A chat over a latte

2.30PM INT. CAFE/COFFEE SHOP

BEST FRIENDS IN THEIR EARLY THIRTIES STEPHANIE AND SUZI ARE SAT IN A COFFEE SHOP CHATTING OVER A LATTE AND A CAKE

SUZI
You do seem a little quiet Steph

STEPH
Me? Really?

SUZI
Yeah, who else is sat at the table called Steph?

STEPH
No I’m fine, really

SUZI
That’s your fourth latte in an hour.
How many years have I known you now?

STEPH
Gawd, am I that easy to read?

SUZI
From where I’m sitting, I’d say yes

STEPH
OK, well this goes no further, right, not a word

SUZI
My lips are sealed

STEPH
It’s Jason

SUZI
Your Jason?

STEPH
My Jason.
Yes, for how much longer (PAUSE) I don’t know

SUZI
Oh my god, he’s not having another affair is he? He’s not found another woman?

STEPH
No, no, no, not after last time, he learnt his lesson

SUZI
(HESISTANT)
A man?

STEPH
Suzi!
It’s serious

SUZI
OK, OK , I had to ask, it does happen. Go on

STEPH
I found a big lump on one of his testicles

SUZI
Shit, you think it’s cancer?

STEPH
I don’t know

STEPH REACHES DOWN INTO HER CAVERNOUS BAG THAT WOMEN SEEM TO REQUIRE AND PULLS OUT A FORMALDEHYDE FILLED JAR WITH A COUPLE OF CURIOUS CONTENTS

SUZI
Ewww!

STEPH
Here, you have a feel

THE END

Haha! Yes, the best punishment for any cheating man!

Thank you Ellie.

I just realised I seem to be having a bit of a thing with 'jars' at the minute though!

Yes - good one!
