I’m Not the Needy Type, Right?

“I’m not the needy type, right?” brings together best friends Natalie and Meagan in this hilarious one-act eplay titled, Phone Calls.

Meagan: I’m not the needy type, right?

Natalie: You are not needy.

(her phone rings again)

Meagan: It’s Frank, it’s Frank, it’s Frank, it’s Frank. Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay! Ummmmmmm, I gotta answer now, right?

Natalie: Answer it! Answer it!

Meagan: Okay, okay! (taking in deep breath) Hello? Hello?! (beat) He hung up!

Natalie: Maybe he hung up at the same time you answered your phone. Relax—

Meagan: No, no…you see? You see what I mean? I’m just jinxed, I’m cursed with men in my life. I will never never never be happy.

Natalie: That’s not true. In the grand scheme of things you have had many happy moments with men.

Meagan: Yes, but they don’t last. I’m such an idiot. I should have answered the phone. I can’t call him back now cause it won’t look right to call him back.

Natalie: Call him back.

Meagan: And say what Nat? It’s loud in here anyway.

Natalie: That’s good. Let him think you have a social life. I mean, you do have a social life but let him think you are too busy for him.

Meagan: You want me to call him back and act like I’m too busy for him?

Natalie: Don’t call him back. All I’m saying is that if he DOES call you again, that you should answer and tell him you will call him back.

Meagan: When?

Natalie: When what?

Meagan: When should I tell him I will call him back?

Natalie: Whenever.

Meagan: What if he asks?

Natalie: Then tell him later on tonight.

Meagan: Tonight?

Natalie: Yeah, why?

Meagan: That won’t seem desperate?

Natalie: How can that seem desperate when you are returning HIS call?

Meagan: You’re right. I’m getting too analytical. I can feel it in my jaw.

Natalie: Your jaw?

Meagan: Whenever I think too much I get a strange build up of tension in my jaw…lock jaw.

(phone rings)

Natalie: Now calmly, calmly answer your phone and tell him what I told you. You will call him later.
