Kaida: Hey Donovan, I think you better take a look at this.
Donovan: Can’t it wait, Kaida? I’m really busy.
Kaida: Well, sure it can wait.
Donovan: Good, then can I have some peace and quiet, too?

Kaida: I promise I’ll shut up as soon as you look at this.
Donovan: (huge, exasperated sigh) All right. What’s so important I have to see it right now?
Kaida: What’s your girlfriend’s name again?

Donovan: None of your damn……..I don’t remember saying I had a girlfriend. Mind your business, okay, Kaida?
Kaida: Listen, I just thought you’d want to know that someone named Elena posted a message to someone named Donovan on that bulletin board again.

Donovan: Elena did?
Kaida: Yes, Elena did. So I was right – That is her name. Might want to read it - and weep.

Donovan: Why weep?

Kaida: Because she posted like over a week ago. If it was me, my name would be So Outta There.

Donovan: Why didn’t she tell me she was going to be stateside again?

Kaida: I’m sure I don’t know. I’ve been too busy minding my own business. (leaves)

Donovan: My phone hasn’t rung once……. Damn – how long has it been dead?

Donovan: *types* Dear Elena: When did you get back from you business trip? I’m sorry I didn’t see your message until now; I wasn’t expecting one and……

Donovan: A week. How am I ever going to make this right?
