(setting is in restaurant, man is sitting at table alone)
Kevin: Hi, I was wondering if I could get a drink.
Waiter: Are you by yourself?
Kevin: No, I’m awaiting a blind date. Sort of. My friend set me up with an
ex-girlfriend that I used to go out with, but he wouldn’t tell me who it was.
Waiter: That’s strange.
Kevin: Hey, when you’re urging for ‘tang, you’ll do anything. Am I right?
Waiter: I’m a eunuch.
Kevin: Uh...
Waiter: (visibly upset) I’ll be right back with your drink.
(voice shouts out)
Vanessa (voice): Kevin! Kevin, is that you?
Kevin: Who is that?
(woman comes out with green complexion, spider-veins, cobwebs all over, dirt all over her)
Vanessa: It’s me, Vanessa.
Kevin: (disturbed) Vanessa?
Vanessa: Wow, I have to sit down. I’m just so tired.
Kevin: Uh-huh.
(Vanessa sits down and bones make cracking and breaking sounds)
Vanessa: It is so good to see you again.
Kevin: Same here. Um....
Vanessa: Wow, do you remember the last time we went out on a date?
Kevin: It was quite some time ago.
Vanessa: I’ll bet you would never think it was me, huh?
Kevin: Actually, you’re right on the money with that observation.
Vanessa: I’m glad I surprised you.
Kevin: Surprise is very much an understatement.
Vanessa: So, what’s going on?
Kevin: (shaken, cringing) Oh, nothing much. I’m assistant manager at Denny’s.
Vanessa: That’s good.
Kevin: And I drive a blue...I’m sorry.
Vanessa: What is it?
Kevin: I don’t want to sound obtrusive. After all, it is a date, right?
Vanessa: Right. Ask away.
Kevin: Didn’t you die two years ago?
Vanessa: That I did. Was that your question?
Kevin: (confused) One of several. If you're dead, why are you here?
Vanessa: Well, I have to get out. I mean, just because I’m dead doesn’t mean I
have to stop living.
Kevin: Actually, I believe that is what dead people do. They stay in their graves, where they rot away and turn to dust. And your soul goes into Heaven or Hell or a horse.
Vanessa: Look, I know we had our problems with communication when we were going
out, but I don’t want that to happen tonight. This is a new happening.
Kevin: What?
Vanessa: Just ask me what you really want to ask me.
Kevin: That was the real question.
Vanessa: I know you’re covering for something else.
Kevin: I’m not. Is this even possible to walk around dead like this?
Vanessa: Hon, it’s me, Vanessa. Let it out. Ask me what you want.
Kevin: Alright. My friend is playing a huge joke on me.
Vanessa: Oh, is he?
(Vanessa pulls out eyeball and shows it to him, and then puts it back in)
Kevin: Well, you really know how to keep a man.
Vanessa: I’m starving. Did you order yet?
Kevin: Uh, no. I didn’t know what to order for a half-dead zombie that I used to
fool around with. It kind of slipped away from me what I should order.
Vanessa: You’re so silly.
(patron approaches table)
Patron: Hi, I’m sitting way at the other end of the restaurant.
Vanessa: Yes?
Patron: I was just wondering if you could turn down your offensive odor just a
teensy bit. Please. For my sake, at least.
Vanessa: Odor?
Patron: Yes, it’s the worst smell I could ever imagine. And once again, I have
to say, I’m at the opposite end of the building over there.
Kevin: (wincing) I can barely see it.
Patron: Uh-huh. That’s because it’s way down there. Anyways, I’m sure there is a
button somewhere where you can turn that cross between dead skunk and sewage.
Kevin: I’m sorry. It’s not her fault. She’s dead and all.
(patron leaves)
Vanessa: Look, I know this isn’t working out, but let’s just talk over a nice
dinner. Hopefully then, everything will work out.
Kevin: Whatever, Elvira.
(waiter approaches)
Waiter: Here are your complimentary soups that come with any of the dinners,
tonight. (looks at Vanessa) Wow, she’s a real catch. (whispers to Kevin) By that, I mean
she smells like a net full of slimy fish.
(waiter leaves)
Vanessa: Wow, minestrone. I’m so hungry I could eat a horse.
Kevin: Is that what zombies do?
(Vanessa goes to take a sip of soup, when a piece of her flesh falls into the bowl)
Vanessa: Whoops-a-daisy!
Kevin: That’s it! This is where I draw the line.
Vanessa: Oh, come on. Everything was going so well.
Kevin: I’m sorry, but I’m not a fan of a woman whose face falls apart in her
appetizer. But, hey, I’m picky.
Vanessa: That’s not fair, Kevin.
Kevin: I know, Vanessa, it’s not fair. But, you’re dead. Let’s face it. (sad, emotional
music starts playing) The two of us being together would be the next Romeo & Juliet. We are two completely different people in an imperfect world. Our paths crossing today may have been magical, but nothing will ever bring us together in this topsy-turvy time. (music stops) Plus, I don’t do dead chicks. (gets up and leaves)
(manager comes up to table)
Manager: We are receiving many complaints from the dinner guests here about the
stench coming from this table. I’m afraid I’m going to have to ask you to leave.
Vanessa: I get dumped by my favorite ex-boyfriend and now this.
Manager: I’m sorry to hear that. I’d be glad to give you a ride home.
Vanessa: That would be lovely. I live in Foxwoods Cemetery.
Manager: Maybe you could come over to my place for dinner, since you didn’t have
any tonight.
Vanessa: You know, I am undead.
Manager: You still smell better than the random hooker I bring home every night.
It’s a habit.
(hold hands and proceed away with worms falling from woman)
