Excerpt from Impressive New Clothes

​

​

TAYLOR

Why are you so nervous?

JIMMY

(Stumbles over words) Well, because you… I mean, I… Um… I should say…

TAYLOR

Look, you don’t have to be nervous around me. Just like you, I put my shoes on first.

JIMMY

(Confused) What?

TAYLOR

(Self-conscious) I don’t know.

JIMMY

No, wait. Go back a bit. What’s on first?

TAYLOR

Shoes on first.

JIMMY

Before your clothes?

TAYLOR

No, not before my clothes. But when I go out, I put my shoes on first.

JIMMY

(Still confused) What?

TAYLOR: Hats on second.

JIMMY

So, you put your shoes on first and hats on second.

TAYLOR

Right. And then…?

JIMMY

I don’t know

TAYLOR

Third, waistcoat.

JIMMY

And you do this every day.

TAYLOR

Every day.

JIMMY

You did this yesterday?

TAYLOR

Oh yes. Yesterday I was a real catch.

JIMMY

And you’ll do it again tomorrow?

TAYLOR

Tomorrow I’m pitching a whole new clothing line, so who knows.

JIMMY

Okay, let me get this straight. You put your shoes on first, hats on second. Then… (struggling) I don’t know.

TAYLOR

Third, waistcoat.

JIMMY

Right. Third, waistcoat. Yesterday you were catching and tomorrow you are pitching.

TAYLOR

Naturally.

JIMMY

This conversation has gone way out in left field.

TAYLOR

Why?

JIMMY

Because…

TAYLOR

I guess you’re right.
