EVERYTHING (A relationship in two pages.)

HER: Well,I want you to tell me everything.

HIM: Everything?

HER: Yeah.

HIM: Everything is a lot.

HER: Okay.

HIM It’s just---

HER: No you’re right.

HIM:Everything.

HER: Okay maybe part of everything, maybe I don’t want to know everything.

HIM: Which part?

HER: I don’t know.  Don’t you want to…

HIM: I mean, sure, yes. I don’t know. I guess.

HER: You guess?

HIM: I mean I just thought I’d know what, you told me, when you told me. What's the rush? 

HER: Yeah, but how much time do we have?

HIM: As long as we want.

HER: But what if I want less time than you, or you want less time than me?
HIM: Should we think about that now?
HER: No. Not yet. 

HIM: And I’m going to get new everything, I mean I’m going to live, my life. And you are too. I hope. 

HER: Yeah, I’d assume so. Hope so. 

HIM: But I do want to know things. Like the things you want to tell me.

HER:  Are you just saying that? Like what?

HIM: Like whatever you want to tell me.

HER: But that’s like a setup.

HIM: What?

HER: It’s like you playing a game to find out what it is I want you to say that you want me to tell you.

HIM: I don’t...that sentence was confusing-

HER: I mean if you want to know something ask. Ask for what you want. 

HIM: Yeah, but that’s a game too.

HER: Okay so it’s all a game then all of it.

HIM: You mean this? Us?

HER: Is there an us?

HIM: No. I don’t know. Do you think there is?

HER: I asked you first.

HIM: Okay, let’s table that. The us thing.

HER: Sounds good.

HIM: Good...Okay, so it’s a game.

HER: I mean I guess so.  I mean we could gather all this information and it could go nowhere. We could know all these things and for nothing. 

HIM: Like the fact I know my ex girlfriend hated socks.

HER: Yes, right. Like that.

HIM: And beards.

HER: I hate beards.

HIM: You do?

HER: Yeah.

HIM: So I’m going to have to shave.

HER: No, it’s your face.

HIM: But you’d like it better if I shaved.

HER; I'd like your face regardless. It's not my face. 

HIM: But it’s better shaven?

HER: I just don’t know why you’d hide it, but it's your face.

HIM: It’s not hiding it’s adding.

HER: It could be hiding pock scars. A lot of times people have beards to hide pock scars. 

HIM: Do you see pock scars?

HER: It’s your face. I don’t want to make decisions about your face.

HIM: But you have a preference.

HER: It hurts.  If you had to kiss a beard it would hurt.

HIM: So if I want to kiss you I have to shave?

HER: This is what I meant about only sharing part of everything. You have to build up to this stuff. 

HIM: Right.

HER: So what I was saying those facts…

HIM: The beards and the socks?

HER: Yes the beard and the socks are just taking up space in your head and you’re never going to use them.

HIM: Right, there’s not like an ex pop quiz.

HER: Right, so maybe I was wrong maybe I shouldn’t know anything.Don't tell me anything. 

HIM: So now you want to know nothing?

HER: I don’t know.

HIM: But what would we talk about?

HER: We’re talking now?

HIM: Yeah, but we’re talking like robots we’re talking like Mamet characters.

HER: You like David Mamet?

HIM: Sometimes.

HER: You know who David Mamet is?

HIM: I’m not a moron I know who David Mamet is.

HER: That’s sweet.

HIM: Good. It's not pretentious?
HER: No, it's sweet, smart.
HIM: Oh. 

HER: I like socks by the way. I mean who doesn’t like socks.  They’re like a necessity if you have feet. 

HIM: I’m glad you like socks.
HER: Thanks. 

HIM: What I’m saying is we have to know something.

HER: Even if it’s pointless?

HIM: Incase it’s not.

HER: And when will we know if it’s not…pointless.

HIM: At the end I guess? We won’t know until the end.

HER: Right.

HIM: And we won’t know everything...

HER: We can’t.
(BEAT) 

HIM: Should we order.

HER: I think so.
