variation 4 - scene
Nick? What are you doing here?
MAN: Meg? Oh, that’s right. You’re leaving for D.C. today.
What are you doing here?
MAN: A friend of mine is picking up her grand-mother today; I told her I could giver her a ride. I guess I didn’t think about seeing you here. Sorry, it’s kind of awkward.
No, I’m glad! I was going to call you anyway, as soon as I got to D.C. I wanted to apologize for last night. I said some really horrible things and I just wanted to tell you how sorry I was.
MAN: Hey, no problem.
No, it is. I don’t know what happened; I don’t know why I got so angry. I guess… I guess the thought of being so far away from you… just… I don’t know, I started getting so angry with myself for choosing that stupid school. I don’t even know why I applied there. And when I got in, I guess I didn’t even think about us or what would happen. I’m just so stupid.
MAN: Stop it, you are not stupid. Don’t worry about it.
Anyway, I just wanted to let you know how much I love you. And you know, lots of people do long distance relationships. For my birthday I could fly down to visit you. That won’t seem like anything-
MAN: Look Meg, I think you’re really special and all, I mean that, I really do. But maybe it is best that we take a little break. You know, we’ll be at new schools, meeting new people. Who knows what can happen?
But I don’t want that. I want you.
OTHER WOMAN 4: Oh, you’re Meg. Nick told me all about you.
Nick can I talk to you for a second? Alone?
MAN: : Well, we’re kinda running late…
Please!?
OTHER WOMAN: All right, but don’t keep him too long. We’re going to get something to eat while we wait. (OTHER WOMAN EXITS)
What the hell is she doing here?
MAN: I told you, we’re here to pick up her grand-
That’s not what I mean! What the hell are you doing with her!
MAN: She’s a friend of mine. I’m helping her out. She called me last night and we talked for a while. And by the way, what the hell do you care? You made it real clear last night that we were done.
I said I was sorry. I said I made a mistake. I love you.
MAN: Meg, look, you wanted to go away to college, I supported you, I didn’t make any demands on you. This is what you wanted.
Well I don’t want it anymore! I want you! and you still want me too. Why else do you have those Twizzlers?
OTHER WOMAN: Nick, we’ve got to go or we won’t have time to eat. Sorry to steal him away from you , but you promised him breakfast. Nice meeting you.
Nick, please…
