GODOT
This is where dreams go to die.
JOHNNY
Joking with him.
Sort of embittered for an ice cream man, aren’t you? I thought your kind was supposed to be happy, always greeting kids. Making them smile.
GODOT
I’m lactose intolerant.
JOHNNY
Oh.
GODOT
Yeah.
JOHNNY
That’s unfortunate.
GODOT
You have no idea. I wanted to be a French Chef. Took this job just to pay the bills. Then I took a few wrong turns and now... I’m selling ice cream for the rest of my life.
JOHNNY
Ah. I see.
Beat.
Sorry you’re unhappy. I really need to get to that interview.
Johnny starts to exit.
GODOT
What are you interviewing for?
JOHNNY
Stops in his tracks.
Um...well...It’s a writing gig. I’m a writer. A journalist, actually!
GODOT
Oh yeah? What kind of a writing gig?
