Spring (ACT 1 - Scene 6)

SCENE 6

 

The dining room. Excel is busy eating. No one is around him.

 

EXCEL: (Mouthful) This tastes good! Human food is really outta the world.

                     

                      Spring and Cris enter.

 

SPRING: Umm… sir…

                                   

Excel turns his head to look over his shoulder at Spring.

EXCEL: Oh hey there! I’ve met you before, right?

SPRING: (nods slowly) And when we met, I think I was rude to you… so… (Half bows) I’m sorry!

EXCEL: (Laughs) Oh c’mon! What was so rude about that?

SPRING: I wasted your time, sir.

EXCEL: It didn’t actually matter, y’know.

CRIS: See? You just think too much sometimes!

SPRING: (Blushes) Yeah I guess… (Embarrassed) Hehe…

EXCEL: By the way, what is your name mademoiselle?

SPRING: Spring. Spring Van.

EXCEL: Pleasure meeting you, miss Van

SPRING: The pleasure’s all mine!

CRIS: (Waving her hand to divert attention to her) Hello! I’m alive too! You could always ask about me!

EXCEL: (Turning to Cris) Oh yes. Who are you, madam?

CRIS: The name’s Cris. (Grins widely) Cris Rix!

EXCEL: (Laughs) Cris Rix? I think I can make a song out of that!

CRIS: Oh really? (Crosses her arms across her chest) Let’s hear it then.

EXCEL: Okay then!

Excel clears his throat to begin his rap.

                This girl standin’ in front of me,

                Yeah, C’mon.

                Her name is quite extra-ordinary…

                Ordinary. Ex- extra ordinary.

                ‘Cause her name, yeah!

                Her name’s Crissy

                Crissy Rixy!

CRIS: (Acknowledging expression with raised eyebrows in sudden anticipation) Wow… You’re quite… horrible.

EXCEL: And she is a Sarcastic Girly! Yeah, yeah!

CRIS: (Slaps her forehead) Oh gimme a break!

                      Spring breaks out laughing.

 

SPRING: I’m sorry… I just… (Laughs some more) Cris is right, no offence…

EXCEL: (Smiles) none taken! I hear that all the time back at home.

CRIS: Back home?

EXCEL: (Looks shocked all of a sudden) Did I say back home? I… I meant the place I used to live – Yeah! Haha… Bye, now!

He gets up recklessly, making things around him fall and exits.

 

CRIS: Huh? What was that about?

SPRING: (Shrugs) I think he’s just a bit new to the idea of being an orphan.

CRIS: Guess so.

                      Curtains fall.

Right, so Excel's French? =O Or was that 'mademoiselle' part added for formality?
Nice Work. Though I didn't like the rap. Good Job. 'Jeetay Raho!' =D
