Two friends in a pub.
– Who is she then?
— What are you talking about?
– The girl?
— What girl?
– You’ve been checking your phone every two minutes all night. That means there’s a girl.
— No I haven’t.
– Mate.
— Fine. But it doesn’t necessarily mean there’s a girl.
– Sure.
— I could be checking that I haven’t heard from work, or the doctors, or my mum.
– Right.
Phone beeps
They look at it, then at each other, then back at the phone.
– You gonna check that then?
— Maybe later.
– Okay.
Pause
— Reaches out and grabs phone to check it.
– You smile like that when your mom texts you? Dude that some Oedipus shit right there.
— Shut up.
