Rex
You said you'd be here at 11.
Rex
You're lying now. Stand up!
Delia
You're the one who got me home at 3 30 last night.
Rex
So? I still got up and got to the gig on time.
Delia
If you wanted me bright and smiling in the a.m., you should have got me home at a decent hour.
Rex
Maybe asking you out wasn't such a good idea.
Delia
I told you it wasn't, but you wouldn't listen. We shouldn't shit where we sleep.
Delia
You know what I mean. It's asking for trouble to date your boss.
Rex
You could have said no.
Delia
Oh. So it's my fault?
Rex
It's your fault you're still in bed.
Delia
OK OK. I'll be right over.
Rex
You were supposed to be here more than an hour ago.
Rex
Don't forget the gun.
Rex
I left it in your garage. Don't you remember anything from last night?
Delia
I remember three Cuba Libres.
Rex
Great :( You had six.
Delia
Feels like sixteen.
Rex
Don't blame me if you can't hold your liquor. Get up!
Rex
I gotta get across town. You'll have to do it yourself.
Rex
We've got a contract. It needs to be done.
Delia
That's your department.
Delia
I can be there in 15. Can't you wait?
Rex
I've got some people I gotta meet. They're probably already waiting.
Rex
Don't beg. You're the reason I'm running late.
Delia
I don't know how to use a gun.
Rex
Just point it and pull the trigger.
Delia
If I mess up we're screwed.
Rex
Then don't mess up. Just be careful.
Delia
I'm afraid. You've never even shown me how the gun works. Can't you teach me how to use it? Maybe let me practice? We can do this thing some other time.
Rex
Buck up. Where's your courage?
Delia
Where's your brain? I'm bound to blow it. I'm not prepared for this.
Rex
A contract's a contract. The clock is ticking.
Delia
I'm afraid of the gun.
Rex
What would you rather use? A hammer?
Delia
At least I've held one in my hand before.
Rex
And what if you miss? Then what? You miss with the gun, you can take another shot. You miss with a hammer, it could get messy.
Delia
I'm outta here. Just wait for me.
Rex
I told you I had to go meet some people. Did you bring the gun?
Delia
A brown paper bag. I didn't want it in my purse.
Rex
You brought it in a paper bag?
Rex
The gun's fully loaded. If the bag rips, it could fall and go off. Someone could get hurt.
Delia
The bag's not going to rip. It's from Bloomingdales.
Rex
I wonder about your judgment sometimes.
Delia
My judgment? Who kept me out til all hours? You knew we had this thing to do this morning.
Rex
Don't rub it in. I'm already regretting it.
Delia
Regret asking me out or getting me back so late?
Rex
I'm glad I asked you out, OK? Is that what you want me to say?
Delia
I want you to be honest.
Rex
I had a good time. Didn't you?
Delia
I did. Until this a.m. I'm really feeling uneasy about doing this.
Rex
You'll do fine. You've got nerves of steel.
Delia
Then why am I shaking like a leaf?
Delia
You were drinking more than I was.
Rex
The magic of body weight. You ready for your big debut?
Delia
I'm ringing the bell. No answer. I don't think he's here.
Rex
Damn. I hope he didn't split.
Delia
Hold on. There's a note on the ground. Must have fallen off the door.
Delia
He ran out for coffee. Back in ten.
Rex
Good. That gives you time to get ready.
Rex
Go around the back. There's a key to the kitchen door under the mat.
Delia
Shouldn't I wait for him?
Rex
It'll go a lot smoother if you're all set to go when he gets back. Especially if you have trouble with the safety on the gun.
Delia
OK. I'm walking down the driveway.
Rex
I really appreciate this. I know you're nervous.
Delia
You owe me big time.
Rex
How about dinner tonight.
Delia
After all this, you want to take me out again?
Rex
I told you I had a good time.
Delia
You weren't very convincing.
Rex
You're not making this easy.
Delia
Sorry. I'm just nervous.
Delia
I opened the door and put back the key. Now I'm going in.
Delia
I'm in the kitchen.
Rex
OK. CAREFULLY take the gun out of the bag. I don't want any accidents.
Delia
Did you really have a good time?
Delia
OK. I've got the gun.
Rex
Do you see a little thingie at the top of the handle?
Rex
Push it to the left to unlock the trigger.
Delia
Heard a car door. He's back.
Delia
One shot. I nailed it.
Delia
Signing off on the contract and writing the final check.
Rex
Thank god. I thought he'd never be satisfied with our remodel of that house.
Delia
I think he liked watching a woman use a nail gun. And that loose piece of molding looks perfect now.
