Door to Door

Scene 2: The Date

Coffee shop

*Helen orders a coffee from the barista. Just mime/improv the order.*

Barista: Okay! Now I just need a name for the order.

Helen: Helen... Helen Hywater.

Barista: You've got to be actually kidding, hell and high water?

Helen: Sadly, yes.

Barista: That is sad.

*Pause*

Barista: Welp. I should get this made.

Helen: Yeah... *turns away awkwardly.*

*Helen plays on her Phone, bumps into Brad, drops phone."

Brad: Whoops, heh, we gotta stop bumping into each other like this.

Helen: Heh, yeah I guess we do. *blushes*

Salesman: *wretches* NOPE! WE ARE NOT CONTINUING THIS! No way in Hell I'm gonna let this Wattpad fanfiction of an introduction keep going. I gave you enough background info to glean the narrative of this scene, but we are fast-forwarding through this schlocky garbage.

Brad: So, I'll pick you up tomorrow at 8:00?

Helen: Yeah, I'd like that.

Helen's House

*Helen sits on her couch, watching TV, then, there's a knock at the door. She pauses the TV and answers.*

Helen: Brad? You're here early? *opens door*

Salesman: *doing over-the-top posing* Haha! You thought it was Brad! But it was me Dio!

Helen: Oh. Hi Dio.

Salesman: My name's not... That was a joke.

Helen: Oh. So who are you?

Salesman: I'm the man who can make your dreams come true! I can help you reach your goals! I'm the-

Helen: Yeah no thanks, I'm not interested in any Pyramid Schemes.

*tries to close the door, Salesman blocks said door.*

Salesman: I can assure you ma'am, I'm no Herbalife™  employee. I'm simply here to make your life easier, by offering you items that help you in ways you can't even imagine.

Helen: Dude, that doesn't sound any less shady. You know it, and I know it.

Salesman: Yeah... I probably need to work on that specific selling point.

Helen: Well, at least you've piqued my interest. So, what you got?

Salesman: Well, you just asked for a Chad, am I correct?

Helen: Brad.

Salesman: Does it matter?

Helen: Just finish your point.

Salesman: Okay, it's my assumption that you have a date with this "Biff"

Helen: Brad.

Salesman: Gesundheit

Helen: Anyways, your point?

Salesman: I could give you something... to help you get ready for your date.

Helen: Hmm... *long pause*

Salesman:

Helen:

Salesman:

Helen: No
