LOSERS IN LOVE
PART 3
PART 3
(RANDY jumps up excited. He turns to TASHA)
RANDY
I earned the Holy High Lord ruler achievement on Clash of the Kings 3! You think you can beat that?
TASHA
I don’t even know what that means.
RANDY
That means I am unbeatable!
TASHA
Whatever.
RANDY
I thought women were impressed by guys who accomplish something.
TASHA
I don’t think any video game accomplishment is going to turn my head. Look! I’m busy trying to arrange a trade deal with a Chinese company.
RANDY
All work and no play makes for a dull Dorothy.
TASHA
My name’s Tasha, not Dorothy.
RANDY
Hi, Tasha. My name’s Randy.
TASHA
That wasn’t an invitation to flirt.
RANDY
That was flirting? I always wondering how to do that well.
TASHA
That wasn’t done well. I’m busy, okay?
RANDY
It must be cool working out international trade deals.
TASHA
It’s complicated and a lot of work so…
RANDY
So let me help by getting you some coffee. Be right back.
TASHA
Wait… no… uh…
(MARIANE has been listening to RANDY the whole time he has been at the cafe’)
MARIANNE
Don’t be too hard on him. He’s very nice and... kind of cute.
TASHA
Him? Are you blind?
MARIANNE
Well… Yes… Legally blind.
TASHA
What? Oh, man. I’m sorry…
MARIANNA
It’s okay… I always hear him and he sounds very nice. He’s always friendly and helpful. There was an old couple that came in here and didn’t know how to order and what to get and he helped them… he even helped carry their stuff out to their car. He can be very sweet. Is he not good looking?
TASHA
Uh… well… no… he’s fine.
MARIANNA
Fine as in “fine” or as in okay?
TASHA
I don’t know. He’s not my type but he seems alright? On a scale of Brad Pitt to Nosferatu he’s a 5. Maybe a 4 and a half.
MARIANNA
Looks aren’t important. It’s kindness and respect that really matter.
TASHA
And maybe he’d enjoy being your seeing eye dog too… I wish you’d all stop talking to me! I’m working!
MARIANNA
Geez… why are you working in a busy cafe anyway? Get an office or something.
TASHA
Maybe I like the atmosphere here.
MARIANNE
Maybe you don’t have a real job and you’re just pretending to be someone important to impress people.
(TASHA gives MARIANNE a really dirty look. Then she gets an evil smile)
TASHA
You know what? Maybe I like Randy after all.
MARIANNE
What? No, you don’t.
(MARIANNE is upset by this)
TASHA
Oh, dear. Have you been hoping Randy would notice you and flirt with you like he just did with me?
MARIANNE
I don’t want to talk to you anymore.
TASHA
Were you hoping he was a nice guy who would take pity on a blind girl?
MARIANNE
I wish I had a seeing eye dog so he could bite you right now.
(RANDY returns with coffee)
RANDY
I got your coffee, Tasha. I thought you’d like some toffee flavor… get it? Tasha… Toffee.
TASHA
Oh you’re so funny, Ricky.
RANDY
Randy.
TASHA
Whatever. Wow, this coffee is so good. I should keep you around as my personal assistant.
RANDY
I’d like that.
TASHA
You could fetch me coffee and do my errands…
RANDY
And give you back rubs.
TASHA
That would be so nice.
MARIANNE
How much are you going to pay him? He should get paid if he is your assistant.
TASHA
He’ll do it for free.
RANDY
Yeah, sure.
TASHA
He already bought me coffee. Go buy me a sandwich too, Ronny.
RANDY
Um.. okay.
(RANDY goes back to buy a sandwich)
MARIANNE
Leave him alone. He’s not your servant. He’s a nice guy and you’re taking advantage of him.
(MARIANNE jumps up and knocks TASHA’s drink onto her computer or knocks down her computer on the floor. RANDY rushes over to help)
TASHA
Hey! You idiot! Look what you did. That’s my work you just destroyed!
(TASHA storms off with her computer)
RANDY
Hey, you can use my computer.
MARIANNE
You shouldn’t let people treat you that way. She was being mean to you.
RANDY
I can’t believe you did that to her. Now you’ve made her mad. I’ll never get a date with her now.
(RANDY exits after TASHA)
