SINGLE SCENE
The BOY, Mabel Macheri
the curtain, and Mabelle Macheri, sit facing the audience, on both sides of a round table coffee. The boy standing between them, a notebook and pen in hand, ready to take control.
The Boy. - Hello Ladies, what can I serve you?
Mabel, smiling at the boy . - An iced tea, please. (She turns to her friend) And you Macheri?
machers. - I do not know, Mabelle. I hesitate ...
The Boy. - Between what and what? I can maybe help you ?
machers. - Between a strong coffee and hot chocolate.
The Boy. - Stimulant or comforting. It depends on your mood, eventually. How do you feel, there, now?
machers. - One Sunday morning in the sun? Let's say it makes me lazy.
Mabelle, Hilarious - You're also in this state during the working week and winter Macheri!
(Macheri shot Mabelle gaze and gives him a gna-gna-gna silent)
The Boy. - Gentle soft and sweet, chocolate seems ideal ... (He makes a slight nod to Macheri) Especially for a girl to eat.
Macheri, turning to laugh Boy - So goes for chocolate!
(The Boy out on the garden side)
Mabel, with a hiss admiring - Macheri Well, he hath dredged or I dreaming? (Pause.) Note, he's cute. And it is neat and elegant, which does no harm!
machers. - You know, Mabel, the black trousers and white shirt is the uniform of a server. It has nothing to do with elegance.
Mabelle, falsely offended - Go ahead, take me for a bottle! No, I did not speak of his costume but his feet! When he comes back, you see he has the good taste to wear shoes with laces and any horrible tasseled loafers like his colleague. The icing on the cake, they are polished and well maintained.
(The Boy back in the garden, carrying a tray with drinks)
The Boy depositing the contents of his tray on the table - And here's the tea for the pretty blonde, chocolate brown and lovely for the little note for those of you interested.
(The Boy fate courtyard)
machers. - Okay, I admit they are impeccable shoes. But do you really think this is significant? The character of a person is reflected in his pomp, in your opinion?
Mabelle. - Not always, but it may provide clues. No kidding, you go out with a guy who wears sandals with white socks, you?
Macheri, looking up to heaven - Immediately, the final scenario! I do not know a woman who respects herself, who would dare go out in public with such a killing love! And I can not even believe that only one man on earth is not aware. No kidding, the sandal / sock white, is an urban legend! That does not exist in real life!
Mabelle. - Still, you will not say more than shoes do not matter now. (She takes a sip of his tea cup and rests) You want me to say? Love is like a pair of shoes!
machers. - I'm not sure I follow you ...
Mabelle. - I mean that you pass a shop window and you flash on a beautiful pair of shoes super trend. Here, moment of madness, you buy them! Except that after a while, they'll slaughter the feet! At first you say that you're gonna make wearing them or you'll get used to, but shit. Ultimately, you're in ruins tape!
machers. - You mean my ex there? A true anatomic bomb and in bed, one foot in hell. The problem was that it was the only place where we were compatible. Short! I was madly, but also a passionate relationship, it's super painful in the long run ... I am lost for a while. And then I broke down and I left.
Mabelle. - You've made the right decision! Frankly, I can not understand girls who keep heels who abuse them.
machers. - They may not have other options, you know? Some love them so much that they are ready for anything bear to worse, end up in hospital with gangrene. I'm sure there are plenty who do not even dare call "SOS tootsies in distress" because they are too ashamed, or they are afraid that people say they have earned it.
Mabelle. - I grant you. Now that you say, I confess that I do not know how I would react in their place. Especially if I did not have the material means to change shoes.
machers. - That said, my ex does not bully me, either. I have just suffered large bulbs. And my parents taught me to never let me walk on. All the girls are not my luck ...
Mabelle. - It is true that in some families, girls do not have time to shop and are forced to wear shoes that others have chosen for them.
machers. - Yes! Traditions can be costly, even today.
Mabelle. - It very well imagine! No, Miss, a young girl as he is not wearing boots! But Dad, I aimeuuuuh ... I said no, you wear those shoes that best fit your requirement. You will make envious and I know the store owner is a friend.
