ONE SIDED
Hi baby!
excuse me?
I always call you that
of course I know you have a name
know it as well as my own
come on now
you know that is NOT
my name
what’s wrong bab...I mean…?
who?
never heard of her
I don’t know why her name’s in my contacts
maybe it came with the phone
YES, I AM taking this seriously
lighten up jeez!
okay, okay LISTEN I’m sorry
I don’t KNOW her
how could we have gone out?
who said they saw us?
HIM?
hell he’s wanted you for years
WHAT, maybe now’s his chance?
why would you say that?
WAIT, WAIT you mean her?
Ah she’s just a coworker
we go to lunch sometimes
last Friday? maybe
I WAS NOT holding her hand
I was comforting her
A KISS, NO!
oh that meant nothing
she’s European
give me a break!
you’re my one and only
you know that
you are not the only one I lie to
I mean...hell you know what I mean
So, are we still on for Saturday?
I WILL NOT go to hell!
and WHY do you keep calling me that name?
You know I love you, right?
since when did you start using the ‘F’ word?
and, again, with my new name
I’ll call you later?
hello?
hello, babe?
HELLLOOOOOO!
WHATEVER!
