"I ain't licking nobody's butt - that's nasty!"
A short humour story containing only dialogue. A prompt from my local writing group.
"QT, we need to talk about this script."
"Of course. Let's talk about it right now."
"I'd rather not. It's just... I don't want cause a scene and I don't want to put people of their hot dogs."
"Whatever you've got the say, say it out now!"
"There's a scene or two that's left me...speechless."
"It really is my magnum opus. It's the best thing I've ever written. I can't wait for my faily to see it."
"You'd let your family see this?"
"Now what are the scenes that left you stunned."
"There's things that I can't do in this."
"No such thing as can't, baby! I can train you to do it right. But you're a professional, I'm sure you will smash it."
"QT, you don't seem to know what I'm talking about. You don't understand, I have morals to uphold."
"Oh it's only a film. People should know the difference between fiction and reality."
"Look at where I am pointing at on these pages...do you I really need to do this?"
"Of course, it's the most important part of the film!"
"QT! I ain't licking nobody's butt - that's nasty! Who do you think I am?"
"But BB, this will be the making of your career."
"You really are out of your mind."
"Oh but it's so good. Everyone big star started by licking somebody's backside."
"I don't recall seeing Leo shoving his tongue in somewhere where the sun don't shine."
"Here, have another drink."
"Now you're trying to bribe me."
"Of course not, I just want to think. You're gonna be a millionaire."
"Do you have any idea what kind of diseases are out there?"
"I assure you, it's completly safe."
"Safe? You sound like you've done this before."
"I'm a director, actors safety is my priority. Though sometimes it does hve to be sacrafied for the sake of art."
"You call this film art? I've read the script, it's a 2 hour gay flick with bullets."
"Come on, you can do this scene. I can see it, your name is gonna written all over those Oscars."
"Can't you just hire a body double? I will the other scenes happily, but not that!"
"I need you to do the scene, BB... it needs to be authentic. You've got the charisma, you've got the timing. And it if makes you feel better, you can practise on a dummy, but it's gotta be real."
"I think I'm gonna be sick."
"Here, have some whisky, calm the nerves..."
"Make it a double, no in fact, make it a triple."
"Is there any way that I can convince you to do it?"
"I am not prepared to sell my soul for that!"
"What is that suitcase?"
"Oh this? It's just a couple of million dollars in there. All yours!"
"You're saying I get to keep all that if I lick somebody's backside?"
"Uhuh!"
"QT... let's go home!"
