Short Conversations
Mr. Everett Speechless
Richard Everett: Blackard!
Blackard: Yes, Mr.. Everett?
Everett: I'm speechless. My wife is speechless and my daughter is in tears.
Blackard: Ah, moved is she?
Everett: Moved? Sick. How dare you let our poor little girl get on that stage and make such a fool out of herself!
Blackard: What?
Everett: We never pretended that she was the most talented girl around, but for you who should know better to let her get up and, and...I'd sue you for malpractice if such a thing were possible!
Blackard: But I did it for you, the money, for the class.
Everett: The money for the class? You can forget about that.
Blackard: What?
Everett: The only way I'd give you a penny for your class is if I had my brain replaced by a very small cauliflower. I hope you're satisfied! I'm coming, I'm coming...
Blackard: But Mr.. Everett! I don't understand. |
