LOSERS IN LOVE
PART 8
(RANDY stands up annoyed. JENNY looks at him)
JENNY
Where are you going?
RANDY
Geez even cows get more action than I do. This sucks. I’m going home.
(RANDY exits and then MARIANNE arrives)
MARIANNE
Randy still here? I wrote something… I wanted him to hear it.
JENNY
Aren’t you mad at him?
MARIANNE
I was. Not anymore. And I can’t stop thinking about him.
JENNY
He might have left. I’ll see if I can find him.
MARIANNE
That’s okay. Maybe you could record my speech on your phone or something and we can send it to him.
JENNY
Okay.
(JENNY sits with her phone out. MARIANNE touches a braille page as she speaks. RANDY comes back because he forgot his coat, but stays and listens)
MARIANNE
You say the stupidest things. Sometimes I cry and sometimes I get mad.
Sometimes it makes me laugh. But no matter what you say, I always want to hear your voice
Because when you say something good, it’s so very good
When you say something funny, I always smile and feel happy again
And you’re the only guy who doesn’t feel sorry for me
You don’t pity the blind girl, I’m even sure that you know I can’t see
And that’s the nicest feeling, knowing that you don’t care
That you see me for something else beside the blind girl
You see me as a woman and I love feeling like a woman with you
I love the way you sniff my hair when you get close
(everyone looks nervously at each other and Jenny steps up)
I love the way you breathe on me when we get too close
I love…
JENNY
This doesn’t get too… uh… personal does it?
MARIANNE
Um… well… I don’t know… I’ll skip to the last part then.
(They notice RANDY - and they all clear out and leave them alone)
MARIANNE
So I can forgive you every time you do something dumb
Because all the things you do right are so very right
And I feel more alive because of you
RANDY
You really feel that way… about me?
MARIANNE
I do.
RANDY
That’s probably the nicest thing anybody wrote about me. Well, it might be the only thing wrote about me but it is the best I ever heard.
MARIANNE
I’m sorry I’ve been so touchy… and weird… I wanted you to know that I am not mad anymore.
RANDY
Why not?
MARIANNE
Because it’s no fun being mad. I want to do the happy stuff now.
RANDY
Like what?
MARIANNE
What makes you happy, Randy?
RANDY
You mean like pizza?
(MARIANNE laughs)
MARIANNE
What makes you happy about me?
RANDY
Oh… you smell good. Really good. I can’t stop, sniffing you.
(MARIANNE goes to him)
MARIANNE
What do I smell like now?
RANDY
Fruit… oranges.
MARIANNE
Close enough. You like that smell?
RANDY
I love that smell. I love all your smells. I didn’t know girls could smell so good. I mean sometime they do poo-foo but for some reason you smell so much better than the rest of them.
MARIANNE
Poo-foo? (Laughs)
RANDY
That’s what my grannie called it.
MARIANNE
That’s cute.
RANDY
She was pretty cute… and silly.
MARIANNE
Like you.
RANDY
And Jenny. She smells kind of bad.
(MARIANNE laughs)
MARIANNE
You think so?
RANDY
She likes onions… and I can tell when she’s had them on her food. Don’t tell her I said that.
MARIANNE
I won’t.
RANDY
Frank likes onions too so they’re a good match.
MARIANNE
Are we a good match Randy?
RANDY
Are we a match?
MARIANNE
I would like to be.
RANDY
Me too.
MARIANNE
Let’s be a good match then.
RANDY
Okay.
MARIANNE
What you want to do now?
RANDY
Do you like pizza?
MARIANNE
You have a one track mind.
RANDY
I really like pizza.
MARIANNE
Let’s go have some pizza then. On me.
RANDY
Really? This is a good match.
MARIANNE
I think so too.
(They exit)
