MaxChaos takes NutJob to one side, “where were you at break time? HayWire wanted to talk to you! I wanted to talk to you!”
“I was stage crew, I had to sort out a couple of things in the prop room. And I wanted to talk to Kristal but she was stuck in the ladies’ dressing room for literally hours!”
Kayt and Conning have already dragged KristalClear back to the dressing room so that they can finish their chat. MaxChaos and HayWire have now succeeded in cornering NutJob so that they can actually start their chat. NutJob is unsure why suddenly he has become so popular.
“OK, come on then, to my office!”
MaxChaos and HayWire are both puzzled, thinking “office?”
“Do make yourself comfortable on my couch,” says NutJob, pointing to the bland tables in the prop room, “now, what seems to be the trouble?”
Failing to spot the humour MaxChaos and HayWire select a table to sit on, mirroring what NutJob is doing.
“Kayt’s very pretty,” says MaxChaos.
Strikingly, by HayWire’s standards, he opens up with a clear and commanding voice, “Conning’s pretty!”
“Conning’s pretty narked with me!” says MaxChaos.
“What?” asks HayWire.
“Nothing! Just pretend I said nothing.”
“Yes, they are attractive,” says NutJob, “but it’s not all about beauty, I think there needs to be something more than just beauty.”
MaxChaos adds, “that’s what we wanted to ask you about, how did you and Kristal connect?”
“Ooh, that’s a tough one! I think you’d be better off asking her!”
Perplexed, yet still maintaining a calm voice MaxChaos says, “what?”
“I’m serious!” says NutJob.
A brief hush descends as they wait for him to say more.
