(Scene starts)
Is that all right, what you ordered?
M: Yes, it’s very, very nice, thank you. Extremely plesant
Good. This is nice
M: It looks like
Yes, it is… It’s a sort of soup
M: yes
Vegetable I think
M: Yes. It looks delicious… This is a sort of fruit
Yes
M: I’m not sure what sort though
I’ll ask them. If you like. I’ll ask them
M: It could be a melon but it tastes like pineapple. I think there’s melon in it, but there’s something else as well
Could be pineapple
M: Yes, it could well be pineapple
Or perhaps lychees
M: Cheese?
No, lychees. It’s a Chinese fruit…
M: Oh, yes. No. I’ve had lychees before in the Chinese
Yes. That’s where you tend to get them
M: I don’t really like them actually. I always think I’m eating eyeballs
Really?
M: Or something similar
What?
M: Nothing
Sorry?
(He smiles at her. They attempt to regain their dignity. They eat)
You look really- very- very attractive. If you don’t mind me saying…
M: Oh. Thank you
Terrific. I hardly recognized you
M: Well, I thought I’d make an effort
Yes
M: One of the girls in the salon did it for me last night. The hair
Must have taken a bit of time
M: It did. Hours. Especially with my hair
Really?
M: Had to sleep last night with my neck on a plank
A plank?
M: Well, a board, you know
A board?
M: A wooden board, you know, to stop it getting flattened?
Stop what getting flattened?
M: My hair
Oh, I see… Do you have it done like that very often?
M: No, not very often
Ah
M: Only when I’m going out somewhere
ah
M: But I don’t go out much
You were out last week
m: Pardon?
You were out last week. Here
M: Yes, I know
But you weren’t dressed up like that
M: No, well. That was a blind date wasn’t it…
I’m- I’m glad you think I’m worth it…
M: Well, we’ll have to see, won’t we? Worth the risk
Er… Where’d you get the plank?
M: Pardon
The plank you had to sleep on. Where’d you get it
M: It was my bookshelf
Oh. What did you do with the books?
M: Put them on the floor
Ah
M: I’ve only got three
Oh
M: I prefer magazines, really… My dad put it up for me
Sorry?
