Act 2: Scene 2 Flashcards
JOVIE: And you look… seasonally appropriate.
Thanks!
JOVIE: WELL DON’T FALL IN LOVE WITH AN ELF.
Jovie! I know you are super mad right now
Wow. You look more miraculous than ever.
JOVIE: You are two and a half hours late.
I have a really good explanation.
JOVIE: Go ahead.
I forgot.
JOVIE: That’s your explanation? You forgot?
I remembered it eventually, but for a long time I forgot, which is why I’m late. Oh! Is this Tavern on the Green? With all the lights? Pretty.
JOVIE: Yes and I’m sure some lucky couple had a wonderful evening sitting at our table.
No they didn’t.
JOVIE: Why not?
Because we didn’t have a table. I was going to ask my dad to get us one -
JOVIE: But you forgot.
No. I remembered, but he got really mad at me for making it snow in his office.
JOVIE: Stop. Just. Stop. I can’t take any more of your crazy stories.
But it’s true. And, oh, Jovie, I am so, so sorry I ruined your Christmas dream.
JOVIE: {snip} How sad is that?
That is sad. But it’s nice too.
JOVIE: I just thought if anyone could give me a real Christmas it would be you. “Lower your expectations, so you don’t get disappointed”. I should have that tattooed on my forehead.
Jovie I feel so bad about this, sick in my stomach, like a swallowed a zillion sticks of Juicy Fruit. The last thing in the whole wide world I wanted to do was hurt you.
JOVIE: I don’t want to talk about it anymore. I’m cold, and my feet are killing me in these heels…
Can I just give you a Christmas present?
JOVIE: This is the worst possible time-
Here. This is what New York city looks like when it snows.
Shake it.
Pretty huh? Real snowflakes are smaller than buildings.
Keep it, and look at it later when you’re not furious. It’s real special. I mean, I know you’re not going to believe me, but Santa Claus gave it to me when I left the North Pole.
