The Script:
[Optional SFX: Outdoor, nature sounds.]
[Shy greeting.]
Hello there… I’m not too late or anything am I? I know you wanted to meet up pretty early today, but I’m sorry to say that my roommate actually had to cancel last minute because she’s feeling a bit under the weather.
Yeah, she got pretty sick, though funny enough, she’s blaming it on all the sick care scripts she’s been working on lately… heh heh… Oh, and she said not to worry! And that I’m supposed to tell you that you’re…welcome?
So uh, yeah, looks like you’re just stuck with me now…Is that gonna’ be okay? [The listener looks them over and asks about their choice of clothing for the trip.]
Oh! Uh yes, this is what I’m wearing…why?
No really, is something wrong with it?! Right, sorry… to be honest, I’ve never gone hiking with anyone before. Like ever.
[They shiver.]
Gee, that brisk morning air is a little chilly though, isn’t it?
What- is that for me? A spare jacket? Are you sure I can use it though? I don’t want it to be a problem… I guess it was kinda' dumb not to bring one with me…I just saw that it would be hot later today so I spaced it.
Okay, thanks… [Sniffs.] whoa, it smells kinda' good- what kind of dryer sheets do you use anyway? Wait, was that a weird question?
It was, huh? I’m sorry, uh…you have met me, right? I don’t get out much, sometimes I say weird things…
It’s kinda' just something I do…
My shoes? They should be alright, I think… I just bought them for this hike. They’re supposed to be trail shoes.
No, it’s okay, I was excited to get them so… it’s fine. They weren’t that expensive. I got a few other things to bring along too, just in case… ya know, like a first aid kit, some snacks, uh… a water bottle.
See? I’m not entirely hopeless am I? [Chuckles.]
Anti-bug balm? Uh…no, I uh… didn’t get any of that. You’ll let me use some of yours? Thanks… where does it go?
Oh, right! Duh… heh heh… I’ll just… there.
The back of my neck too? Okay… and this is actually gonna keep bugs away from me, right? Good good…
Now what’s that? Sunblock… wow, yeah… it’s a good thing you know what you’re doing for this whole hiking adventure because I was not prepared. [Nervously chuckles.]
[Speaker startles.]
Whoa, hey- what’s up? Why’re you so close? You wanted to put some on my face for me? Uhh…sure… that-that’ll be good. I mean fine. It’ll be fine… uh…hold still? Sure, I can do that. Eh…it’s cold. Thanks.
Okay, now that that’s done, do you think we have everything we need now? Ready to go? Great, I’ll let you lead the way then…
[Optional SFX: Outdoor and walking sounds.]
So this is what they call the “great outdoors” huh?
There sure are a lot of weeds out here, and trees…probably poison ivy. Do you go out on this trail often? My roommate did say you love to hike.
She also said that you particularly requested my presence on the hike trip today. [The listener is a bit flustered all of a sudden.]
Whoa, it’s okay! Sorry, I- I wasn’t trying to embarrass you or anything… I was just surprised that you’d want to hang out with me…
Ya know, beyond my usual awkward company when I attended those after-work social gatherings.
I gotta' say, if anyone had asked me back then when I first met you…if I thought I’d ever be out hiking alone with you…deep in these woods… I would have said they were crazy. And yet, somehow, here we are. [Chuckles.]
Then again, you were probably just being polite, right? So thanks for inviting me out here with you today. Even though I’m not really the outdoorsy type, I can see why you like it out here.
There’s a sort of peace… when you ignore the bugs, and the physical exertion… or the potential threat of running into some kinda’ rabid animal, …or maybe even a bear.
Oh, there’s no bears out here? Well that’s a relief…
Um wait… what’s that? A chu-Chupacabra?
Okay but wait, what is that? I’ve heard of them before, but I thought they were just myths?
You’re just messing with me right? Come on…you can’t do that to me out here.
[Suddenly a bug buzzes past.]
Ack! WHAT WAS THAT? Did you see it?! That thing was huge!
What if it comes back? Haha, you’ll protect me? Really?
Now I know you’re messing with me.
[They walk on in silence for a moment, the speaker nearly stumbling and barely dodging a whipping tree branch.]
So um… why did you want me to come out with you today? As you can see, I’m kind of a wimp about all this wilderness stuff.
I’m just overly anxious anyway, and I feel like I make a boring companion. I’m sure you know other people who are way more outgoing and entertaining than me.
That doesn’t bother you? Oh…
Well yeah… I still came out here because I… wanted to learn more about you, I guess…
Haha, I don’t know if that makes me brave or just stupid.
You’re probably just feeling obligated to say those things anyway… you don’t have to…I know I’m a bit pathetic, and I can be annoying.
Oh-sorry, am I upsetting you now?
Hmm? Repeat after you?
I’m… not pathetic… I’m not stupid… I’m…kind, and interesting. Eh…
[Bashful.]
Hey, stop, I’m getting embarrassed.
No, you’re right, I was being a bit of a downer. I just get like that sometimes, when I’m unsure of things… You’re having fun getting the chance to get to know me more? Uh…heh heh, okay.
