Act 1
A boy and girl meet and speak as though in a novel: He said and then I said. Small talk and awkward silences descend into blah blah blah. Each considers breaking away but remembers how being alone is. They reminisce about childhood, growing up and so on until they suddenly become animated and rise to witty banter, establishing a rapport with no more awkward silences.
One Year Later
Act 2
This is the story of a jittery girl who realizes that her beau is going to pop the question tonight and the thought terrifies her even though she loves him. She calls her sister for help ... and the police. And she calls the pizza parlor for a delivery: anything to distract the boyfriend. "I'm not ready yet. I want you to wait for me. Do you love me? Then wait for me," she cries as the cop eats the last piece of pizza.
