Saturday Centus #73 He said, she said, they said . . .

Jenny Matlock’s challenge this week is to write dialogue only, the word count not to exceed 156 words, including the six words of the prompt which is "Are you seriously ordering another martini?"  

He said, "Are you seriously ordering another martini?"

She said, “What’s it to you?”

He said, “I thought we were going to dinner.”

She said, “We are, but we’ve got time for another drink.”

He said, “You don’t even like martini.”

She said, “So?”

He said, “So why drink it?”

She said, “Do I have to have a reason?”

He said, “No, but I’d be interested in the answer.”

She said, “It’s sophisticated and I like the shape of the glass.”

He said, “That’s a stupid reason.”

She said, “You asked – I told you.”

He said, “You’re mad.”

She said, “So shoot me.”

He said, “Where’s the gun?”

She said, “Use a bow and arrow.”

He said, “Suppose I hit a bull’s-eye?”

She said, “So I’m a cow now?”

He said, “Bull’s-eye, not cow’s-eye.”

She said, “Same difference.”

They said, “What was the director thinking? This is the worst film we’ve ever seen.”

  4. She said in any genre and I think you did a pretty good job of it!

    It annoys me when people have to insist on knowing the answers to stupid questions andthen when they get their answer they get mad. Sometimes you just can't win.

  5. Wrong? How? It's all dialogue and it draws a clear picture of the scene. I think it's great.

  10. I love this dialogue, can't see why you think it's somehow incorrect.
    I agree "the shape of the glass" is a fabulous reason for having another martini.
    And your new header is wonderful. I'd love to be able to take a photo like that. O well, my good camera is going in for repair this week, so maybe I'll learn.
