Theme: Transfer one line of dialogue to another character.
"There's just so much to work through. Trust has to build again, on both sides...you have to learn if... if we're even the same people we were, if you can fit in each other's lives, it's a long and important process and ... can we just skip it? Can you... can you just be kissing me now?"
Welsey stifled a guffaw at her wooden line reading, put down the script and wiped his glasses.
"Laugh all you want monkeyboy", Cordelia huffed, "I have to get this down. You're not helping."
"One must admit, the dialogue is a bit trite and saccharine."
"I think it's kind of romantic, and sweet."
"You would, Romeo-Brood. But really? What's that about? Lonely-boy wish-fulfillment?"
"I think a woman wrote this."
"Whatever, Angel. No real self-respecting woman talks this way unless she's under one of those stupid Xander Harris love spells."
Wesley snickered. "Our Cordelia. Such a romantic."
"Like I want you to kiss me, anyway!"
A.N.1:
a drabble for LiveJournal's sunday100.
A.N.2: The italicized line was spoken by Tara in BtVS 6.18, "Entropy".
