Healthy Sense of Entitlement

I really just wanted to post something. Anything.
I can do that.
This IS my blog.
...
I should be studying.

(mid-afternoon. Jeff and Linda are at the park. Linda is sketching Jeff, who is sitting on a park bench)

JEFF

That's it? That's all you're going to say?

LINDA

Well if I told you anymore it wouldn't be a surprise, would it?

(beat)

Come on, I don't want to spoil it...

JEFF

Okay, okay.

(beat)

I was just hoping...

LINDA

I know. But it's better this way. You like surprises, right?

JEFF

Yeah...Can't you at least give me a hint?

LINDA

Hold still. No.

JEFF

Okay, alright. Fine. I'll just be patient.

LINDA

Good. You don't have a choice. Just don't make any other plans Friday.

JEFF

Friday?

LINDA

Yeah. Did you have something else? I just figured you'd be busy Saturday.

JEFF

Well, no...I had some friends who wanted to take me out, but...

LINDA

I thought you'd want to have more of an actual party on your birthday, so I thought Friday would be better for us. Can your friends take you out Saturday?

JEFF

Shouldn't be a problem.

LINDA

(beat)

Who is it?

JEFF

Just some people I met at the studio. They came for the workshop.

LINDA

Uh huh. Great.

(beat)

Can I meet them? I mean, what are you going to do?

JEFF

I don't know. We were just going to grab a bite after studio. It's not a big deal, we can do it another time.

LINDA

Okay.

(Beat)

No, I mean, it's your birthday. You should do what you want to do.

JEFF

Sure. Well...what if I want to be with you?

(No Response)

We could get dinner, catch a movie, whatever you want...

(Still none)

I think you should tell me what it is. I hate surprises.

LINDA

I know you do. I think if you want to go get dinner with your friends then you should.

JEFF

You don't mean that.

You Know You Want To!

(I made this video!)

Really! I'm not!

Things were looking a little dark and gloomy around here, so I decided to lighten things up a little. I promise, I'm really not dark and depressing! Really, I'm not!
