Situation 21:
Meeting Bill
(Mike and Nancy finish their laundry,and Mike
leaves for home.He meets Bill on the way.)
Hey,Mike,where are you going with that laundry in your hand?
What’s up, Bill?
Nothing much.I just left that girl I met at the party.
But it’s three thirty;have you been togeter since last night?
Yep.
You dog.
No,it’s not what you think.She’s a really nice
girl and we just sat up and talked all night.
I thought you didn’t want to meet a nice girl.
Actually,I didn’t at first.But once I started talking with
her it was different.
This is not like you.What was so different?
She’s intelligent and funny and....(Bill stops and thinks
And what?
And beautiful.
You sound like you’re in love.
I think I am.
But I thought you didn’t believe in love
at first sight.
I didn’t before last night, but now
I’m not so sure.
Wow,of all my friends you are the
last person I expected to be saying this.
I’m surprised too but it’s all true.What can I say?
You don’t have to say anything.I think
it’s great.But I have to run.My laundry is going to
get wrinkled.
What?I may be in love for the first time in my
life and you’re worri ed about your laundry!
Sorry.Hey,why don’t you come to my room and we can talk
about it there?
That’s a great idea. Let’s go.
