TWO CONTENTLESS SCENES

 

I'M GOING AWAY

A: Hi!

B: Hello.

A: You all right?

B: Yes.

A: Are you sure?

B: Yes, I'm sure. A little headache, that's all.

A: Oh, good! You want some aspirin?

B: No. Don't be so helpful, OK?

A: You are upset.

B: Good Lord!

A: OK, OK--I thought you might want to talk.

B: About what?

A: About anything.

B: I'm going away.

A: What do you mean?

B: I'm going away, that's all--

A: Where?

B: Not far. Don't get excited--

A: When?

B: Now. (starts to leave)

WHAT DID YOU DO LAST NIGHT?

A: Hi!

B: Hello--

A: How's everything?

B: Fine. I guess.

A: Do you know what time it is?

B: No--Not exactly.

A: Don't you have a watch?

B: Not on me.

A: Well?

B: Well what?

A: What did you do last night?

B: What do you mean?

A: What did you do last night?

B: Nothing.

A: Nothing?

B: I said, nothing!

A: I'm sorry I asked.

B: That's all right.
