Monologue Mania Day #907 No Bother

No Bother
A monologue by Janet S. Tiger (c) 2016 all rights

.
(The woman is smiling, but it is not
a pleasant smile, not a pleasant smile at all. Too many teeth, or perhaps
none at all, no matter.....she sees the audience and the smile is gone)
Oh, THERE
you are! I was not trying to avoid you! Honestly! And as for
your request.....of course it is NO BOTHER, no bother at all!
Why
should I be concerned about doing
extra favors for YOU?! I have nothing else to do with my time except wait
by my phone, desperate to hear just what it is that you need from me today!
I'm ready to drop everything JUST FOR YOU!
And no,
of course the fact that you could not help me when my HOME WAS FLOODED or the
time when my car broke down and you couldn’t find a spare minute to take me to
catch that AIRPLANE TO THE FUNERAL – no matter!
I would NEVER hold a grudge!
In fact,
I have considered just pulling my car over to your house and sitting in front
until you need me. All you have to do is
just call and I am right there! At your bidding!
Why, the
rest of my life is so completely INCONSEQUENTIAL and UNIMPORTANT that any other
tasks I have PALE in comparison to the ESSENTIAL chores you ask of me!
So
PLEASE! Just call me any time you want.....it's really NO BOTHER at all!
(She turns to leave, stops, listens, looks
back)
Why yes,
I do have a new phone number.......of course I'll send it to you....that would
be...(smirking)...no bother....no bother at all....
(She exits, finally smiling for real.)
