Yourself?
Cami: Hi,
my name is Cami Broussard. I’m a senior in high school and I want to be a chef.
Julian:
Hi, I’m Julian Wyatt.
Cami:
Julian, be nice.
Julian: I
am being nice. I answered, didn’t I?
Cami: Say
something else. Tell them about how you were in Afghanistan.
Julian:
No.
Cami:
Please?
Julian:
Fine. I was in Afghanistan.
Um… Okay. How does it feel to be home now, Julian?
Julian:
Great, thanks.
Cami:
Come on, be honest. Tell her about how it’s been difficult for you. How you
sometimes
can’t
cope. How you lost your leg and had to go through so much medical stuff.
Julian:
I’m not getting into that with her. She asked me how it feels to be home. She
didn’t ask
for my
life story.
Cami:
Tell her what you think of Vermont, then.
Julian:
Okay sure. Vermont’s nice.
Glad to hear it. So, what’s going on with you two? Are you
two in love?
Julian:
She doesn’t seriously think I’m going to answer that, does she?
Cami:
Maybe this was a mistake.
Julian:
She asked me if I’m in love with you. Don’t you think that’s kind of personal?
I mean,
what’s
she going to ask next, how far we’ve gone in bed together?
Cami:
Let’s just leave.
No wait! Please don’t go! I’m new at interviewing and didn’t
mean to offend you guys. I’ll
ask an easy one. Okay? Tell me about your future plans.
Cami, you’re graduating high school soon. Julian, you’re recovering from your
injuries. Where do you see yourselves going next?
Cami:
Actually, you do have a point, Julian. These questions are kind of personal. I
mean, I
don’t
want to get into that with her.
Julian:
I’ll handle this. Where I see us going next is out of this room. Come on, Cami.
Cami: I’m
right behind you.
Wait! Please! A few more quick and fun ones for you guys, if
I could… Where was your first date?
Cami:
Date? You mean like where he takes me out to dinner and a movie?
Julian:
You want that?
Cami: No,
it’s okay.
Julian:
I’ll take you out for dinner and a movie.
Cami: No,
Julian. It’s fine. I understand you’ve been recovering.
Julian:
Mademoiselle Broussard, would you please go out to dinner with me?
Cami:
What happened to my movie?
Julian:
You can get a movie, too.
Cami: And
a kiss goodnight?
Julian:
You want a kiss?
Aww -- you guys are sweet! Hold on, let me get my phone out
to capture the moment.
Julian:
She really is obnoxious.
Cami: Who
is?
