Paper Girl 1/5

Cliff: Excuse me, are you busy?

Tina: Yeah, I’m waiting for someone. Why else would I be standing here?

Cliff: Okay, never mind

Tina: Well, what did you want?

Cliff: I was just wondering, if it’s not too much trouble, maybe you could help me carry this stuff to the Art rooms?

Tina: Yeah, sure. Sorry about just now. Rough day.

They start walking

Cliff: That’s cool. We all have ‘em sometimes. So what’s your name?

Tina: Tina

Cliff: And what’re you into, Tina?

Tina: You mean, like, drugs?

Cliff: No, I mean hobbies. Though I guess drugs would be a hobby.

Tina: I like films

Cliff: Oh yeah? Seen any good ones lately?

Tina: There’s one came out last week, about these guys who get stuck in a lift together. It’s pretty funny.

Cliff: I’ll have to look out for that

Tina: I mean, I know it sounds dumb, but it’s the way it plays out. Even though they spend all this time in the lift, it doesn’t get boring cos of all the crazy stuff that happens.

They arrive at the Art rooms

Cliff: Thanks. I hope I haven’t made you late for your friend.

Tina: What friend?

Cliff: The friend you were waiting for? Outside the changing room?

Tina: Oh yeah...I’ve got lots of friends. I mean, not too many. Not like I’m disloyal or something. Just a normal number.

Cliff: Good to know

Tina: Anyway, yeah, I’d better get back to this one
