Bad Air Texas Part 9
STACY
(Enters R)
Rick, I thought I asked you to see me when Cami returned.
RICK
Sorry, we got really busy here.
CAMI
(Aside to RICK)
And she wanted to get busy back there too.
(CAMI pokes RICK playfully and then goes to her computer. She commences doing one finger typing, careful not to break a nail. She switches to the mouse)
STACY
Looks like we’re behind schedule anyway. I just received a report that President Corbichovich’s plane might be arriving sooner than planned. This calls for operation Dazzle the Dictator…
RICK
Yes, Ms. Toredovich. What do we do?
STACY
First we get out the welcome banners.
(Points R and UC)
I want them there and there. Next we need to get out the red carpet…
CAMI
Are you serious?
STACY
I do not joke around.
CAMI
(Under her breath)
I think you’re funny.
STACY
What’s that?
CAMI
You’re sweeter than honey.
STACY
You are so weird.
(Turns back to RICK)
Now, what was I saying?
RICK
We need to hang the red carpet, there and there…
(Points UC, then R)
STACY
(Sees R)
Oh, no. I think it’s starting to snow out there.
CAMI
It never snows here.
RICK
Actually it does sometimes…
CAMI
Hardly enough to notice.
RICK
(Crosses R)
You’ll notice this. It’s really coming down.
CAMI
(Hits computer)
This alert keeps popping up and ruining a perfectly good game of solitaire.
STACY
(Crosses to CAMI)
What alert?
CAMI
(Reads)
Winter storm warning.
STACY
Oh, great. Check and see when flight one-eleven arrives.
RICK
(Looks over CAMI's shoulder)
It’s already here!
STACY
(Gets on loud speaker)
Flight one-eleven is at gate A13.
(Turns to others)
I’ll go with you to greet them. Cami you come too. Rick, you greet his daughter here and wait for us.
RICK
But she…
CAMI
She is in good hands.
STACY
Let’s go.