What things do I like to do? Um, well you already know I like to game… uh, but I also do like to cook… and don’t laugh, but I also like to DJ for small events. Haha, well I love music, but I can’t sing so… disc jockey. [Chuckles.]
Hey! Look out! [The listener slips hard on some crumbling terrain, just out of reach, slipping down the side of the steep hillside all in a moment, causing the speaker to act fast.]
Oh my gawd, hey! Can you hear me? Hold on, I’m coming down there, don’t move! Shit…
Hey, are you okay?! Are you hurt? Does anything feel broken?!
Okay, but don’t move too fast… you slipped down a long way… can you stand? [Breathing heavily.]
Alright, good- [The listener moves to stand but then winces and starts to fall.]
Hold on babe, I’ve got you! Easy…easy…sorry, here, I’ll help you sit down.
[The speaker is in both panic and protect-mode.]
What’s wrong? What hurts?
Your ankle? Let me see. Let me see.
[The speaker inspects the injury and hisses slightly as they notice the listener wince.] I’m sorry… That’s going to be tough to walk on…
Wait, I have something…where’s the first aid kit…
Look here, I have some bandaging we can wrap around that foot. I can help you remove the shoe.
Hm? Thirsty? Sure, here… take some of my water if you like.
[Softer voice.]
Sorry, was I staring? It’s just…you’re covered in dirt, heh heh… is it alright if I brush some off of your face?
Close your eyes… There… Um, are you sure you’re okay though? Okay… okay. [Speaker takes a breath to calm down.]
Now let’s see if I can wrap this foot.
Hm? My hands are warm? Uh… yeah? [Clears throat.]
We need to get something cold on this, but uh… I have no idea where we are. Do you need to sit here for a bit before we try to move you?
Are you sure? Alright, well let’s get this shoe back on then. Gently…
[Speaker winces.]
I’m sorry, it must hurt.
Here we go, let’s try to stand you up.
Go ahead and lean on me if you need to. There you go…
Now, any idea how we get back up there?
Oh, okay well, as long as you’re sure… I’m with you. Are you sure you can manage up this hill though? It’s so steep!
Sure, take my hand… come on, up we go… up we go…You doing okay?
[They make their way up the steep, forested hillside.]
You think this way will lead us back to the trail?
Of course, I trust in you… Do you need to lean on me?
Go ahead, as much as you need to babe…I’ve got you.
I’ll even pick you up and carry you if I have to, so you just let me know. What? Why’d you look at me like that? Huh? Aren’t you…blushing?
[Speaker’s attention gets diverted.]
Oh hey, we’re back on…the trail? Right? Okay good, haha… we made it up that forsaken hill. Gawd, you had me so scared… when you fell like that… I thought I’d lost you for a minute. It was scary.
Scarier than anything out here.
[Speaker’s voice drops down to a whisper.]
Wait, do you see that, up ahead on the trail? Is that a- what is that?
A fox? Oh… it’s so… majestic, isn’t it? Is that…silver fur?
Wow…and there it goes. Does it have a family, you think? Huh…
No no, keep leaning on me, you’re good…
You know what, I’m glad I got to be with you today. I can’t imagine how bad this would have been if you had been out here all alone.
And… I wouldn’t mind coming back here with you again.
Yeah um, actually I’m not even scared right now, for real. I was more worried about you so… nothing freaks me out now. How’s that for exposure therapy? [Speaker laughs.]
Aw no, don't feel bad about that. You couldn’t have helped it, plus I think I was distracting you, so it’s my fault, really.
You just wanted to show me a good time…
I know, and it’s fine…just getting to be with you is what made my day special. It didn’t really matter what we ended up doing.
It’s just nice to get to be a little closer with you…
Really, you feel the same? Then we should try to hang out again soon, yeah? Maybe next time we can do something else, like uh… do you like video games? I have a feeling you’re going to be off this foot for a little while.
First we gotta' get you home. I’ll drive you back. We can just pick your ride back up sometime tomorrow. How does that sound? Oh look, there’s my car now. Hm?
You want me to say it again? [Chuckles.]
Say what? [The listener brings up the “babe” comments.]
Uh… wait, what? I said what?! When?
No I- I didn’t… Did I? I… but I… I’m sorry… I was just worried in the moment. I didn’t mean to say that, okay?
…Wait, now why do you look sad?
Because I said I didn’t mean to?
[Speaker groans in embarrassment and defeat.]
Fine… fine. I’ll do it. And then you won’t be sad, right? I’ll say it again… [Speaker takes a deep breath.]
Babe. There, happy? I said it…
Hm? Again? [Facepalms.] Is that what we’re really doing?
You like it that much? Babe? Is that what you want me to call you now?
Okay, I can do that…babe… baby? [Speaker is interrupted by a kiss.]
Uh…I uh… you just… Hey, hold on, where do you think you’re going?
Oh, right, oh my gawd I’m sorry!
Let’s get you off that foot… come on babe, I’ve got you. [End.]
