Chicken Cutlet Sandwich and Some Wings

Yolanda: Why you so touchy feely?  So sensitive!  I can’t say nothing without you taking offense to it.  What’s wrong with you?

Doogie: You don’t see yourself. You always have something negative to say.

Yolanda: Yeah but I’m playing with you though.

Doogie: Doesn’t feel like playing.

Yolanda: How long you know me Doogie?

Doogie: Forever.

Yolanda: So whatch you sayin’?

Doogie: You get aggressive.

Yolanda: Awwww, poor Doogie gettin’ all sad on me.

Doogie: See? That tone right there. It’s like you don’t like me.

Yolanda: Course I like you. You’re my best friend.

Doogie: You sure?

Yolanda: You on your period?

Doogie: You need to chill.

Yolanda: Damn.

Doogie: (snaps) I’m serious!

(BEAT)

Yolanda: I’ll leave you alone then.

Doogie: I don’t want to be left alone, I just want to be treated right! Is that so hard for everybody to understand?

(BEAT)

Yolanda: …What’s up?

DOOGIE pulls his shirt over his shoulder to reveal a dark bruise.

What the hell?

Doogie: My brothers beat the sh’t out of me last night.

Yolanda: Like play fighting or for real?

Doogie: For real.

Yolanda: Does it hurt?

YOLANDA touches DOOGIE’S bruise and he winces.

Oh!  Sorry!

Doogie: Damn!  (puts his shirt back over his shoulder)

Yolanda: Why those morons always do that to you?!

Doogie: There was no dinner but I saw a chicken cutlet sandwich and some wings in the fridge, so I ate it. It was their food and they kicked my ass.

Yolanda: Why didn’t you come by me for dinner?

Doogie: How many times am I going to come over for food?

Yolanda: Every day if you want.

Doogie: Yeah, well, I’m hoping I get this job at McDonalds cause then I can eat and get paid.

Yolanda: You applied?

Doogie: Yeah.

Yolanda: Ain’t that far from where we live?

Doogie: Take my bike.

Yolanda: …I feel stupid now. I should already know, right?

Doogie: It’s not your fault Yola. You’re just being you.

(BEAT)

Yolanda: Maybe I can work with you, get a job at Mickey D’s too.

Doogie: You would suck. Ha ha.

Yolanda: Whatch you mean? I can flip burgers better than you any day of the week.

Doogie: I don’t think we need to flip burgers. I think they nuke them, don’t they?

Yolanda: Whatever.

DOOGIE smiles.

Doogie: So, what’s on the menu tonight, I’m starving.

Yolanda: Let’s find out. I’m hungry too.

Doogie: Your mom don’t mind me coming over all the time?

Yolanda: Hell no. She loves you.

Doogie: I love her cooking. She can open up her own restaurant.

Yolanda: Shut up.

Doogie: Just saying.
