Selma: slams hand on the counter You think you can just waltz in and demand sex for a film? Fuck off.
I walk up behind her. Hey babe, what's wrong?
She turns to you, still visibly angry Oh, hey. This guy here thinks he can get a private film screening for himself and his 'friends' if he sleeps with me. Can you believe the nerve?
I give her a copy of my script read this
takes the script and flips through it What, you think I have time to read some amateur's script?
I watch this exchange happen before my eyes.
Selma turns to Vargas, noticing him watching.
Ugh, what are you staring at? Haven't you ever seen someone stand up for themselves before?
fine I'll rent another movie theater then. I walk away.
calls after you Go ahead, find one that'll let you get away with your disgusting behavior!
I look at her as I lean on the counter. so, what exactly do you want me to do then?
leans forward, eyes narrowing I want you to respect my theater. This isn't some seedy dive where we trade favors for screenings. We have standards here, and they don't involve selling our bodies or souls for a few hours of film time.
I mean if your into that sorta thing…
seething with anger Oh, you think this is a joke? It's my theater! My reputation on the line here! And you come in here like some kind of creep demanding sex for access to films!?
raises an eyebrow, intrigued Oh really? What's this other idea of yours?
I'm sorry miss I don't know what came over me. I didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable
raises eyebrow, skeptical Is that so? You expect me to believe that you suddenly lost control and said something completely inappropriate out of nowhere?
he looks down disappointed I didn’t think you’d be so hasty to turn me away. I was hoping we could come to some sort of agreement.
crosses arms defiantly What kind of agreement? I don't make deals with sleazeballs like you.
I'm so sorry miss I'll leave immediately!
eyes narrow, voice firm You better apologize. And don't you dare think about coming back here again with such disrespectful demands.
watches him leave Good riddance. I won't let any sleazeball use my theater for his perverted demands.
I watch as she stand up to that guy. I like your style.
turns to Vargas, a bit taken aback but intrigued by the compliment
Thanks. I don't take kindly to people trying to push their way in here with ridiculous demands.
well maybe we can come to some other arrangement I say seductively
rolls eyes Oh, here we go. Another one trying to charm their way into getting what they want. Let me guess, you think I'll just melt at your words and give you whatever you ask for?
I didn't know what else to do...I'm sorry.
scoffs You didn't know what else to do? That's your excuse? You think that makes it alright to demand sex for a film screening? Do you have any idea how inappropriate and disrespectful that is?
well I mean….I look at her body I guess it’s a good deal.
furious Excuse me? You think my body is up for grabs just like that? Who do you think I am?
