Molly: I'll get you my pretty, and your little dog too!

Allison: You stay back you evil witch, or I shall cast a spell on you, and turn you blue!

Molly: Blue?

Allison: Ba-lue!

Molly: You wouldn't dare.

Allison: Don't try me.

Molly: You better watch out Glindy, or-

Allison: What? You'll drop a house on me?

Molly: You....(chases Allison offstage poking her with her broom)

(Tootie is sitting at Jiles desk typing)

Jiles: What are you doing?

Tootie: Well, today is my sixth month anniversery with Tonio, and I found this cute little website where you can customize cards and then just print them off. It is far cheaper than buying one, which is good after I spent so much money on his gift. Plus, it's personalized so it's kinda special.

Jiles: Where did you get the money?

Tootie: Well, I kinda have been preforming at 'The Ritz' downtown.

Jiles: In drag?

Tootie: You know I don't do that anymore. I mean, sure I'd make more money that way, but no. I need to man up.

Jiles: So how many nights did you preform?

Tootie: Five.

Jiles: So you used 5 nights worth of money for the gift?

Tootie: Well ya. I mean it ain't much, but I don't know. I wanted it to be nice. After all it's six-months, I can't even REMEMBER my last relationship that lasted that long. I really like this one.

Jiles: I know ya do. You seem a lot happier now that you're with him.

Tootie: Well you know you could be just as happy if you would just tell that girl-

Jiles: You know it's not that easy.

Tootie: I know, it's all quite phsycological. I understand.

Jiles: So what exactly did you get him?

Tootie: It's a pocket watch.

Jiles: That's perfect.

Tootie: I know, I mean I that old rusted one can't possibly last much longer at this point.

Jiles: Ya, I guess.

Tootie: And look, it's 30 carats, and silver! It'll go so much better with his outfits. Plus, he's not old enough for gold. And look, I even had it engraved. I know it's cheesy, but....

Jiles: Time after time, I still find myself thinking of you. Wow, a Cindy Lauper and Katy Perry referance in one foul swoop. Impressive.

Tootie: I try. (a noise of Tonio coming) He's coming, skidaddle! (Tonio enters) Hey, Honey.

Tonio: Hi.

Tootie: How was your day?

Tonio: Crappy.

Tootie: I'm sorry. (Tonio puts the gift on the table) Oooh what's this?

Tonio: Six months right?

Tootie: Um yeah. Oh, Abercrombie.

Tonio: Yeah you like that don't you?

Tootie: Sure, I guess.

Tonio: You guess?

Tootie: I don't know, I just well...nevermind. Here. (hands him the gift)

Tonio: A pocket watch? But Hon, I already have a pocket watch.

Tootie: Not a gold one.

Tonio: But the one I have is my granddad's.

Tootie: I know, and it's old. Plus, this one's silver. And look-

Tonio: Time after time I still find myself thinking of you?

Tootie: Cute right? Cyndi Lauper AND Katy Perry.

Tonio: I think I would have prefered it if it were your words, not some girl gay icons.

Tootie: Ya, but you love them both! And everytime I hear them sing, I think of you.

Tonio: Thanks. (puts it back in the bag)

Tootie: Why don't you put it in your pocket? I'll put your old one in the make-up room.

Tonio: Well I wasn't going to put it in my pocket right now.

Tootie: Why not?

Tonio: You know I keep it in memory of my grandad.

Tootie: Well ya, but I just thought you'd like a new one since you use it so much.

Tonio: I only use it because of the sentimental value.

Tootie: Oh. So you're not going to wear it?

Tonio: Well, it's pretty silly to have two pocket watches.

Tootie: Well sure little orphan Annie, but why not use mine sometimes?

Tonio: Maybe I will, it's just kinda silly. It's like buying an oven when you already have one.

Tootie: But it's a different color at least, and it can have some different kind of sentimental value.

Tonio: Of course. Here, why don't you open your gift.

Tootie: Abercrombie and Fitch cologne?

Tonio: Yeah, you said you liked the smell of it the last time we went there.

Tootie: I guess, I just feel like I put a little more thought into my gift.

Tonio: Well you said you liked it, I was listening.

Tootie: And do you have any idea how much that watch cost? And for you not to even want to use it?

Tonio: I'm sorry, you're right you put thought into it, it's just not something I need right now.

Tootie: Well what I need right now is to know that my boyfriend has some clue of who I am as a person, not just what I mention I kind of like.

Tonio: Well I don't need an un-grateful boyfriend!

Tootie: Fine! (walks off and goes out the door)

Tonio: Fine! (looks up to Jiles who's in the light booth) What?

Jiles: Just, come up here.

Tonio: God, can you believe him? I mean honestly, he's ridiculous!

Jiles: Well sorry man, but the gift was pretty lame.

Tonio: I know.

Jiles: You know? Then why did you get it?

Tonio: Because I spent all my money on something else.

Jiles: What could you have possibly spent so much money on? (Tonio pulls out a velvet box, and reveives an engagment band) Oh.

Tonio: Yeah.

Jiles: He doesn't know, you realize that right?

Tonio: Well obviously, if he knew I certainly hope he wouldn't have reacted that way.

Jiles: Well when are you gonna do it?

Tonio: Well I was thinking maybe tomorrow, I have a dinner-thing sort of planned.

Jiles: Well I think the sooner the better, because he's kind of suspicious.

Tonio: I know, but I want it to be a surprise.

Jiles: Well right now, the only surprise Tootie seems to be feeling is that of imense dissapointment.
