Excerpts from Kate! the musical
Some real-life moments I'll use in a play or allegory or something someday.
Scene:
A boy and girl, mid-20s, sit at a bar on a first date.
Boy: My friend was in that NBC page program, like on 30 Rock.
Girl: Oh yeah? I knew a girl doing that, like a year ago.
Boy: What does she do for NBC now?
Girl: I dunno. Last time I saw her she was getting her hair cut on the Today Show.
Scene:
New mom talks to her babysitter before leaving for work.
Mom: Our doorman asked me yesterday if you were Russian.
Girl: Uhhh…I like vodka, but nope.
Mom: I didn’t think so. I mean your last name and everything. And you don’t look Russian.
Girl: Yeah, that’s odd.
Mom: I thought so too, but he’s Russian and I realized he can’t think of a better compliment.

Mom probably saved you from his fumbling attempt to ask you on a date.
Russians are funny.
Heh, yep, Mickey, I'm pretty sure the Soviets are known for their humor.
Red - He did actually run up to me yesterday afternoon and said "You girl. Where you parents come from?"
You mentioned the Bronx, right?
Cool. He's putting the moves on. Gotta give a guy credit for putting it out there like that. He sounds a little xenophobic, though. What's wrong with a nice American girl, after all?
