Heart Of Gold

Lunch

Here is one more example of why I’m still single.

My girlfriend had friends in town this weekend – Kurt and Pam.

We had made tentative plans to meet them for breakfast this morning. She called them a couple of times but they didn’t answer.

They were stayingÂ withÂ a guy IÂ knew (Doug), so I gave him a call. He answered, and then handed theÂ phone to theÂ Kurt. We agreed to meet atÂ the Ameristar champagne brunchÂ at 10:30.

We’re done here, right?

Not even close.

We’re meeting Kurt and Pam at Ameristar at 10:30.

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â GIRLFRIEND
When did you talk with them?

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â BENNY
Just now. I called Doug, and he handed the phone to Kurt.

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â GIRLFRIEND
How didÂ Doug hand the phone to Kurt.

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â BENNY
They’re staying with Doug. Remember?

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â GIRLFRIEND
Yeah, but I don’t get how you talked with Kurt.

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â BENNY
Why does it even matter?Â We’re meeting them at 10:30.

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â GIRLFRIEND
But howÂ didÂ Doug let you talk with Kurt?

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â BENNY
(Agitated) Look…your friends are staying with Doug. You were unable to reach them. I called Doug. Doug said Kurt was standing next to him. Doug handed the phone to Kurt. And we agreed to meet at Ameristar at 10:30. What is wrong with you?

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â GIRLFRIEND
Oh, now I get it. What time are we meeting them?

I’ve been in my mind. It’s such a fine line
