Enconters

MARK {slowly} The manager, the other waiters -
LUCY Mark, why are you telling me this now?
[MARK looks down at his shoes, puts his hands in his pockets,
shrugs his shoulders, and mumbles something]
LUCY {Takes a step closer, and lowers her head to listen} What?
MARK I'm sorry-
LUCY Mark, -
MARK No, really, I'm sorry-
LUCY {Decisive, with purpose} Mark. Stop telling me your sorry-
MARK But I am! I-
LUCY Mark. Seriously you need to pull yourself together. {LUCY
points at the audience} Look at them.
[MARK looks up at the audience]
LUCY Mark, this is your audience, they are going to go home tonight
to friends, family, and they will them about how you were a
complete and utter primadonna, their friends and family will then
tell their friends and so on and so forth and before you know it
what happened tonight will have reached every playwright in the
country-
MARK That's a little hyperbolic might I say but what's your point?
LUCY My point is that every minute more you stand on this stage,
you will only hurt your career as an actor -
