...pretty big. |
Excuse me? |
|
|
I'm sorry, I was just sort of, you know, speaking out loud. Pretty big in here. That's what I was saying... |
Oh. Right. |
|
|
Lots of room for, you know, people. |
Yep. It's popular. (beat) You can sit here if you want. |
|
|
(sit here?) No, I don't need to, uhm... |
What? |
|
|
I dunno, I hadn't thought the rest of that through. Ahh, "intrude," I guess. |
You're not. I'll make some room for you. |
|
|
(moving stuff on table) You sure? |
Of course. |
|
|
(I thought you meant me before) I'm sorry? |
When you said that 'pretty big,' I thought you were saying that to me. About me. |
|
|
Oh, no, God, no! I wouldn't... You did? |
For a second. |
|
|
No, that'd be... you know. Rude. |
Still... |
|
|
I mean, why would I do that? A thing like that? I'm not... |
You'd be surprised. People say all kinds of things here. |
|
|
In this place? |
No, not just here here, this restaurant or anything, I mean in the city. |
|
|
So... you mean, people actually... what? Say things to your face? |
Of course. All the time. |
|
|
About what? |
... My hair color. (beat) What do you think? |
|
|
Oh, I see. Sure... |
It's not a huge deal-I was just mentioning it. |
|
|
Yeah, but... |
You get used to it. I guess they think that-I don't know, after a certain size or whatever... |
|
|
Geez, that's hard to... |
I shouldn't have all this stuff for lunch, anyway, but I can't help it, I'm hungry. |
|
|
Sure... hey, it's lunchtime, right? |
Yeah. |
|
|
I mean, look at me... look how much chicken they put on my salad! |
That's not exactly comforting... |
|
|
I just meant... whatever. Sorry. |
I had three pieces of pizza, and the garlic bread, and a salad. Plus dessert... |
|
|
Hey, you know... It's your... |
How does that sentence end? |
|
|
Badly, I'm sure! Hell, it's your body, you do what you want. That's what I think... |
Really? |
|
|
(It's your body. Really?) Of course. I mean... |
So, do you really like sprouts or does that only hold true to me? You little theory there... |
|
|
No, I'm just... had a really big breakfast, so I'm... |
That's a lie. |
|
|
Ahh, yeah. Yes, it was. You saw through that one... Damn, you seem pretty good at this! |
What, the truth? |
|
|
(The truth?) Yeah, that. |
I'm not bad, actually... not too bad at all... (beat) Yes, I'm over at the library. I was at an interview, actually, for a different branch... that's why I have the, you know, 'Miss Kitty' hair today. All dolled up. |
|
|
Yeah, I saw the library bag earlier. Though maybe you just stopped by there and checked those out, or... |
Nope, "I'm not just the president, I'm also a client..." That one wig commerical? The Hair Club for Men or something... |
|
|
Who do they think is really going to fall for that stuff? |
I dunno! It always looks so cheesy when guys do that... People should just go with it, you know? I mean, whatever they look like. It's... |
|
|
Yeah, I agree... That's a lot of videos there. |
It was a long weekend... |
|
|
So, lemme guess... When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle, probably, ummm.... |
Wrong. Take a look. |
|
|
The Guns of Navarone, Where Eagles Dare... Ice Station Zebra? |
I threw myself a little Alistair MacLean festival. |
|
|
Don't get me wrong, because I love that stuff, but... that's not very girlie of you. |
You're probably just dating the wrong kinds of girls. |
|
|
No doubt about that - I can't even call them girls without being hit by a lawsuit, so... You're a librarian? |
Yeah. Well, we don't really use that term anymore, but, ahh... |
|
|
Sure, of course! It's probably, like, "printed-word specialist"or something now, I suppose... |
Exactly. (B) They're always coming up with new names for stuff, something to make that person feel better.. a "refuse technician" or what have you. |
|
|
(refuse technician) That's so true... |
Right? Problem is, you still find yourself picking sh!t up off the street, no matter what they call you! I mean... you know... (LAUGH) |
|
|
You have a terrific laugh. |
Thanks. |
|
|
You're welcome. A potty mouth, but a really cute laugh... |
That's sweet, thank you! (laughs) Now that I'm so self-conscious that I'll never do it again... |
|
|
(beautiful laugh, self conscious) Exactly! (eat) |
How's that spinach coming along? |
|
|
(how's the spinach) Mmmm... so darn good. |
I bet.
