Need a Speaker








Dorthy: (She is the coffee shop owner.) Hello...H-e-l-l-o!
Leelum: Hi, Dorthy, how is my fine coffee bean doing?
Dorthy: Leelum, sugar, if you call me another coffee bean....
Leelum: What? What are you going to do, honey? You know all I want is an espresso-
(he looks at Sherez.) Get it? Espresso.... (he laughs.)
Sherez: (Laughs)
Dorthy: Leelum, you remind me of one of those coffee beans that just got away?
Leelum: What do you mean, got away?
Dorthy: You know what I mean Mr. Espresso man.... You want it quick, strong, and you want it
now, but the only problem is you have the size of a coffee bean.
Dorthy, Sherez, and Leelum: (They Laugh.)
Dorthy: Now, how can I help you gentleman?
Sherez: I'll have a Late with no flavor please.
Dorthy: (She looks at Leelum with a smile) And for you coffee bean?
Leelum: I'll have an espresso and make that a triple.
Dorthy: A triple.... You would be luck to have a single Mr. Espresso man. (She starts to laugh as
she makes the coffee.)
Sherez: Leelum, you and your coffee lines. When are you going to give up on her?
Leelum: When ever they stop selling coffee.
Sherez: (Turns around and looks at the dope dealer who just walked in and approached the two
chess players.) Look who just walked in.
Leelum: (He turns and looks.) Who is he?
Sherez: He's a dope dealer trying to get some new business.
Leelum: In a coffee shop. What is he doing selling coffee beans? I should say something....
Sherez: (He looks at Leelum.) Dude, don't try to start something.
