[each set of quotation marks signifies quotation mark hand gestures]
Julia, wait! I just wanted to hear how your "date" went last night.
Y'know, Allison, you're very clever with those quotation marks, but just for the record, I prefer my conversations straight forward and unencumbered by little rabbit gestures. Do you "get it?"
But I was right wasn't I? Your "boyfriend" didn't lay a hand on you, did he?
Not that it is remotely even any of your business, but just to wipe that smirk off your face, I will tell you. You were not right. He is positively not gay.
How do you know?
I picked up subtle signals while he had his tongue down my throat. Now what do you say to that?
(dumbfounded.....) He must be bi.
Allison, he is NOT!! You were wrong! You're always wrong, and you never want to admit it. He is straight! There is no question about it. He made that fact uncomfortably clear!
"Uncomfortably?" (as Allison makes her quotation mark gestures, Julia grabs her hands... ) Oh, I'm sorry! It's a habit.....it's going to take some getting used to. I'm just so interested in this word "uncomfortably." I mean, it seems there's something you're not admitting, Little Miss Cards-on-the-table.
Oh, alright. I'll give you that. I guess subconsciously I did think Mark was gay and therefore I was safe.
Julia, excuse me for overhearing, but I just want to add my two cents.
Oh please!! I do so want to hear from everyone on this subject! Call your friends!
I was just going to say; you can't force yourself to start dating if it isn't time. I know because there came a day in my life when I wasn't interested in any romantic involvement at all. The whole idea didn't appeal to me, period, and no matter who approached me, I just wasn't interested.
Really, Anthony? When was that?
That was the day I entered prison.
