Pick Ups - Alex Broun

50WENDY:SUSIE:WENDY:SUSIE:WENDY:You know the guys earlier on who were pulling down their pants infront of the girls' toilets. "I'll show you mine if you show meyours." Half of them you couldn't see it it was that small.He wasn't one of them. I would've noticed.You're too pissed by now to notice anything.So are you.It just proves my point. No one who hangs out here is alright.SUSIE: Then why do we come here ?PAUSE. WENDY LOOKS AT SUZY - AGHAST.WENDY:SUSIE:WENDY:SUSIE:WENDY:SUSIE:WENDY:SUSIE:WENDY:Because we're friends, because there's nowhere else to go and because thedrinks are free for girls before twelve. It's part of the routine. We comehere to drink and chat, not to be picked up.You're just pissed off that no one ever tries to get on to you.That's not true. I wouldn't want any of these losers. I put up the "notinterested" sign, that's why they stay away. Unlike you. You're all over theplace. You'd flirt with the cigarette machine. Look, what have you evergot here ? One night stands and maniacs.Not all of them.What about Mike ? The one you met in the Gents.What about him ? We were together for six weeks.More like six hours. Same with Bruce and Tony and Gary. Andwhat about, what was his name ? Len. Len and the video camera.He only suggested it."I just want to remember how beautiful you are." Yeah, and sell a copy toall his mates. Weirdos and perverts. Every single one of them. Next time -just say no. Try it. You'll feel better. You don't have to take every offerthat comes along. You're better than that.BRETT APPROACHES.WENDY:Red alert. Here he comes. Remember - no.
