ELLEN
(cutting her off)
What do you mean? I am not controlling!
~I like Bob! Are you embarrassed of him
or something?
RANDI
You've always made fun of him, Ellen.
ELLEN
That's because I'm a cunt, Randi. I
don't mean anything by it.
RANDI
(covers her ears in horror)
Jez! It's bad enough when a man uses
that word. But a woman!
ELLEN
It's only a word. Sorry. I won't use it
again.
RANDI
When people talk that way, using swear
words all the time, it means that they're
insecure and lack self esteem. They feel
this is their way of letting other people
believe that they're superior when in
reality...
ELLEN
(cutting her off. A little to
loudly.)
Thank you! I said I was sorry. From now
on I'll watch my "fuck this and fuck
that's". All RIGHT?
The two then look up and a priest passes by their table
that same moment.He stops for a moment and looks at the
two. Ellen smiles brightly. Randi looks at him, she
looks horrified. The two then quickly look down and
begin to eat quickly. They eat for a few moments.
ELLEN (CONT'D)
Are you going to tell me about you and
Bob?
RANDI
(Exhales)
It all started when we went to get a dog.
And then we went back to his shop and
then ate candy. And made out. So, no
big deal, really.
ELLEN
A dog! What the..?
(catching herself.Changing
tone.)
Things must be going well if you been
seeing him for a few weeks.
RANDI
I've no idea. I mean, he's a nice guy
but can you really see something
building between us.
ELLEN
You're jumpin' the gun, honey. All I
asked is if you've been having a nice
time. And if you mashed faces I take it
that you're are.
(slight pause and with a
smirk.)
Did you make the beast with two backs
yet?
RANDI
Huh?
ELLEN
(A bit too loudly.)
Fucked, have you fucked!
The two women catch themselves and look around the
restaurant.
RANDI
Shhh! ~Ellen! Please?
(defensively)
I didn't want to go out with him! Edward
made me. He said that if he had to go
out with the Mormon then I had to go on a
date with Bob.
ELLEN
What? Why are you talking about Mormons?
