Drommen and Phillipa

 

Phillipa: That was one hell of a night, Trigger.

Drommen: I know that’s the name of a horse, but it doesn’t do much for appearances when it comes to longevity.

Phillipa: Oh you’ve got that. At least after the first three times.

Drommen smiles self-satisfactorily.

Phillipa: And you make one hell of a breakfast.

Drommen: Thank you. What time do you get off work?

Phillipa: (shrugs) Later.

Drommen: Do you want to get together?

Phillipa: Already? Next thing you’ll be asking me to meet your family.

Drommen clasps his hands on his lap.

Phillipa: Cool it, Sport. I’ll give you a call sometime. (kisses him on the cheek. Whispers:) Thank you.

Drommen: Look, I need to be honest. I’m never going to change, and nobody’s going to make me.

Hillary: But I thought …

Drommen: I’m sorry if I gave you the wrong impression. I’d like to be friends if that’s okay.

Drommen sits at the window. Phillipa takes the seat beside him.

Drommen: It’s you again!

Phillipa: Well look at that; so it is.

Drommen: I think I’m ready this time.

Phillipa: To masturbate for me? Isn’t that lovely.

Drommen opens his trenchcoat.

Phillipa: (pulls an apple out of her bag and takes a big juicy bite) You know, I’ve never done this before. (wipes juice off her chin) Is it going to be messy?

Drommen: (watching her) Errr …

Phillipa: Because I have tissues in here somewhere. (digs in her purse and pulls out a pair of panties) Can you hold this for me?

Drommen takes them.

Phillipa: I had to take those off earlier today. I’m going commando right now.

Drommen: Uh huh.

Phillipa: They were just so wet … I get very excited, just spontaneously. You might not be the only one who needs a tissue here.

Drommen: Uh huh.

Phillipa: Oh here they are. (pulls out a package of tissues and holds her hand out) Can I have those back now.

Drommen: Sure.

Phillipa: Okie dokie. Whip it out, and let’s get started.

Drommen: Err…

Phillipa: Something the matter?

Drommen: This has never happened to me before.

Meghan and T.J.

 

Meghan: You going to Tim Horton’s today?

T.J.: I wasn’t planning on it, why?

Meghan: It’s Camp Day.

T.J.: Oh yeah! No. I’m not going to Tim’s.

Meghan: You don’t want to send a kid to camp?

T.J.: Not really. I don’t think any kid should be subjected to that many mosquitoes.

Meghan: But it’s not all about the mosquitoes.

T.J.: Not to mention the spiders, snakes, raccoons, bears …

Meghan: You never went camping as a kid, did you?

T.J.: How can you tell?

Meghan: ‘Coz there’s so much more to it than that.

T.J.: Like what?

Meghan: Sleeping in a tent, canoeing, the campfire …

T.J.: Finding out there’s a rock in the middle of the tent when you’re trying to get to sleep, getting caught in a sudden storm in the middle of the lake, melting the toes of your sneakers because you’re freezing to death … I have friends who went.

Meghan: McDonald’s?

T.J.: (nods) It’s for the kids.

Farmer Brown (and Drew)

 

Farmer Brown sits at the window. Drew takes the seat beside him.

Drew: Nice cowboy boots you got there.

Farmer Brown: Thanks. I got these when I got my horse. She died just yesterday.

Drew: No!

Farmer Brown: (shrugs) It happens.

Drew: That’s true. It’s a funny life we have here on this green earth. Here one day, gone the next. It’s fleeting, and yet we take it for granted. One day each and every one of us will be forgotten. Still, I’m sorry for your loss. So what will you do now?

Farmer Brown: Buy a new pair of boots.

Drommen (and Phillipa)

 

Drommen sits at the window. Phillipa takes the seat beside him.

Drommen: Nice afternoon.

Phillipa: Yes it is. I do love it when the sun is warm with a gentle breeze coming off the water.

Drommen: I agree. Listen, do you mind if I masturbate?

Phillipa: Not at all.

Phillipa takes off her sunglasses. Drommen gasps.

Phillipa: What?

Drommen: You have the most stunning blue eyes I’ve ever seen.

Phillipa: (smiles) Thank you. Now, you were going to show me something?

Drommen: (staring into her eyes) I don’t know if I can.

Phillipa: (laughs lightly) Why ever not?

Drommen: I … I’m lost … Lost in your gaze.

Phillipa: Well, I could shut my eyes, but that would defeat the purpose, wouldn’t it?

Drommen: (whispers) Yes.

Phillipa: Perhaps another time then? When you’ve gotten over the shock?

Drommen: (whispers) Yes.

Phillipa: (stands) This is my stop. (holds out hand) It was nice meeting you Mr. …

Drommen: Drommen. (shakes her hand) Jake Drommen.

Phillipa: It was nice meeting you, Jake Drommen.

Phillipa gets off the bus, leaving Drommen totally limp.