Macheri, a little shocked - You're a cynical!
Mabelle, shrug - I'm realistic. Look! Even when you manage to find shoes that suit you, bystanders watching you wrong if they do not match the color of your suit or if the style is too different for their liking. Not easy to resist social pressure! Even the Republic's position on the issue: girls must wear shoes for girls and boys, boy's shoes. Otherwise, ban to go into a town hall!
(Young women sigh and drink consumption, looking thoughtfully at the viewers)
machers. - You think the shoes that we fall in love past the window, we inevitably screw up your feet?
Mabelle. - There are lucky. Cinderella looks! Not only did she find something to suit him, but most is the brand!
machers. - Finally, Perrault was careful to say how their relationship evolves. Cinderella marries, finds good matches its Frangines and the story ends there. There is not even the famous "They lived happily and had many children." If it is, Cinderella turns into fashion victim who crack on a new pair of shoes at the first opportunity. It's true after all! It's nice top brand footwear trend, but it soon goes out of style next season!
Mabelle. - In the story, in my opinion, this is the kind shoes very classy and timeless.
Macheri, theater - Cinderella So eventually abandoned, deprived of her children and died of an overdose in an ambulance.
Mabelle, surprise - And I'm that cynical ...
Macheri, serious again - Okay, I exaggerate. But I assure you, so many girls around me think they have found their slipper and get divorced after a few years. So it's been seriously thinking about eternal love and holy matrimony ... Moreover, there is great love in your theory?
Mabelle. - Of course! You get into the store without particular desire, just to watch. You go around the store and at a time, you spot a small pair of ballerinas did not have you typed in the eye the first time and, when examined closely, are not bad at all. You try them and then you feel like you there in slippers. More you wear, the more you love and you keep them all the time.
machers. - It's that simple?
Mabelle . - Certainly not! You see, the problem with fairy tales is that Once the Princess is married, the story ends. The author never tells how she kept her pain to the pair of pumps. Inevitably, it is less glamorous and it does not dream girls explain to them that they must maintain, polish and protect his ballerinas. Then the little princesses, they think that once the ballerina's feet, you've won!
machers. - But if they use their brains to think two seconds, they should imagine that if they do not pay attention, their shoes will rust out in no time.
Mabelle. - Ca, they are thinking when they are sunk. So, too late! There is also the Princesses who let themselves go, grow legs and can not return to their ballerinas. And I'm not talking about the ones who are bitten by a nasty jealous that the seconds hand on phantasy ...
Macheri, sigh - Finally, it is the job of Eternal Love. And there's no guarantee.
Mabelle. - There are no free lunches, Macheri! Of course, over time can wear shoes, even if the Princess with a brain has well-maintained. It will perhaps have to go see a specialist for the soles. But ultimately, it will keep them because she could never bring himself to part with it.
machers. - Seen in this light, it makes you want to find this pair of ballerinas. I'll be more careful when I do my shopping now. What comforts me in this story is to think that even if I walk with the slippers of Cinderella, nothing will stop me from watching the windows. After all, I am not obligated to buy. (Pause.) Well, about a showcase, a pair of Louboutin to nine hours.
(The two young women looking courtyard and turning his head slowly side garden, as if they followed a person of the eyes)
Mabelle. - There is no denying some pumps are really creak! And those, I would like to know if they have an owner.
machers. - You do not lose the north, you. (She takes the addition) The rating is for me today.
(Macheri look at the paper. Then she grabs her purse and searched after a short time poses a ticket on the table)
Mabelle. - Thanks machers. And yes, what do you want, I'd rather have a choice. I can not help it, I love shoes and I change them regularly.
Macheri, returning adding - Well, the boy entered his mobile number on the back, if that tempts you.
Mabelle, taking the paper that it tends Macheri - Willingly, troubleshooting for one night. (She puts the paper into a pocket) And who knows, if it turns out that a pair of comfortable ballerinas, I might stop my collection. But honestly, you want me to reveal my ultimate pleasure, when I go home?
(They stand up and take their purse)
Macheri . - I'm dying to know!
Mabelle, with a big smile - Walking barefoot!
(They exit stage right, laughing)
