The Players:
Tracy: She’s college aged and gives off an air of ditzy, but it’s obvious she knows she is the star attraction for this group.
Colt: Tracy’s newest boyfriend. They met at Firefly. He delivers goods to a nearby military base.
Max: Tracy’s last boyfriend. They split up on the way to Firefly.
Jim: A barista and friend to Tracy and Max.
The Conversation:
Tracy: Hey you guys, this is so cool. We’re altogether, here at Starbucks. Who would have thought?
Max: Who would have thought…
Jim: I’m just on break, but its great to be hear. Hey, I’m Jim.
Colt: Nice to meet you, I’m Colt.
Jim: Oh, your Tracy’s new boyfriend.
Max: Her soldier standing at attention.
Colt: Yes, I”m Tracy’s boyfriend. No, I’m not in the military.
Tracy: He makes deliveries to the military bases. He’s a driver, he, he, he…
Jim: Where did you guys meet?
Tracy: At Firefly, we saw each other and started talking and it’s been nearly forty-eight hours together now.
Max: Records broken, congrats.
Jim: Congratulations on your longevity.
Colt: Thanks.
Jim: Besides drive, what do you do, Colt.
Colt: I ski.
Jim: Really? Me too. Where do you go?
Colt: Breckenridge. I’m from out there, so I hit all the slopes there, Vail, Winter Park, but I like Breckenridge the best. How about you?
Jim: Blue Mountain.
Colt: I’ve never heard of that.
Jim: Of course you haven’t, it’s in Pennsylvania.
Max: Dude, you suck, Pennsylvania is no Colorado.
Jim: What’s wrong with you today.
Max: I used to be the driver…
Tracy: Max, really? Don’t make me go into this again.
Max: Well we go to a concert and you dump me for this guy. What do you expect?
Tracy: It was over before we left. At least we gave you a ride home.
Max: But we had to stop for coffee on the way.
Colt: Relax, bro. You’ll get there.
Max: I’ve already been there. Now you’re backing into my old parking space.
Jim: Alrighty, I think my break is about over. Somebody could probably use help making a latte.
Max: Sorry for the scene, man. I’m bitter.
Jim: Don’t get shot. Gotta go. Nice meeting you, Colt. Tracy, hot as ever. Later.
Tracy, Colt, Jim: Later.
(I’m glad I’m old and married…)
