Situation 1:
Waking Up Late
(Charles and Mike are roommates in a college dormitory.)
Mike,don't you have a class at noon?
Huh?I said it's eleven forty - two and
you have a history class at twelve.
What? Eleven forty - two? Why didn't you wake me up earlier?
Because I'm not your mother.And because,if you must
know,I had an English literature class until eleven.
(Crawling out of bed.) Yeah,whatever.
It's my fault anyway;I shouldn't be out
drinking till three a.m. when I have class
the next morning.
Oh,you finally figured that out,huh?
By the way,that's exactly what you said last Thursday
morning when you got up late.You're hopeless.
I thought we decided that you
weren't my mother.Are you finished with
your lecture?
Yes,and you are going to be late
for yours if you're not careful.
It's already eleven fifty-three.
Eleven fifty-three!? Quit talking to me or I'll never
get ready.Have you seen my American history textbook?
I asked you a question!I thought you told me to quit
talking to you,something about making You late.
Okay,okay,I'm sorry.Where's the book?
It's right over there on your desk.
(Grabbing the book and running for the door.)
You bastard.
You're welcome.
