For Real

A Conversation Between Soul Mates:

Scene Opens to a long distance phone call:


Me (As read in a tone signifying the importance of one bearing her confidence to the man she loves): ...blah blah blah...significant things...blah blah....body image issues...blah blah

Geoff (Interrupting): Wait! I have something important to tell you before you go on.

Me (Touched to be interrupted by what will undoubtedly be a compliment and a request to stop doubting my beautiful self. Gorgeous man, cant bear to hear me self deprocate): Yes?

Geoff (Obviously pleased with himself): There's a movie coming out in June...

Me (Slightly miffed on the obvious lack of compliment but thinking perhaps the conversation is taking an intellectual turn in which he will suggest a documentary on the entrapment of women in a society hell bent on making them feel badly about themselves): ...

Geoff: Check it out. Nazi... Zombies... (pause to allow for the apparent magnitude to set in) Seriously.

End Scene.
