Debra and Andy in “Debra Makes Something Good”

Debra

Hey, you hungry?

Andy

Yeah, sure, I could always go for something.

Debra

(offering the plate of braciole to Andy) I made some braciole, taste it.

Andy

(trying to get out of it gracefully) Oh, you made...no, no, no, I'm actually--I'm in training, I'm in training for a running thing--

Debra

Come on...

Andy

No, no, really...And I've gone kosher. I'm in a Jewish marathon.

Debra

(insistent) Okay, try it, one bit? Just one bite... That's it, just one... (He does, and can only stare at her in shock.)

Andy

(beat) Run away with me.

Debra

(happy) Really? You like it?

Andy

(he does) Oh, my God, it's fantastic! (He sits down at the table) Mmm, Debra! I don't know what Ray's talking about!

Debra

What do you mean, "talking about?"

Andy

Nothing, he was just trying to be funny at work.

Debra

Funny about what? Was he making fun of my braciole? (Andy suddenly realizes that he may have said too much)

Andy

No, he was not. (gets up quickly and turns to leave, but Debra corners him)

Debra

Wait, Andy, he told me he loved my braciole. What did he say to you about it?

Andy

(trying to change the subject) Did I ever show you how I can wiggle my ears? Look at this-- (He can't really)

Debra

(insistent) Andy, what did he say about the braciole?

Andy

I did not find it funny--

Debra

Andy!

Andy

He said it was Italian for roadkill! Please don't hurt me!
