Scene Seven
Glama coach at Olvera St,
Friday midday.
Lights up as Jeff joins Angel and the three ladies at the bus.
ZITA
Well, did you set the date?
JEFF
Uh, no, not really.
RUTH
You still have the ring.
JEFF
Yes, I think she said "No".
ZITA
You're kidding! Turn down a cute young fellow like you? Well, I'll just go set her straight.
Zita starts to get up. Jeff waves her back into her seat.
JEFF
Thank you, Miss Reid, but maybe I'll just talk to her after she calms down.
ZITA
What a dilemon! It just proves what they say, "Don't count your chickens before they cross the road".
JEFF
Yes, uh, sorry to disappoint you, ladies. It just didn't turn out like I thought it would.
DAWN
Is there anything we can do to help?
JEFF
No, thank you. I think it's up to me.
ZITA
The monkey's in your court.
JEFF
And the ball is on my back. Angel, we'd better get going. Will you do the honors?
Lights fade out.
