Duologue
Characters: ANN, DANA
(DANA is sitting in a diner waiting to see her friend ANN. She’s had a haircut and isn’t really sure if she will like it. She is a volcanic personality and her best friend ANN tries to keep her calm and reassured, but isn’t sure about the cut!)
ANN:
Dana, what did you do to your hair?
DANA:
It looks terrible, doesn’t it?
ANN:
It’s short
DANA:
I thought if I cut it it’d make me look more ... you know, more mature. You hate it don’t you?
ANN:
No, it’s just .... I’m not used to it! I mean, since first grade your hair has been to your waist. Now it’s ... it’s short!
DANA:
Oh, I wish I hadn’t cut it
ANN:
It’ll grow back
DANA:
From here to my waist? That will take years! Oh I hate it I just hate it
ANN:
I think it’s cute
DANA:
You’re lying. Please don’t lie to me
ANN:
OK
DANA:
So you hate it don’t you
ANN:
Hate is an awfully strong word, I’d say ... I’d say ...
DANA:
Say it! just say it!
ANN:
It’s different
DANA:
Bad different, or good different?
ANN:
Neither. Just different
Actually, don’t think it makes you look more mature, but, I do think it makes you look more ... more ... what’s the word?
Actually, don’t think it makes you look more mature, but, I do think it makes you look more ... more ... what’s the word?
DANA:
More what? Say it! Just say it!
ANN:
Sophisticated? No, that’s not it. Elegant? No, not that. Glamorous? No. Stylish? No.
DANA:
Then what?
ANN:
Well .. Plain
DANA:
Plain?
ANN:
Well, I’m being honest you want me to be honest, don’t you? Before, you always got lots of attention because your hair was long. I mean, how many people have long hair nowadays? Not too many. And now you just look like everyone else. Plain.
DANA:
I hate it! I just hate it!
ANN:
It’ll grow back.
DANA:
Maybe I should get a wig!
ANN:
Actually, I’m starting to like it more and more. And yes, I do think you look more mature. Who wants to look like a little girl with long hair?
DANA:
You really like it!
ANN:
I’m liking it more and more every minute!
DANA:
Really?
ANN:
Really. Of course! Look how stylish you are now! Wow! you’re radiant!
DANA:
Really?
ANN:
Really!??
DANA:
Oh you hate it don’t you!? I hate it too!! (DANA runs off crying hysterically)
ANN:
(To herself) At least it’ll grow back.
