“Blind Date”

Writer:  Frank is sitting in the coffee shop, typing on his laptop, drinking his usual – double espresso with hazelnut syrup – when his blind date walks in.  Brunette, curly hair, long legs, big breasts, full of confidence, a true New York woman.

Woman:  Hey, my name’s Amy.  How ya doin’?  Geez, what a dump.  I mean, no offense or nothin’ but wow.  Hey whatcha havin’ there?

Tastes Frank’s drink.

Woman:  Ech.  (to waitress)  Coffee.  Black.  So I see you got your little computer there?  You’re not one of those mac guys are ya?

Writer:  Wait, that’s no good.  Frank… drinking his usual… date walks in.  Intelligent, shy, innocent, glasses, book in arm.

Woman:  Hey, uhm, Frank?  Hi.  Can I sit down?  Thanks.  Sorry I’m late.  I had to feed my cats and my turtle.  Chai please.  Uhm… nice place.  (long long pause, looks at watch)  So… you like cats?

Writer:  Who needs conversation?  Beautiful, friendly and foreign.

Woman:  Franku?  Kohii o nomimasuka?  Sore wa oishii desuka?

Writer:  Date walks in…  Beautiful, friendly, intelligent, speaks English.

Woman: Frank?  Hi, I’m Amy.  Nice place.

(Frank types a little – Woman’s boobs grow)

Woman: Can I?

(Frank types a little – Woman pulls hair down)

Woman: I’ll have one of these and a bagel with non-fat cream cheese thanks.

(Frank hits Backspace a few times)

Woman: ….with cream cheese thanks.

(Frank types a little – Woman takes off glasses, opens shirt a bit)

Woman: Cute computer!

(Frank hits Backspace a few times)

Woman:  ….with cream cheese thanks.  Hot mac.

Frank:  So close.  (Frank hits Backspace a few times)

Woman:  Hot mac.  Have you seen the new G5 with built-in iSight hardware?

Frank:  Perfect.  And save.
