Sabrina : Linus.
Linus : Hello, Sabrina. I have a message from David. He
won't be able to
make it.
He sent me. I'm sorry, you're upset. Of course.
Sabrina : Yes, no, um. I don't know. I'm a little
tired. Why didn't he come?
Linus : He was on his
way, he had a slight accident. He sat on
a champagne flute.
Sabrina : Is he OK?
Linus : He's in the emergency room.
Sabrina : Emergency room!
Linus : It was a sharp flute. Hey, that's a little
joke.
Sabrina : Should I drive over to see him?
Linus : He'll be fine. A
couple of stitches. You can see him
tomorrow.
Sabrina : What's this for?
Linus : Part of the message from David.
Sabrina : They sent you to deal with me, haven't they?
Linus : They?
Sabrina : Like a lawyer in a movie. He goes to the
unsuitable waitress, or showgirl, or chauffeur's
daughter, and says the family is prepared to offer you a
hundred thousand dollars to
stay away from
their son. "No", she says, "a hundred and fifty
thousand." "No."
Linus : Two hundred thousand?
Sabrina : No.
Linus : A million? No self-respecting lawyer would
offer less.
Sabrina : No self-respecting waitress would take it.
Linus : Good girl.
Sabrina : I've loved him all my life.
Linus : Have you?
Sabrina : I thought I was over it.
Linus : Surprise, surprise.
Sabrina : You don't object?
Linus : Object? To you? Look at you. It's as though a lovely breeze has
swept through this whole house.
Sabrina : Even though the breeze comes from the
general direction of the garage?
Linus : It's the 90s Sabrina.
Sabrina : So they say. They played that the night
before I left for Paris.
Linus : They often do play that.
Sabrina : Yeah, he was dancing. Right here, with
someone.
Linus : Yeah, he often does do that. And tonight he
wanted it to be you. It's all in the family.
Sabrina : I never thought of you as a dancer.
Linus : Crazy about it. Call me BoJangles at the
office.
Sabrina : In all those years I never saw you do this -
meet a girl here with champagne.
Linus : Never did it before.
Sabrina : You never had to before.
Linus : Is it impossible to believe that I want to
dance with the prettiest girl at the party?
Sabrina : Thank you. Yes, it is impossible to believe.
Linus : Then you don't know me. Oh, I almost forgot
the rest of the message from David.
Sabrina : Oh!
Linus : Thanks, I needed that.
Sabrina : What am I doing? I should never...
Linus : No, no, no, I apologize.
Sabrina : You have my handprint on your face.
Linus : Maybe it's better if you pick up your messages
in person.
You'll see David tomorrow. Goodnight. |
