That’s Enough, Darling

Doriane Bernard, Mathilde Chambost

 A girl is sitting on a café terrace eating an ice-cream and doing a Sudoku. Another girl arrives, looks at the girl eating the ice-cream, makes a grimace, and sits down next to her.

 -Hello!

 -Hi…

-What are you doing?

-Hum… A Sudoku.

-That’s interesting! What’s your level?

-I’m an expert.

-Wow!! Can I see?

-If you want to…

-Hmm… No, that’s wrong. Look, this is a 6, and not a 2.

 (Firmly) -Thank you, but can I do it by myself.

-Ok! I was only trying to help!

(10 seconds later…)

-What’s your name??

-Rosette.

(Looking bored)-That’s em … original!

 (Looking even more annoyed)- Thanks.

(10 seconds later…)

-How old are you Rosette?

-Hum… That’s question is a little bit… indiscreet.

-Tell me please!!

-Ok! I’m 30

-Really! (Looking shocked) Oh come on! Tell me the truth, darling.

-Really! (Looking more annoyed)                                                          

-God, I thought you were 45. Those wrinkles. Your hair. By the way (looking at her belly) you really shouldn’t be eating that, darling!

-HOW DARE YOU!!!

(Changed subject)- Do you know Mrs. Wrinter, darling?

-No, I don’t.          

-She is my beautician darling. She’s a genius!

-(Now looking extremely angry) Yeah! So what?

-You simply have to go and see her darling! You could really do with some professional help.

-Arghhhh! Can you stop criticizing me, please?!?!

-Oh, calm down. It’s for your own good. I’m only thinking of you darling!

- THAT’S IT. I’VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOU. I’M PERFECTLY HAPPY THE WAY I AM, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

 The girl gets up, sticks the ice-cream cone on her head.

 - Why don’t YOU go and see Mrs Wrinter. Maybe she can do something about your hair. (Imitating the other girl’s voice) It’s a mess darling.

 The girl walks away, leaving the other girl looking shocked

-I was only trying to help!                                                                         THE END
