New York Moment: LXXII

July 2, 2008 · Leave a Comment

(ISAAC, MELANIE, CARRIE, and IAN M. are standing on the subway platform at 59th Street-Columbus Circle. A cute young guy walks by, listening to his iPod. He and ISAAC smile and wave at each other. The guy keeps walking.)

ISAAC: You guys.
MELANIE: What?
ISAAC: That was the Aloof Actor.
MELANIE: What?
IAN M.: Wait, seriously?
CARRIE: Dammit, I didn’t get a good look.

(CARRIE wanders over to casually glance down the platform, then turns and rejoins the group.)

ISAAC: Oh my god, did he see you?
CARRIE: No, he’s got his head phones on.
ISAAC: And?
CARRIE: He’s cute, but he’s wearing cowboy boots or something.
ISAAC: I can’t be held accountable for his personality.

(IAN M. and MELANIE take turns walking over and stealing a casual glance each.)

MELANIE: Oh my god, I can’t believe we saw him.
ISAAC: He’s like the Loch Ness Monster. In many, many ways.

FIN.
