Mez Herita Cammeo
Late Thursday night ...
MEZ:
… I'm starving.
HERITA:
I suppose ya want me to fix you something?
CAMMEO:
I can do it, it's no bother.
HERITA:
Don't be daft. I'll do it. You know 'ow I 'ate people messin' about in me kitchen. Why are you so late anyway?
MEZ:
Had to work. Chinatsu's doing a big wedding this weekend.
HERITA:
Oh, 'er flower shop. I forgot you worked there.
That explains the sweet aroma comin' from ya.
CAMMEO:
Hehe - He always comes home smelling so pretty.
HERITA:
Downright girlie if ya ask me.
MEZ:
Right, now about my dinner ...
HERITA:
… I 'ave some leftovers in the walk-in.
MEZ:
Do we have any frozen pizza?
CAMMEO:
Pizza? Mez, you've been working all day.
You should have something with protein.
MEZ:
You’re probably right. Make that pepperoni pizza.
HERITA:
If ya like. And a cuppa tea, sis?
CAMMEO:
That would be lovely.
HERITA:
Only if ya get out of me kitchen - now off with ya.
Then ...
MEZ:
Have ya asked her?
CAMMEO:
No, do you really think we should?
MEZ:
I still haven't found it, so why not?
HERITA:
Found what?
HERITA:
What are ya goin’ on about?
MEZ:
Any chance you've seen a little red book?
HERITA:
At some point in me life I must 'ave. What's it to you?
MEZ:
I don't mean just any red book. I'm looking for a very specific one.
It's about vampires. Racolo lost it a while ago and …
HERITA:
Oh ‘im - he's always losing. Too busy for 'is own good - is what 'e is. It's no wonder too, now that 'e's sharing 'is private bits with Usagi. If ya ask me she’s a bit posh for ‘im. Guess it don’t matter under the sheets - eh.
MEZ:
He's - what?
CAMMEO:
Herita please! We're in mixed company.
HERITA:
Relax sis, Mez knows about private bits.
MEZ:
Wait a minute! You mean - Racolo and Usagi?
HERITA:
Ya mean ya didn't know? Them two 'ave been goin' at it like rabbits.
I'm surprised ya 'aven't 'eard 'em. They can be bloody loud about it at times.
CAMMEO:
Herita that's really none of our business. You ought not to be
gossiping about such things. It's … it's inapproprate.
HERITA:
It's them who’s inappropriate if ya ask me.
HERITA:
… 'ere's your tea. The pizza's in the oven, be done in 10 minutes,
and now I'll leave ya to it. I’ll tidy up later. ‘Night.
MEZ:
Can you believe that? Racolo and Usagi ...
CAMMEO:
Tis a bit of a shock …
MEZ:
I have to agree with her - Usagi does seem a little out of his league.
CAMMEO:
Oh my, I just realized - she did it again!
MEZ:
Did what?
CAMMEO:
You asked about the book and she managed to change the topic.
MEZ:
Oh yeah, you’re right. You think she did it on purpose?
CAMMEO:
I can't be certain. It was a juicy bit of gossip and all, but still.
