Setting: The Cottage
(Somebody constantly knocking on the door. Vicky comes down the stairs in her bathrobe)
Vicky: (angrily) Hold on a second.
(Opens the door and finds it's Paulina)
Paulina: Are you always so cheerful in the morning?
Vicky: Sorry, it’s just that I was in the shower, and all I heard
was someone banging on the door. What are you doing here anyway? You weren’t supposed
to be here for a couple of hours.
Paulina: I had to come deliver it early, because Remy is out with her
injury and we’re expecting a big crowd later. With Joe at the station, I gotta be
there to help out. (walking into kitchen) I also wanted to find out how everything went at
the doctor’s yesterday.
Vicky: Oh, everything went fine at the doctor’s yesterday.
Paulina: Well I spoke to Nick yesterday, and he thinks something is up
with you.
Vicky: Nothing is up. My little brother just has an overactive
imagination. I’m fine.
Paulina: You sure? Vicky, you know you could tell me anything, good or
bad.
Vicky: (hugging Paulina) I know that and I love you for saying it, and I
would tell you, but there’s nothing wrong.
Paulina: Well I just wanted you to know that. Now about the food. All you
have to do is heat it in oven for 10 minutes.. OK?
Vicky: what do I look like an idiot?.. I can do that.... I think?
Paulina: Okay, just don’t blow up your kitchen. I gotta go let me
know how everything turns out.
Vicky: (hugging Paulina) Thanks for everything I owe you
(Paulina leaves)
