Leroy:
What are you doing?

Coco:
The dishes.

Leroy:
Guests ain’t supposed to do the dishes.

Coco:
Well, Emily Post says every guest should help out.

Leroy:
Well, I hate to burst your bubble sister, but Emily Post ain’t never been above 110^th Street. (Coco, very subdued, walks over to the window and looks out) Hey Coco, what’s the matter? What’s the matter baby?

Coco:
Just everything. Just everything.

Leroy:
C’mon Coco. Coco. You’re not the first actress who ever got fired.

Coco:
That’s for sure.

Leroy:
What do you mean? You been fired before?

Coco:
Before I came here. I had a really big part. In a really big show. And I blew it. Because I got scared.

Leroy:
It’s ok, it ain’t no big thing. It’s no big thing.

Coco:
Leroy, don’t you see? I’m doing it again. I’m scared to fail. I’m scared to fail.

Leroy:
Hey, you won’t fail. Look at me, you won’t fail. You’re one of the best things out there. You won’t fail. (kisses the top of her head)

Coco:
(looks at him) What, are you getting hung up on me?

Leroy:
No. (pause) What if I was? What would you say?

Coco:
I would say that would be nice. But a mistake.

Leroy:
Lucky for me I’m not then huh? (takes his hands aways from Coco’s)

Coco:
(taking his hand again) Yeah.

(They kiss)
