FADE IN:
EXT. PARK - DAY
A lady is walking her dog. She stops at a bench and rest,
this is Flossy. It's not long until another lady comes and
sits beside her with her dog. This is CHERRELL.
FLOSSY
Hello.
CHERRELL
Hi.
FLOSSY
Sure is a nice day.
CHERRELL
Sure is, now.
FLOSSY
What do you mean?
CHERRELL
You didn't see all those cops out
here earlier?
FLOSSY
No, what happened?
CHERRELL
I don't know but they were chasing
some guy up and down the streets,
all through the allies.
FLOSSY
Must have done something pretty
serious. They weren't shooting were
they?
CHERRELL
No, thank God it ended peacefully.
They threw him in the police car and
drove off.
FLOSSY
I'm Flossy.
CHERRELL
Nice to meet you, I'm Cherrell.
They both shake hands.
FLOSSY
Good looking dog you have there.
CHERRELL
I was about to say the same about
yours.
FLOSSY
What's his name?
CHERRELL
Bernard. How about yours?
FLOSSY
Karl. Finally upgraded from that
loud-mouthed boyfriend I was trying
to raise.
They both burst out LAUGHING.
CHERRELL
Men are highly over-rated, right?
FLOSSY
Listen, you may catch me with
another woman's husband but you'll
never catch me with my own.
Flossy laughs, Cherrell tries to force a one out.
CHERRELL
So how's Karl doing today? He
certainly looks healthy.
FLOSSY
He is, soon as I switched his dog
food from Kibble Crunch to Grits,
Gravy and Biscuits, his coat and
teeth have been shining like a star
in the midnight sky.
CHERRELL
That's pretty bright.
FLOSSY
(serious)
So you think I'm exaggerating, a
little over the top?
Cherrell seems a little intimidated.
CHERRELL
No, no he looks good.
FLOSSY
Good or great? Because Karl is show
dog caliber, Westminster. I could
make a million dollars off of him if
I wanted to.
CHERRELL
But you don't want to?
FLOSSY
It's okay to be jealous, but it's
not cute to be hateful.
CHERRELL
Hateful? I'm not tying to be... I
didn't mean to offend you or Karl.
How about we just agree, my dog is
cute and your dog is cute, we both
have cute dogs, okay?
FLOSSY
Okay.
(beat)
But you think your dog is cuter than
mine don't you?
CHERRELL
I didn't say that.
FLOSSY
Yeah but you said your dog was cute
first.
CHERRELL
I didn't mean anything by it, I'm
sorry, okay.
Flossy takes a deep breath to calm down.
FLOSSY
Yeah I'm sorry too. I'm making way
too much out of this. I'm not making
excuses but it is that time of the
month for me.
CHERRELL
Well that explains a lot.
FLOSSY
What do you mean by that?
CHERRELL
You know how we can get when we're
on our period.
FLOSSY
Your fat dog is on his period.
CHERRELL
What's wrong with you? He's a boy.
Flossy takes a deep breath to calm down.
FLOSSY
I don't know I don't know what's
wrong with me lately, must be those
new experimental supplements I've
been taking.
CHERRELL
Experimental?
FLOSSY
Yeah, it's supposed to get rid of
your excessive gas problems in the
day and help you loose weight at
night.
CHERRELL
Yeah, you have to be careful about
anything new and experimental.
FLOSSY
So you think I'm stupid for trying
something new, and experimental?
Flossy FARTS. Cherrell is both embarrassed and amused.
CHERRELL
No, not at all, I was just--
FLOSSY
So you think I look like some big
fat circus lady don't you?
CHERRELL
No. Of course not. I was just
saying--
FLOSSY
Why can't you be the friend I
thought you were--
CHERRELL
We just met.
Flossy goes on as if she didn't hear her.
FLOSSY
When I said the supplement was
supposed to help me loose weight,
your line should have been something
like, "No Flossy, you don't need any
kind of weight loss supplement. You
look like absolutely gorgeous."
CHERRELL
Okay, I'm trying to be your friend
but it's exhausting. Everything I
say seems to be taken as an insult
or a threat. I just met you so why
would I want to do any of those
things Flossy?
Flossy is finally at a loss for words.
CHERRELL
I think me and Bernard better go.
Cherrell stands up.
FLOSSY
Wow. So you think you and your mangy
dog are too good for us. Really?!
Well let me tell you something lady,
it'll take three cross-eyed bad
breath Bernards to even come close
to one Karl. One!
CHERRELL
Bye Flossy.
FLOSSY
Where 'you going?
Cherrell and Bernard walk away.
FLOSSY
I'm sorry! Look, you'd be like this
too if you had dual STD's and a
stubborn bowel movement.
Cherrell doesn't look back.
FLOSSY
Go on, leave my hefty friend! And
take your bow legged dog with you!
(to her dog Karl)
Me and you will be just fine without
them won't we Karl?
Karl just looks away.
FLOSSY
(to Karl)
You're my dog and you can't even
look at me when I'm talking to you?
(listens)
What do you mean my breath stinks?!
Why you ungrateful good for nothing
hound, I aughtta...!
Flossy takes a deep breath to calm down.
FLOSSY
(to Karl)
Yeah maybe you're right, I probably
shouldn't be taking those
supplements and crack together, but
it's not easy being a homophobic
hermaphrodite.
(listens)
What's that?
(listens)
Good idea, let's go before another
nut comes over here bothering us.
Flossy and Karl walk away.
FADE OUT.
