(Brandon and Girl are mid-laugh)
BRANDON: I didn’t even-
Girl: -I know-
BRANDON: – I mean seriously??
Girl: –I know!
BRANDON: Hey so– all joking aside…this is fun! I’m having a good time.
Girl: Yeah, it’s been great!
BRANDON: hasn’t it? wow
Girl: Aw – there’s a fly in my water
BRANDON: Gross! Take mine. (looking off) Excuse me, another water?
Girl: You are so sweet.
BRANDON: Ah c’mon
Girl: No really!
BRANDON: Anyone would do that.
Girl: You’d be surprised. With my dating luck…
BRANDON: Really? but you’re so fun. And gorgeous
Girl: Oh please.
BRANDON: YOU are Jamie.
Girl: What?
BRANDON: What?
Girl: Who?
BRANDON: What?
Girl: Who’s Jamie?
BRANDON: What do you mean??
Girl: You just called me Jamie. Who’s Jamie? (Brandon fidgets)
Girl: Is it your girlfriend?
BRANDON: No.
Girl: Who is she?
BRANDON: Oh no: he.
Girl: he?
BRANDON: He.
Girl: You’re gay?
BRANDON: No! Well, yes. But Jamie’s my agent. I’m an actor.
Girl: You’re gay.
BRANDON: Yeah.
Girl: And why am I on a date with you?
BRANDON: Okay, here’s the deal: I got cast as Stanley in a local production of Streetcar, and since I’m a method-actor, I can’t understand the part until I method-act straight.
Girl: method-act.
BRANDON: Yeah. I can’t be Stanley Kowalski until I experience firsthand what it feels like to court a lady.
Girl: So let me walk through this:
BRANDON: Sure!
Girl: I got myself ready for this date –
BRANDON: Yup!
Girl: Drove all the way downtown –
BRANDON: Uh huh!
Girl: – and then felt optimistic that I’d finally met a good guy –
BRANDON: Oh thanks!
Girl: – and all of this just so you could get a better feel for being straight
BRANDON: You don’t MIND, right?
