Cute Stuff

Setting: Mid Morning walk. L.A.

Characters: 
Kim: The Girl.
Carrie Bradshaw: Bichon poodle mix. 5 years old.
Nina:  16 year old jack russell.


Resuming walk after a brief break...


Carrie Bradshaw: That lady we were just talking to was nice. She called me cute!

Nina: (trotting behind Carrie) Um, I believe she called US cute! (panting a bit from walking)

Carrie Bradshaw: (to Kim) Did you tell her about our blog?

Kim: Yes, yes. I mentioned it. Didn't you hear me? You were standing right there the whole time.

Nina: (still slowly but steadily trotting, panting a bit) Did you tell her about our blog?

   Kim and Carrie Bradshaw stop. Nina stops.

Nina: (ears perked) Why aren't we moving?

Carrie Bradshaw: (exasperated) We just covered this!

Kim: I mentioned your blog. Yes. Didn't you hear me? Then I mentioned it again just now to Carrie! You were both right there.

Nina: (looks around)  Marco...

Carrie Bradshaw: (happy) Polo!


Nina: (looks around)  Marco...

Carrie Bradshaw: Polo!

Kim: (shakes her head; laughs) Sorry Nina. Sometimes I forget you're a little blind and very deaf.

     The three start to walk again in silence for a moment...Nina still slightly behind Carrie so as to find her way...

Carrie Bradshaw: (a little swagger now added) But the point is, the nice lady we met on our walk called us cute!

Nina: (adds her own swagger) I heard that!

    Fade as the three round the corner and head home...
