Excerpt - The Times They Are A Changin
(Lee rides an escalator from the subway to the street level. Waiting for him reading, you guessed it, her map book, is Amanda. He startles her.)
Lee: Well, how’d your little meeting with Haddy go?
Amanda: Oh it was very sad.
Lee: Sad, why?
Amanda: Did you know he has a little boy he’s never seen and that the little boy’s mother was killed in an automobile accident? It’s one of the reasons he wants to go home.
Lee: I’d say that’s a damn good reason.
Amanda: Yeah.
(Lee puts his arm around Amanda as they walk down the street.)
Lee: Well, did he tell you anything else?
Amanda: Well we’ve gotta get him outta Munich. He’s in a lot of trouble.
Lee: (Chuckles.) Yeah, I know that. Now look, we’re supposed to meet Billy and Francine, then you can belief us all at once.
Amanda: Check. Now listen Lee.
Lee: What?
Amanda: I’m very sorry about the beer that I spilled on you last night.
Lee: Aw don’t…
Amanda: I don’t think it will stain, but if it does, you know some people say that you can use beer to get a stain out? I don’t know if it’s an old wives tale…
Lee: Amanda, please wait. It’s not important.
Amanda: Right.
Lee: Now meet me at the Arkaden in two hours.
Amanda: The what?
Lee: Number 22 in your9+ map book.
Amanda: Number 22. Number 22 in two hours. Easy to remember, number 22 in two hours.
(Amanda looks for number 22 in her book as Lee leaves.)
