Lucy: It’s Christine, right?

Christine (Tara): Right! We have that creative writing class together.

Lucy: I haven’t seen you since last semester.

Christine: And you probably won’t. Aren’t you in theology or something? You want to be a minister.

Lucy: Yeah! And I’m sorry I’ve forgotten what you’re studying.

Christine: I’m going to be a teacher. Well, I hope. I’m just trying to make it through this year.

Lucy: Do you want a cup of coffee? I’m studying but I’ll take a break.

Christine: I can’t, I have to find a place to stay. Everyone in our apartment building has dogs. Lots of dogs and the whole place is infested with fleas so they’re tinting it and we all have to leave for 48 hours.

Lucy: Where’s your dog?

Christine: I’m the only person without a dog. I walk everybody’s dogs. It’s how I pay my way through school.

Lucy: So you’re a dog walker. Interesting.

Christine: A dog walker with no place to stay tonight. I’ve got to get going. But it was so nice to see you!

Lucy: Wait! Wait, you know, my dad’s a minister and there are seven kids in my family. We’re used to having a lot of people drop in. A lot of people. You could stay with us!

Christine: But you don’t even know me.

Lucy: I know you don’t have a place to stay and there’s an empty room in our house.

Christine: Thanks! That is so nice of you. I accept!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lucy (to Simon): Oh hey, um, what’s your hurry? I want you to meet someone.

Simon (to Christine): Hi, sorry, I have to kill someone.

Lucy: Wait! Simon, this is Christine she’s a friend of mine from school and she’s going to be staying with us for a couple of nights.

Simon: It’s nice to meet you; I still have to kill someone.

Lucy: Wait! What is wrong with you? Stop saying you have to kill someone, that’s not very nice and we have company!

Simon: Do you have any idea what’s wrong with Ruthie?

Lucy: No, but whatever it is you should calm down before you talk to her.

Simon: (Leaves)

Christine: Cute!

Lucy: More like rude!

Christine: How old is he?

Lucy: Too young for you, he’s seventeen.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ruthie (to Christine): Do you have a boyfriend?

Christine: Yeah, I have a boyfriend.

Lucy: Do I know him?

Christine: No, he’s not in school.

Cecelia: What does he do?

Christine: Oh…he’s a cop.

Roxanne: What division?

Christine: (shrugs)

Lucy: You know, Roxanne’s in the police force and so is Kevin. Maybe they know him, what’s his name?

Christine: Your husband’s a policeman?

Lucy: (nods)

Roxanne: So am I, yeah, what’s his name?

Christine: Oh, I don’t know if I should say anything, I mean maybe he doesn’t want everyone to know we’re dating.

Cecelia: Why not?

Roxanne: Is he married?

Christine: No, he’s not married! But we just started dating and-

Roxanne: Come on, I won’t say anything to anyone! Who is he?

Christine: Mike…and that’s all I’m saying.

Roxanne: Cain?

Lucy: She doesn’t want to say.

Roxanne: Oh come on, is it?

Christine: No. It’s not.

Roxanne: Smith?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Roxanne: I didn’t go to my prom. Junior year or senior year. No one asked me.

Lucy: No one asked me either.

Christine: Same with me!

Ruthie: Why didn’t you ask a guy to take you?

Roxanne: Cause I was afraid of being turned down.

Lucy: So was I.

Christine: Me too.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Christine (sees Happy): Get away! Shoo!

Peter: She won’t hurt you. Happy’s very friendly. Really! She won’t hurt anyone.

Christine: I know that. Good Night.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Christine (to Simon): Oh no you caught me! I’m so embarrassed! I forgot my robe.

Simon: (stutters) please you don’t have to- I have three sisters I don’t get embarrassed that easily.

Christine: (nods and smiles)

Simon: Can I get you some more milk?

Christine: Yeah! I love being in a kitchen where there are actual home-baked cookies and cold whole milk. Its heaven and it’s nothing like living alone. (sits down) So, I hear you want to go to prom but Cecelia doesn’t.

Simon: Great. So she won’t talk to me but she’ll talk to you. (Takes off his jacket and offers it to Christine) Here. Why don’t you put this on? You’ll be a lot warmer. (To himself) and less visible.

Christine: Thanks. Cookie?

Simon: You know, maybe I will.

Christine: You know, I never had the opportunity to go to my own prom. So it’s hard for me to understand Cecelia’s feelings about this. I mean, proms are so magical. Don’t you think?

Simon: I know. That’s why I want to go.

Christine: Poor Simon.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lucy (to Christine): I just wanted see if you wanted to go to the library with me.

Christine: No thanks, but I’ve got some studying to do here.

Lucy: (nods)

Christine: Cecelia and Simon- have they been going out for very long?

Lucy: Almost a year- the entire school year. You’re not thinking of- you wouldn’t go out with…What I’m trying to ask you is you wouldn’t break up a high-school boy and his girlfriend when you already have a boyfriend who’s a grown man and a cop. Would you?

Christine: What do you think I’m nuts?

Lucy: Oh…I’m sorry. I-I don’t know why I jumped to that conclusion. I feel like such an idiot! You and Simon dating- wow, where would I get such a crazy idea like that?

Christine: I don’t know. I mean just because we’re going to the prom together doesn’t mean we’re dating.
