50 - How Could You?
Wednesday morning inside the hall closet ...
stretch ... yawn
ESMODONTI:
Hey Mezzie, wake up.
MEZ:
Huh?
ESMODONTI:
C’mon, we gotta go. It’s almost sunrise. I gotta get to my coffin.
MEZ:
Coffin? Oh yeah, vampire. You really do that?
ESMODONTI:
Uh-huh. Not much of a morning person huh? Me either.
MEZ:
Es about last night…
ESMODONTI:
Yeah about that, don’t go getting clingy on me. If we hook
up again, that’s cool, if not, that’s cool too. Don't sweat
it, Mez - I like to keep things light. Got me?
MEZ:
Yeah, sure.
ESMODONTI:
Hey wait, my pointy ears tell me someone’s coming.
CAMMEO:
Mez! You nearly scared me to death.
MEZ:
Cammeo, hi. What are you doing up so early?
CAMMEO:
You know I fix breakfast every morning for everyone.
I looked for you last night but I …
CAMMEO:
... Esmodonti? What are you doing here?
Mez has a jacket just like… that one.
MEZ:
I can explain ...
CAMMEO:
Explain? Explain what? You mean you and … How could you?
MEZ:
Cammeo wait a second. Please just listen ...
CAMMEO:
No - I don't want to hear anything you have to say to me sniff ...
sniff. I can't believe you could do this. I have to go now. Leave me be.
ESMODONTI:
Feel like I walked in on the middle of a flick. What’s her deal, cherie?
MEZ:
She’s my girlfriend, was my girlfriend.
ESMODONTI:
Really? You never told me.
MEZ:
Yeah right. You’re telling me you didn’t know?
ESMODONTI:
You think I set you up? What do ya take me for? I had no clue you two were together. And now, I’m get to be the bad guy in this.
Sorry hon, but you’re not sticking this on me.
MEZ:
You're right. Did you see the look on her face?
I think I'm going to be sick …
