Chapter 12 Bloopers

Blooper 1:

A group of four, lucky enough to get a table out on the veranda, spoke comfortably together, as though they had passed the line of acquaintance into something more.

Marie: Are you sure its ok for you to be skipping work like this, Youji-kun?”

Youji: There’s no need for yobisute on my name. You can just call me dah Rastaaah.

Blooper 2:

A waitress, dressed in a short, yellow ribbed skirt that bounced overtop a pleated hem of lace. The apron was of a twilled silk, lined with Victorian-styled fabric the same color as the bodice and sandals. Each girl’s hair was pulled back, curled, and fitted with a small, laced, maid’s crown. The name of the café was written on every tray, pad of paper, napkin, and pen.

“Is everything alright?” The waitress bent down and picked a few used napkin from around the table. “Can I get you anything else?”

Youji: We’re fine, Sachik--”

Ken: Now that you asked, I could like another low-fat biscotti, two slices of Key Lime Pie, a pineapple wedge, another cappuccino, put some vanilla in it this time..

Autumn: An iced Latte would be nice, and a piece of chocolate cake….

Marie: I want some cheesecake.

Sachiko: (Furiously writing down the order) How many slices?

Marie: Like…the whole fuckin’ pie.

Brad: (Suddenly walking on stage) Do you have any ice cream? (Takes a seat by Marie) Strawberry if you could, with some whip cream and a cherry.

Marie: Oooh, Bradley, (Leans in) Can I have your cherry?

Brad: Pssh. Bitch, please…

Blooper 3:

Autumn: We don’t normally have enough time to shop for flowers. I guess that’s why we never came here.

Ken: Oh? Too busy? Same with us. We hardly ever get any free time these days. What do you two do career-wise?”

Autumn: We kill.

Marie: (Frowns) Wasn’t that a supposed to be a thought?

Autumn: (Thinking) We kill.

Marie: Too late. (Watches Ken and Youji make a run for it)

Autumn: (Slaps hand on table) SACHIKO! MORE COFFEE!

Blooper 3 Part 2 (Retake):

Autumn: We don’t normally have enough time to shop for flowers. I guess that’s why we never came here.

Ken: Oh? Too busy? Same with us. We hardly ever get any free time these days. What do you two do career-wise?”

Autumn: (Thinking): What do we do career-wise….We kill.

What a gloriously innocent question. The irony tickled Autumn’s mind to the point that she almost snickered.

Autumn: (Finally replying) Well…we--”

*Pause*

Autumn: ……we……

*Pause*

Autumn: ………………..…we… (Looks down at bag)

Marie: ……..

Youji:……………

Ken:…………….

She can kill with a smile, she can wound with her eyes….

Autumn: (Sighs)

Autumn’s hands snatched at her bag below her chair, digging through the mess of tissues, change, and the occasional switchblade that she carried around for safety. Her fingers touched cold vibrating plastic and, with a bothered sigh, she pulled it free.

Autumn: Hai? Moshi Mo--

Marie: WASSSSSSSSSSSSUUUUP

Autumn: (Turns and sees Marie with her cell phone to her ear)

Marie: ^__^ (Flashes peace sign)

Blooper 4:

Marie: Oh, no, no, no. We’ve had fun! Right, Aut? Autumn? I’m sorry, Youji, but could you give us a moment?

Youji: Of course.” (Youji nodded once and took a step back towards the table, he hand slipping out of his pocket. A pack of cigarettes twirled in his hand. He flashed the brunette a soft look and turned.)

Marie: Autumn Rasel Razelvich, what is--

Autumn: “Razel”…

Marie:…..What?

Autumn: Autumn RaZel RaSelvich.

Marie: (Looks around) Heh, did I mess it up again?

Autumn: You would think that after two years, you would know my name by now.

Marie: Sorry, Heather…

Autumn: (Smack) AUTUMN!
