Stop Kiss - Scene Nineteen

Hey, how’s it going?

Hi.

Where’s Peter?

He…uh, left. You look beautiful. So do you, George.

He left…New York?

Yeah, he changed his flight. He left a couple hours ago. I told him to tell the driver to take the Van Wyck.

Something happen at work?

No it—I asked him to leave.

Yeah, no, if you’re upset—

No it’s fine, I want to go out. I want to get to know George.

Are you—did something happen—I mean, you dont have to—

He was being so—he was criticizing everything. “Your apartment’s too small. It’s in a bad neighborhood. Your school is dangerous. It’s too far away.” All he could talk about was how dirty and dangerous everything is.

It is.

What? Compared to St. Louis? I don’t want to live there. I’ve started something here and I—that’s what—because it’s…I love… New York!

Are you sure?

Yeah.

OK. They have venison you know.

You mean Bambi?
