Love, Mona. #2

I'm Sorry

Shawn:  Did you just call my daughter Lovey Yummys? Is that a code for something?!

Liam:  No! Of course not!

This is a disaster...

Shawn:  And why did you bring a... a... scratch ticket?! Mona doesn't gamble!

Liam:  I-- 

Shawn:  And Mona is a vegetarian! The last place she'd want to go is to a steakhouse! Do you know anything about her?!

Liam:  Sir, I heard the opposite! I was told she loves meat!

Mona:  But, Liam... you know how much I love animals. I'm sorry, this is my fault... I should have made sure you knew.

Shawn:  I'm not sure I trust you with my daughter...

Twinkle:  Okay, everyone that's enough. You two better get going, the night is young! Have a good time. You both look great, by the way.

Liam:  I'm really sorry. I... took bad advice, I guess.

Mona:  From whom?

Liam:  Christian. He told me you loved to gamble, that you loved meat, and that you liked pet names.

I can't believe Christian lied to him like that!

Mona:  Wow! I'm going to kill him!

Twinkle:  Erm... it's all water under the bridge. No harm done, why don't you two head out? 

Mona:  Yeah... okay.

Liam:  Thank you. I'll have her back by eleven. [Waves to Shawn] Goodbye, sir.

Shawn:  10:59

Liam:  Right. Okay Mona, let's go.

(They walk out.)

Twinkle:  Really? 10:59?

Shawn:  I don't like him.

Twinkle:  You don't even know him! 

Shawn:  He doesn't even know our Mona.

Twinkle:  Well, you heard him... he got bad advice.

Shawn:  Yeah. I find that part really, really interesting too.

Outside...

Liam:  I'm really sorry, Mona. I should have known better than to ask Christian, he and I haven't exactly gotten off on the right foot.

Mona:  It's fine.

Liam:  I should have asked Derek or Cheri... now I feel like an idiot. I made reservations, but... why don't we just scrap the whole dinner thing and do something you'd enjoy instead? Sometimes things turn out better when we're spontaneous.

Mona:  That's true...

And I don't want to give Christian the satisfaction of ruining my first date, maybe I could also prank Christian if this date goes well.

Mona:  No, that's okay. You went though all the trouble planning this night, let's stick to what you had in mind.

Liam:  Okay... I'm sure the steakhouse will have a good salad bar or something.
