Woman, a large, black woman
Girl, a skinny, chic, white girl
Lights up on a crowded subway car headed uptown. The WOMAN and the GIRL are both sitting, separated only by the small aisle. They both are listening to music on identical, new iPods.
WOMAN.
What are the odds!
GIRL.
(Taking off her headphones) Excuse me?
WOMAN.
I said, what are the odds that, of all the people in New York, we would both have the same iPod and would be sitting in the same subway car, listening to it at the same time!
GIRL.
Um, do you live in the 21st century or are you and your neon jacket just on a brief vacation from the 90s?
WOMAN.
Do you need a mother or are you just provoking strangers to parent you for the hell of it?
Silence between the two until the girl gets off at the next stop.
END.
haha this is great!
