Blind Date (Female)


BLIND DATE by Horton Foote

Dolores

What are you doing out here, Sarah Nancy?  You cannot listen to the radio.  You can be seen from the street if you sit in this room listening to the radio.  I told that boy you were mortally ill with a sick headache and you cannot appear five minutes later perfectly well and sit in the living room and listen to the radio.  You will not hear Rudy Vallee and run the risk of someone seeing you and telling Felix about it.  What possesses you?  I ask two lovely young men over last week and you refuse to speak to either of them all evening.  I ask this sweet, charming boy over tonight and you walk out of the room while he is saying the books of the Bible.  Well, I tell you one thing, I will not ask another single boy over here again until you decide to be gracious as any girl here.  Anyone with the lovely Mother you have can certainly be gracious.  

(This was an extended realism piece I did and thought I'd share it.)
