Script

Amy: I know I have a picture of Luis around here some-where. Oh, here it is.

Erika: wow! He’s so handsome! He looks like a Greek statue.

Amy: Yeah, he is very attractive. But I didn’t think so when I first met him.

Erika: You didn’t?

Amy: No. You know what I noticed when I first met him? He has really hairy hands.

Erika: What?

Amy: Yeah. His hands are just really hairy. Plus, his clothes were way more fashionable than I usually like. He just wasn’t my type. And on top of all that, he was shorter than me.

Erika: So how come you went out with him?

Amy: Well, he was just really sweet and funny and I was so comfortable just hanging out with him. And the first time we went out he just swept me away with his personality.

Erika: Really, how?

Amy: He was just really easy to talk to.

Erika: But still, if all those things bothered you, about his hands and all…

Amy: well, you know, none of that was important once I got to know him more. His personality and the way we got along just made it clear to me that he is “the one.”

Erika: So, when’s the big day?
