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 staying with a guy I knew (Doug), so I gave him a call. He answered, and then handed the phone to the Kurt. We agreed to meet at the Ameristar champagne brunch at 10:30.

We’re done here, right?

Not even close.

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

                         GIRLFRIEND
When did you talk with them?

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

                         GIRLFRIEND
How did Doug hand the phone to Kurt.

                         BENNY
They’re staying with Doug. Remember?

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

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

                          GIRLFRIEND
But how did Doug let you talk with Kurt?

                          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?

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

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