Pick Up In Aisle Five
Setting: A popular chain pet store at the grooming station. Carrie Bradshaw checks in for a nail trim.
Groomer: You can go pay at the front. When you come back, she'll be ready.
Carrie Bradshaw: (being handed to Groomer, instantly panics) No no no WAIT!
Kim exits Groomer's station and heads to stand in line at cashier on other side of store. As she waits, it seems to be taking a bit longer than usual. The cashier seems new. He's still with the other Customer in front of Kim. Kim leans against the counter and sighs. Suddenly, over the lous speaker for all to hear-
Store Speaker System: CARRIE BRADSHAW IS READY FOR PICK UP IN GROOMING. CARRIE BRADSHAW IS READY FOR PICK UP IN GROOMING.
The dozen or so Customers in the store, reacting to the announcement- look up, look around, look puzzled... and laugh.
Kim: (stepping out of line muttering) I am mortified...
Customers as Kim scurries by-
Customer 1: (by cat food aisle; to Kim) "Carrie BRADSHAW"?
Customer 8: (by leashes) Awww... you have a dog "Carrie Bradshaw?"
Customer 5: (by hamster wheels) Bwahahahaha!!!
Kim sprints and arrives at the back of the store. There's Carrie Bradshaw sitting on the Groomer's lap. Groomer looks tired after only ten minutes with Carrie. Carrie looks pissed.
Carrie Bradshaw: WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN!
Kim: (mumbles) Sorry- I.. I still have to pay. You have a new Cashier...
Kim returns to register. As they pass other Customers-
Customer 5: (whispers to husband) That must be Carrie Bradshaw...
Kim pays as Carrie tugs on leash...
Kim: That's ok. I don't need a receipt. (starts to leave quickly)
Cashier: Wait! Did you pick up your dog?
Kim and Carrie Bradshaw stop and stare at Cashier.
Carrie Bradshaw: You really ARE NEW! WOOF!
Cashier: Oh. There she is. Have a nice day.
Kim: (as they leave the store) I am mortified.
Carrie Bradshaw: YOU'RE mortified! The loud speaker?! Oooh!
Fade as Kim and Carrie dart for the car... and the adventures continue...
