Muriel, late 20s
Tabitha, late 20s
(Lights up on Muriel standing near the buffet table of a high school reunion. Tabitha approaches.)
TABITHA
Muriel? Muriel Klotz?
MURIEL
Yes?
TABITHA (hugs Muriel)
Oh, my God! I haven’t since you since we graduated.
MURIEL
That’s right. We haven’t seen each other since then…you.
TABITHA
You…don’t remember me…it’s Tabitha. Tabitha Letterhos.
MURIEL
Oh, sure. Tabitha! We took Chemistry together.
TABITHA
Biology.
MURIEL
Of course. I get all my sciences mixed up.
TABITHA
You still don’t remember me.
MURIEL
No, no. Of course, I do. Tabitha. Just you’re hair-
TABITHA
Is exactly the same way I wore it ten years ago.
MURIEL
Well, you know, we all have put on a few extra pounds.
TABITHA
Except me.
MURIEL
Except you, is what I was going to say. You look great.
TABITHA
Right. You know, I used to think you were somebody real special. Someone I really admired. And I fooled myself into thinking we were friends, maybe not close friends, but friends enough to be glad to see each other, get together for coffee and to laugh about old times. I wasn’t even on your radar in high school, was I? Well, sorry I bothered you, Muriel. Enjoy the ten-year reunion.
(She exits.)
MURIEL
Facebook me!
