Interesting and most common phrases I over hear are:

1.     “That is good karma”.

2.      “The word common isn’t so common anymore”.

3.     “That’s an understatement”.

4.     “ Try this, push your tongue to the roof of your mouth it will stop your brain freeze.”

5.     “Don’t say I didn’t tell you so”.

6.     “Oh, you can hold on to that for me.”

7.     “That’s a typical man for ya”.

8.     “You know what really grinds my gears…?”

9.     “Hello, I’m losing you”.

10.  “OMG, are you serious”.

Setting: Two female friends just sat down at a booth in the bar of the restaurant to catch up.  Waitress came and greeted them, as they only ordered frozen margaritas and a side of spicy ranch for their chips and salsa.  

Script 1

       Scene 1: Texting

Courtney: “Hey, how are things going”.

Genie: “Not good. We’re probably going to get a divorce”.

Courtney: “Ugh, why do you think your going to get a divorce?”

Genie: He asked for one.

Courtney: “What?!!! Out of nowhere.

Genie: We got into a stupid argument last night. Like we always do! I said I want us to go to marriage counseling. And he said no, you need to get a job. I said how will me getting a job help our marriage. He said so you can support yourself after the divorce”.

Courtney: “OMG. That’s bullshit, you have a job its called being a stay at home mother of two boys who cooks, cleans, and does her wifey obligations.”

Genie. “Yeah I know, I need a drink”.

Courtney: “We should go to hacienda tonight for $2.50 margaritas! Can you go, I’ll pick you up?”

Genie: “We should, I could really use one. I have to put the boys down for bed, can we go at 8pm?

Courtney: “That’s fine, see you then”.

Beat 1: Courtney pulls into Genie’s driveway. Genie gets in the car.

Courtney: “Hey girl, haven’t seen you in forever!”

Genie: “Yes, it’s been way too long!”

Courtney: “So, what’s going on?”As she drives away from the house towards the restaurant.

Genie looks at Courtney with tears in her eyes.

Genie: “I don’t know what to do, Tony wants a divorce. I cried all night last night after he said that to me. 

Courtney: “I can’t believe he said that to you. You don’t deserve to be treated like that, how dare he. Well, you know I’m here for you”.

Genie: Thanks Court, now let’s go inside and get a margarita.

Beat 2: They sit down in a booth on the bar side, the waitress greets them and gets their order.

Waitress: “Here’s your margaritas ladies, enjoy!”

Courtney: “This is so good”. She takes a big gulp. “Oh no, brain freeze”.

Genie: “Try this, put your tongue to the roof of your mouth, it will stop your brain freeze”.

Courtney: “What, no way! Ok I’ll try it”. As they sit there laughing about how ridiculous she looks doing this.

Courtney: “How does that margarita taste? Does it feel good to get out of the house?”

Genie: “It’s amazing, I’m going to have to have another”, as she giggles. “It feels so nice to get out of the house and get to spend time with you, much needed girl time”.

Beat 3: As they sit there talking about what’s been going on in their lives they over hear the waitress talking to another table.

Guest 1: “I drank that way too fast, now I have a brain freeze”.

Waitress: “Did you know if you put your tongue on the roof of your mouth, it stops the brain freeze? ”

Guest 1: “Are you serious?”

Waitress: “True story, try it”.

Courtney and Genie look at each other with surprised faces.

Courtney: “OMG you just said that, hahaha”.

Genie: “I told you I was right, she must have over heard me telling you”.

Beat 4: They leave the restaurant and return back to Genies.

Genie: “I don’t want to go in”.

Courtney: “You will be fine, you got this girl. You have to stay strong for you and your children. You know I’m always here for you, anything you need.”

Genie: Thanks Courtney, that means a lot to me. I love hanging out with you, I can be myself and relax for once. Have a good night and I’ll text you later, bye”.

Courtney: “Bye girl, love ya. Have a good night”.

Each beat represents a change in the script as well as the characters too.
