Situation 24:

Mike Meets Mimi

(Bill decides to introduce Mike to his new girlfriend,Mimi.)

Mike,today’s the day I want you to meet Mimi.

Great,but who is Mimi?

Mimi is my new girlfriend,you know that.

No.You told me her name was Margaret.

Well,it is,but her friends all call her Mimi.

Wow,you really are in love.

What? Because I call her Mimi?

Forget it.Let’s go meet her.

(Mike and Bill go outside where Mimi is waiting for them.Bill and Mimi forget

Mike is there.)

Hi,sweetheart.

Hi,honey.

(Mike makes a sour face.)

Excuse me,but are you going to introduce me?

Oh,sorry.Mimi this is Mike.

It’s so nice to meet you.Bill has told

me so much about you.

That was fast considering you two

just met a couple of days ago.I guess there’s not

much to tell about me.

Oh,stop. Anyway, my name is Margaret

but you can call me Mimi.

Thank you.My name is Mike.You can call me Mike.

Stop joking around,Mike.He’s a really nice guy once

you get to know him.

I’m sure he is.

Let’s go to get some ice cream.It’s hot as hell out

here and we can talk in there.

That’s a great idea.

(Sarcastically)Yeah,you’re a genius.
