No, she can't hear you, I'm in the toilet. She is acting like such a bitch for no<br />
reason, I just don't think she has ever made a friend before.<br />
Beat<br />
You can't say that, that's so mean ... (she laughs) Ok, I have to get back now, I'll<br />
ring you after work.<br />
She COMES back onto stage putting her phone back in her pocket. MARIYA is<br />
sweeping the floor.<br />
<strong>We</strong>re you just on the phone?<br />
Did you hear me?<br />
Very much so.<br />
MARIYA<br />

MARIYA<br />
AOIFE<br />
Ohh, you're probably thinking I was talking about you. I wasn't, don't worry.<br />
Lucky me! (sarcastically)<br />
MARIYA<br />
Peter walks in the door and as the bell rings they both jump slightly.<br />
PETER<br />
I just have to talk to ye about something right, so we are a family owned<br />
business and this is the first time we are hiring outside help, and now Pm<br />
kinda not getting the sense that either of you have that kinda thing we are<br />
looking for.<br />
MARIYA<br />
<strong>We</strong>ll like to be fair how are we supposed to act like family if we hardly even<br />
know each other?<br />
PETER<br />
No, that is exactly my point, you don't know each other. So- (He slaps his<br />
hands together) Your shift is nearly over, but I have just picked up our weekly<br />
restock for our sweets, so the two of you are going to take this evening to<br />
restock the sweets and get to know one another.<br />
AOIFE<br />
What if we just get to know each other during work?<br />
