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.
