Lifeguarding, Scene 1

Allow me to introduce you to a humorous dialogue from work. Nothing else happened today...

Scene I
[Scene: SCERA pool, Ocelot pacing the edge, looking intently at the five people populating the water.]

[Enter Mark the Supervisor]

Mark [approaching Ocelot]: I am strongly under the suspicion that the party isn't going to show tonight.

Ocelot [not turning from the water]: Uh-huh.

Mark: I mean, I don't have a deposit, paperwork, why do I feel so tall?

Ocelot [caught off guard]: Uh, 'cause I'm short?

Mark: I'm dwarfing you!

Ocelot: Yup.

Mark [seeming to remember himself]: But not 'cause you're short, or anything... Anyway, close as if there was no party coming, all right?

Ocelot: 'Kay. [Exunt Mark, stage left] I still think it's 'cause I'm short.
[shrugs. Exunt, stage right]

Haha... But you're not that short! A bit, maybe, but not truly short. How tall is Mark?

Um, not that tall, methinks. But then again, I have a warped perception as a semi-short person. He could be comparably tall, but I don't quite notice these things. I dunno, he could block the setting sun for me with his head at...6:45, I think.

Haha, what a creative way to respond!

it's okay. you're taller than me. plus, i don't think that you would make a good tall person. a medium person maybe, but tall person no. just your personality.