|
|
|
(spinach is good) Yeah. Yummy. |
The pizza's terrific here. I come by all the time for it... |
|
|
I'll bet. I just mean... you know. If it's so good, I would understand. That. Please-help-me. |
I get what you meant. |
|
|
(I get what you meant) Great. |
You shouldn't be so nervous... I mean, if we're gonna start dating. |
|
|
(start dating?) What? |
I'm kidding. |
|
|
(Dating. what?) Oh, right. Got it. Little slow! (laugh) |
I'm sorry. You should've seen your face... |
|
|
(your face!) What? No... |
I thought you were gonna choke on your avocado there... |
|
|
(choke?) That's not true, come on... |
Pretty close. |
|
|
No, that's not... why would you say that? You just caught me off guard is all. Seriously. |
Anyway, I was just playing. Big people are jolly, remember? |
|
|
Ummm-hmmm... |
It's one of our best qualities. |
|
|
(qualities.) Well, at least you've got one. |
And you don't? |
|
|
(don't have a quality) Ahhh.... open for debate. |
Really? |
|
|
...does not run with scissors or one of those. Plays well with others. |
Really? Handsome guy like you and that's all you're good for... to look at? |
|
|
(just good to look at?) Pretty much. |
Good to know. (pudding) You want one? |
|
|
(Pudding?) Nah, I shouldn't... |
Why? |
|
|
Excellent question. Okay (takes pudding and eats it) |
Good? |
|
|
Mmmm... Haven't done that in ages. |
What? |
|
|
Enjoyed myself. Like that. Put something in my mouth with out reading that back label like some Bible scholar... |
LAUGH |
|
|
All right, okay, we're gonna have to ask you to leave... You'r actually enjoying yourself during the workweek. |
Right! Sorry... |
|
|
No, I told you, I love your laugh. It's okay. |
Thanks. Again. |
|
|
(your laugh though) You're welcome |
So... no other good qualities, huh? |
|
|
Ahhh, I suppose. Faithful friend and co-worker, dependable, takes directions well. |
What about good lover? Not on the list? |
|
|
That's very direct... |
Librarians are funny people. |
|
|
I guess... I shouldn't've let my card lapse! |
No, look what you've been missing. |
|
|
(look @ what you've been missing) Yeah. |
So? |
|
|
Ummm... I'm okay. I mean, no reports of absolute dissatisfaction, but I don't think I'm like Valentino or anything. |
You mean the movie guy? The Sheik or whatever? |
|
|
Yep. Wasn't he like this big Latin lover or something? |
I guess that was the story... He died really unhappy though. I've read his biography. |
|
|
(biography) One of the perks of the job... |
Right I've read just about every biography in the place, actually. Real people interest me. I don't really have much time for fiction. "Fiction is for the weak and faint of heart." Somebody said that. A Frenchman, I think. |
|
|
(a Frenchman, I think.) Cool... |
Anyway, you don't have to answer the question. It was rude. |
|
|
No, I... I mean, I sort of did. |
And you're what? Just okay? |
|
|
Something like that... I do fine. Wow. I've never... been asked that before. In that way. |
No? |
|
|
Not at lunch, anyhow! It's kind of invigorating, actually, You seem like a really... I don't know. An interesting person, I guess. |
You should swing by the library sometime. See what you've been missing... |
|
|
Yeah. Listen, I'm... I need to get back to the office. Downtown. So I should finish up my, ahh... |
All right. Sorry if I was... |
|
|
No, no, it was... but could we... I dunno what I'm asking here. Should we see each other again? |
Why? |
|
|
I dunno... I mean, I'm just, it'd be good, I think. You seem really nice and I'm... what can I say, I'm just asking... sort of outta the blue. So, could we? I'm not trying to pick you up or anything, I just... |
Too bad. Yes. We should. |
|
|
For lunch? Or, ummm, dinner...? |
I don't only eat. I can be coaxed into doing other stuff, too... |
|
|
(I don't only eat) Of course! I didn't mean... |
I know. It's a joke. |
|
|
Right, sure... I'm really striking out on the humor part here. |
You're doing fine... So when? |
|
|
Anytime. |
How about Friday? I'm good for Fridays, my day off. |
|
|
Umm, yeah. Evening. (#) |
Great. (write number) Now when you wipe your mouth, you'll think of me... |
|
|
Good plan. So, okay, library lady, I'll call you... |
Helen. My name's Helen. |
|
|
As in "of Troy"? That was so lame, sorry... |
Right, the thousand ships and all. But that was just so they could carry me back... ...because it would take that many to lift me... Don't worry about it. |
|
|
(Troy and ships) Oh, I see. I got it! |
Yeah. Just trying to be cute. |
|
|
No, yes, I get it now... but you shouldn't do that, though. Make fun of yourself so much. |
Why not? |
|
|
Ummmmm... I'm sure there's a very good reason. I'll get back to you. |
You do that. You've got the number there.. |
|
|
Right. I'll call you. And I'm Tom, by the way. |
I'll see you. Tom. (Monologue) |
