The Costume Party (Dialogue)

by

fiction

- Who do I look like?

- In that get-up?

- Come on, it's for the costume party.

- Aw, man ... I don't know.

- Come on, rack your brain. Remember that the theme is “Singers and Bands” and the costumes have to be homemade. It's not a Lucullean party — no need to break the bank.

- Honestly, you just look like you, on a bad day.

- Okay, don’t say anything else. I’ll go change.

- No, wait. Tell me who you're supposed to be.

- What for? If you can't tell, what's the point?

- Come on, spill it.

- Montserrat Caballé.

- Oh, I see now. But you're too thin to look like her! I thought you were dressed as someone else.

- Who?

- Franco Battiato.

- Very funny.

- Well, either way, you're definitely getting yourself noticed tonight.

- I can't wait to see yours...

- Oh, you won’t. I’m going as a stagehand: black T-shirt, jeans ... maybe a walkie-talkie for effect.

- That's so like you...
