Brenda comes into Kelly's the day after her first date with Sonny. He's sitting
at a table and is talking to Luke Spencer. He introduces Luke to Brenda and Luke
leaves. Brenda looks uncomfortable.
S: We were just doing a little business. Can
I get you anything? Sit down.
B: Uh, no, I don’t have that much time before my
first class. (Brenda is looking around, avoiding eye contact with Sonny. Ruby comes
over and hands Sonny the check.)
S: (to Ruby) “Um..2 more coffees.” Ruby totally
ignores him.
B: (asks Ruby) Do you know where Jagger is?
Ruby: Yeah, he’s in
the storeroom working. Do you want coffee?”
B: Uh...yes, yeah.” Ruby goes to get
Brenda’s coffee and Brenda clears her throat nervously.
S: You got something against
sitting down? (B sighs and sits down.)
S: I was going to say that I had a really
good time last night. So good in fact, I was going to call you later, see if you
wanted to take a little drive
out to this place I know about. They’ve got a chef
from Tuscany, would you believe? Only this time, we’ll take your car. See if we get
that hot little motor of yours really humming!
B: “Um..I...
(Ruby brings
coffee, but only for Brenda.)
B: Oh, thank you Ruby. (Ruby walks away.)
S:
I guess she forgot my coffee?”
B: Yeah.”
S: What do you say?”
B: I don’t
think so Sonny. I think maybe we better cool it.”
S: Mmm...see, I thought
I was picking up some strange vibes. So, who’s been bad-mouthing me? Our esteemed
police commissioner??”
B: No, listen I make up my own mind about people.”
S:
That’s what I thought.”
B: And I just think you’re too hot for me to handle, okay?
That’s it.”
S: No, I think you can handle me just fine.”
B: Well, too bad we’re
never going to find out.”
S: Is that so? Gee, if you think it’s too bad and I
think it’s too bad, why not forget about all this well-meaning advice you’ve been
getting and check it out? Since when do you run away from a challenge? Are you going
to be satisfied with just a spark, or do you want to set the whole world on
fire?"
