Boy likes nothing  – coffee break play by Lita Doolan as a girl tries to leave hint about her Valentines day present

Girl – I don’t know why I come here.  It’s horrible and it smells again

Boy – It’s your make up

Girl – No It’s the cake

Boy – It’s all over your face

Girl – So is the dessert.  Is that why you’re not having any?

Boy – I work here.  They don’t pay us to eat

Girl – I’m taking dessert away.  Like a present.  Could you wrap it please?

Boy – Just trying to push your luck again?  You’re out of here

Girl – But you owe me a present.  It’s what I came for. At least give that to me

Boy – Doing what you want you always do. That’s your present.  Now leave me alone.

Girl – You can leave my present behind the desk for me

Boy – No.  There it is.  There.  Eat it then beat it.

Girl – At least I tried.  Diamonds are forever but cake tastes better. I guess I should be pleased you’ve put it on a plate.

Boy – You got yours and you like it so now I will have a Bugatti

Girl – A model one?

Boy – As long as it is made of gold

Girl – Or painted gold?

Boy – Solid gold

Girl – Solid gold plated?

Boy – Just solid

Girl – Too heavy for me to carry home after I’ve been to the food bank pantry and I’m feeling weak today.  Hey aren’t you the first aider around here?

Boy – Yes. I do it for extra money.

Girl – Then go and get me more cake before I pass out.

Boy – You’re making a fuss and turning customers away. Do you ever do subtle?

Girl – No. Get me one of those chandeliers hanging from the ceiling in a bag to go

Boy – Don’t you think they would miss it?

Girl – They are sparkling.  They are perfect for my needs.  They are shiny.

Boy – They look like your make up today – you look like a cannon ball

Girl – Then fire me bullet boy.

Boy – I hate this job.  I never did like this job.  I’m firing myself any way
