Sample of script:
Elaine is very interested in her book, while Claire can’t seem to concentrate.
Claire, looks around, deep thought: Elaine, I . . .
Elaine: looks up from book: Yes, Claire?
Claire: Oh, (smiling), never mind.
Elaine: Okay. (goes back to reading)
Claire: bothered: Elaine, I really need . . .
Elaine: Yes, Claire?
Claire: Well, I was just wondering, . . . nothing. Sorry to have bothered you.
Elaine: Claire, is there something the matter?
Claire: Oh no! Everything is fine. Go back to your reading.
Elaine, suspicious: Okay.
Women are quiet for a moment, then Claire suddenly blurts out
Claire: Elaine – how much do you love me?
Elaine, slowly looks up from book: What?
Claire: How much do you love me? I know we’ve been friends for a long time, but do you really love me as much as a true friend should?
Elaine: What are you talking about? Of course I love you as a friend should! How can you ask that?
Claire: Well, I just wanted to make sure.
Elaine: Make sure? How many times have I told you I loved you? I tell you over and over that I love you. Shouldn’t that sink in sometime and make you realize that I really do love you?
