The love that dare not speak it's lame.

A PRETTY YOUNG WOMAN ANSWERS HER DOOR TO SEE A MAN IN A CHEAP SUIT WITH GREASY GREY BLACK HAIR & THICK GLASSES

Elizabeth:
Hello, can I help you?

Wayne:
Oh I see, It's going to be like that is it Elizabeth?

Elizabeth:
Sorry, do I know you? How do you know my name?

Wayne:
Ok Ok.If we must dance we must dance, pretend to waltz all you like my Love but all I can see in your face is ... Tango!.

Elizabeth:
It's this fake tan. But seriously! Who are you? & what are you doing here?

Wayne:
Elizabeth Darling, I know you're worried about having a workplace relationship, and I know you've been hurt before! Like a flower that's had some experience of pain in the past that's similar somehow, but please don't shut me out, not here, not now, and not here.

Elizabeth:
Do you work at Engels Lawson then?

Wayne:
Do I work at Engels Lawson? Don't play games with me. You can't say that the West Bromsgrove conference meant nothing to you.

Elizabeth:
Well it meant a day off work & free buffet and that was about it. It was hardly East Bromsgrove.

Wayne:
You're a good actress I'll give you that. But what If I was to process a sales invoice for you via an e mail attachment.

Elizabeth:
Hold on are you Warren from Accounts & Sales invoicing?

Wayne:
Of course princess, just as you hoped. It is I, Wayne.

Elizabeth:
Wayne! That's it, I knew it began with something.

Wayne:
Wayne from Accounts & Sales Invoicing. The Romeo to your Juliet, The Burton to your Taylor, The Casanova to your lots of women.

Elizabeth:
I'm sorry Warren, but I hardly think a few e mails means there's something between us.

Wayne:
Look I know you're scared, I'm scared too, but don't believe all those stories about Accounts & Sales invoicing. We may seem dangerous to be around but it's just hype.

Elizabeth:
No seriously Wayne, I think you've got the wrong end of the stick. I hardly know you.

Wayne:
If you can look me in the eye as we stand, right here and now and say.

Elizabeth:
I don't love you,

Wayne:
That's the one, if you can stand here now & say those words.

Elizabeth:
I just did, now if you'll excuse me

WAYNE GETS ON HIS KNEES AND SCREAMS ELIIIZAAAABEEETTHH AS SHE SHUTS THE DOOR IN HIS FACE.
INSIDE WE SEE ONE OF ELIZABETHS FRIENDS

Julie:
You handled that pretty well Liz I'm proud of you

Elizabeth:
But I love him.

Julie:
It's Accounts & Sales Invoicing Honey, you had a lucky escape..

Hi Steve,

Honestly I thought where the hell is this going. Then the end was a nice twist, onnly thing is maybe it could be be made a little punchier? For me it sagged in the middle. But might just be me. I liked it though

Enjoyed that from start to finish. Well done, Steve.

Loved the irreverence.
" I knew it began with something"

Tres Amusant, c'est bon!

Muy divertido, muy bueno: English trans. I agree with P Marc, Nogget and Mr Bussell.

Like this. It'd work really well with a couple of good comic actors.

It's good but I think the initial line about tango is a little confusing.

And here and there a little could be trimmed.

But the characters are strong and it's certainly a funny idea.

I like this - think I voted for it at the time in the Skit comp.

I think the tango joke is a bit weak though, it detracts from the balance of him going through the gamut of emotions, and her looking confused, whcih is what sets up the punchline.

Thanks guys
Agree about the Tango
I'm not sure why I kept it in

We can't hear if you fart pn line

Hi Steve,

I liked this.

I thought Waynes first line

"Wayne:
Oh I see, It's going to be like that is it Elizabeth?"

was a bit too defensive too early but that's nitpicking.

I didn't mind the Tango, though I can see that the humour is slightly removed from the rest of the piece.

I agree that two good actors would make this a winner.

Nice.

A very enjoyable read, loved the dialogue. I think ending on 'but I love him' could have worked as an alternative ending, given the build up.

Good point Shandybaby

It would have been nice as the last line.
Cheers again all.
