CLAIRE<br />
One of the kids called me a<br />
‘Toonie.’ <strong>The</strong>y started laughing<br />
and I was too embarrassed to admit<br />
to a bunch of eleven-year-olds<br />
that I didn’t know what it meant.<br />
Doug suppresses a small laugh.<br />
DOUG<br />
It’s nothing -- someone who moved<br />
to Charlestown, a yuppie.<br />
CLAIRE<br />
Where does it come from?<br />
DOUG<br />
It’s... derogatory.<br />
CLAIRE<br />
I gathered that. I mean the<br />
etymology.<br />
DOUG<br />
<strong>The</strong> Toonies supplied all the<br />
‘tunes’ in Charlestown because the<br />
<strong>Town</strong>ies stole all their car<br />
stereos. So the <strong>Town</strong>ies moved in<br />
and all of a sudden everyone in<br />
Charlestown had a Blaupunkt. BMW<br />
stands for ‘break my window’ here.<br />
(beat)<br />
Date’s not going well for me so<br />
far, is it?<br />
CLAIRE<br />
No, I like it. A townie and a<br />
toonie.<br />
(beat)<br />
What kind of work you do?<br />
Somebody asked me and I couldn’t<br />
remember.<br />
DOUG<br />
(not good)<br />
Someone asked you?<br />
CLAIRE<br />
Just a friend.<br />
DOUG<br />
Sand and gravel -- I break rocks,<br />
punch a card at the end of the day<br />
and slide down a brontosaurus like<br />
Barney Rubble.<br />
