tuesday.... that's the best I can do.
|
Ok. Monday it is.
|
|
|
So.... we go out just once. On Monday. And then you'll be my lab partner for the rest of the semester?
|
Yeah. Pretty good deal, right?
|
|
|
Sure. It's great. OK. Well.... thanks., I guess. And I guess we can talk about Monday later in the week.
|
Ya know, Nancy.... a miracle might happen...
|
|
|
You mean, I might actually pass Chemistry?!
|
I was thinking that the miracle might be that you actually have a good time on Monday night.
|
|
|
Oh. Yeah. I'm sure it'll be fine. So I'll see ya...
|
Yeah. See ya.....
A date with Nancy Browning! Ha! I am a genius! |
