Prompt: "card"
Douglas: What’s that you’re writing, Martin?
Martin: Nothing.. nothing.. NOTHING!
Douglas: Oh come on, are you writing a valentines card?! Martin, I never knew you cared!
Martin: Oh ha ha Douglas it’s for Theresa.
Douglas: (leans over to see a blank card) well, you haven’t written much.
Martin: (sighs) no. I don’t really know what to write if I’m honest. I don’t normally do this sort of thing. I never really know what to say to women.
Douglas: Oh Martin, you’ve been going out for months now, Can’t you just say “I love you”?
Martin: Well… we haven’t actually said the “L” word yet. I’m not sure if this is the way to do it.
Douglas: Ah. Well do you?
Martin: Do I what?
Douglas: Do you love Theresa?
Martin: Well of…. This isn’t up for discussion Douglas!
Douglas: You DO!!! Oh Martin!
Martin: Shut up Douglas!!
Douglas: Martin it’s nothing to be embarrassed about! You’re both grown adults. You should express your feelings. She is a lovely girl, and the fact that she likes you is a good thing – it’s frankly baffling because she seems quite intelligent, but…
Martin: So you think I should just say it in the card?
Douglas: Of course you should. Let’s have a look at the card.
Martin hands over the card, Douglas turns it over…
Douglas: “With Sympathy”… well that’s one way of putting it, Martin. Maybe you might like to try in an actual valentines card though..?
