Featured Scene – Rather Be a Man
PAM: It’s happening too much. I feel like I need to wear a blanket whenever I step foot outside my house.
KIM: Yeah. There’s this guy who lives directly across the street from my house, and every time I step outside, he is always at his window, waving to me. I never wave back.
PAM: Really? That’s unsettling.
KIM: Yeah. I don’t even know him.
PAM: How weird.
KIM: Totally weird.
PAM: And you’ve never spoken to him?
KIM: No. He just stands there, waves and smiles. No other communication whatsoever.
PAM: Every time you leave your place?
KIM: Every time.
PAM: That’s exhausting.
KIM: It is.
PAM: I was at the salon the other day, and the manager there just won’t leave me alone. I might have to find another place now, but I love this one treatment there; it makes my skin glow.
KIM: Yeah, your skin’s glowing.
PAM: Right? But this manager, Brian, is ruining my life.
KIM: Go when he’s not there.
PAM: I have gone on all different days of the week, and he is always there.
KIM: No way.
PAM: Always.
KIM: How rude.
PAM: He glares at me, as if I’m a piece of meat!
KIM: Maybe just go there with a mask on.
PAM: It won’t help. I’ve tried that.
KIM: Or put on a hoodie.
PAM: I’ve done that.
KIM: You’re kidding.
PAM: I even go there in workout gear, and I pull up my hood.
KIM: And he still doesn’t get the hint?
PAM: Nope, he still thinks I’m flirting with him.
KIM: He’s in love with himself.
PAM: He is. These sunglasses help a bit, cause they’re so big, they cover most of my face, and they’re dark, so at least I can ignore him.
KIM: Can’t go anywhere anymore.
PAM: It’s just rude, when it’s uncalled for.
KIM: We’ll have to find another place. Forget that place. (beat) Oh no!
PAM: What?!
KIM: “You have a nice smile.” guy is circling back.
PAM: Seriously?
KIM: Yeah, he’s driving what looks like a black Honda.
PAM: Black Honda?
KIM: It’s a Honda.
PAM: What should we do?
