Meghan’s True Voice (MTV)
Derek’s True Voice (DTV)
Meghan and Derek sit at a table together. Meghan has been crying.
MEGHAN- I guess it’s hopeless. Might as well give up on dating.
DEREK- No, don’t say that.
MEGHAN- It’s true. I might as well join a convent.
DEREK- That’s not true. You’ll find someone.
MEGHAN- How? With my sparking personality?
DEREK- What are you talking about? Do you know how hot you are?
MEGHAN- No I’m not.
DEREK- You are! You have a gorgeous smile!
MEGHAN- No.
DEREK- And you have beautiful eyes, too.
MEGHAN- You think my eyes are pretty?
DEREK- Of course I do.
MEGHAN- You are so sweet.
The Announcer enters. Meghan and Derek freeze.
ANNOUNCER- They are cute, aren’t they? A typical girl with a broken heart, and a typical boy, ready to be a friend.
DEREK- You know what’ll make you feel better? How about a blizzard from DQ?
MEGHAN- Sure, that’s just what I need. More fat on my hips.
DEREK- Are you crazy? I told you, you’re hot!
MEGHAN- I am not. I need to exercise.
DEREK- You’re just perfect the way you are.
ANNOUNCER- Isn’t that the sweetest?
MEGHAN- Well, I suppose one blizzard won’t hurt.
DEREK- So you ready?
MEGHAN- Let’s go.
Derek and Meghan freeze.
ANNOUNCER- Yes, it sounds all sweet and innocent, this little pep session. But let’s be honest… they’re both not saying what they really mean. You want to know what’s really going on? Then listen to this.
The Announcer exits.
MEGHAN- I guess it’s hopeless. Might as well give up on dating.
MTV- I need someone to boost my ego. Got time?
DEREK- No, don’t say that.
DTV- All right, a needy girl! I bet she wants to make out with me.
MEGHAN- It’s true. I might as well join a convent.
MTV- Tell me how desirable I am.
DEREK- That’s not true. You’ll find someone.
DTV- We need to hook up!
MEGHAN- How? With my sparking personality?
MTV- Tell me I’m beautiful.
DEREK- What are you talking about? Do you know how hot you are?
DTV- I’ll say whatever you want to hear for a kiss.
MEGHAN- No I’m not.
MTV- Go on, you’re doing great.
DEREK- You are! You have a gorgeous smile!
DTV- You have a nice butt!
MEGHAN- No.
MTV- Keep going, more, more!
DEREK- And you have beautiful eyes, too.
DTV- You also have really nice… err, other parts!
MEGHAN- You think my eyes are pretty?
MTV- You’re doing great.
DEREK- Of course I do.
DTV- Can we make out now?
MEGHAN- You are so sweet.
MTV- No, but thanks for telling me I’m hot.
DEREK- You know what’ll make you feel better? How about a blizzard from DQ?
DTV- We can make out after ice cream!
MEGHAN- Sure, that’s just what I need. More fat on my hips.
MTV- Tell me I’m hot and I’ll think about it.
DEREK- Are you crazy? I told you, you’re hot!
DTV- Come on! I really want to kiss you!
MEGHAN- I am not. I need to exercise.
MTV- Keep going, a little more.
DEREK- You’re just perfect the way you are.
DTV- And did I mention you have a really nice butt?
MEGHAN- Well, I suppose one blizzard won’t hurt.
MTV- Good boy, you’re earned the right to buy me dessert.
DEREK- So you ready?
DTV- So we’re gonna make out?
MEGHAN- Let’s go.
MTV- We are not making out… but I’ll fill you in after a blizzard.
