Play 2: Their last dance

CAST OF CHARACTERS:

Milly
A nineteen year old girl, who is going to college for psychology. She is loyal, but also scared of being hurt or rushing into things. She's not exactly poor but she's by no means rich either.

Julian
A twenty year old man, who most likely has undiagnosed mental issues. He is quite rich and entitled, he never got love from his parents so he doesn't know how to show it to others. When it comes to others the dude self
He's Milly's boyfriend of 6 months.

Waiter
Just your average broke college student trying to make some money to survive. Secretly he hates rich people and their stuck up ways but nothing he can really do about it. He just acts like a super polite robot, one of these days he's going to snap.

Setting:
A fancy restaurant that only rich people could ever hope to afford. Julian is sat at a table near the front of the restaurant just under a chandelier

At Rise: Milly is rushing into the restaurant, showing up 15 or so minutes late. Julian is just sitting at the table waiting for her

(Milly's panting trying to catch her breath as she sits down)

Milly
I'm so sorry I'm late! The lecture ran long,
God I'm such a mess.

Julian
I wouldn't say you're a mess, you look stunning.

Milly
Thanks, you don't look so bad yourself!
(looks around amazed)
I appreciate you not sparing any expense but what's the occasion?

(Julian looks around nervously)
Julian
Look I know we haven't been going out long... but I really do love you...

(Milly unintentionally cuts him off)

Milly
Is that all silly? You know I love you too right?

Julian
Yeah I know but I wasn't finished Milly

Milly
Oh I'm sorry... is everything okay?

Julian
Yeah of course, I'm here with you after all. How about we just order, I'm starving!

Milly
Yeah great idea, you're not off the hook though.
You're going to tell me what's bothering you.

Julian
I have no clue what you mean,
I'm perfectly fine

(Milly rolls her eyes)

Milly
You know I'm studying Psychology right? My grades may not be the best, but I can tell when someone is nervous

Waiter
Good evening, I hope everything is to your liking. What will it be tonight? I recommend the coffee Caviar, it's quite popular recently.

Julian
Very well, I'll have bird's nest soup and coffee caviar.
Oh and whatever your most expensive wine is. How about you Milly, what would you like?

Milly
I would like a medium rare steak, with a Caesar salad please.

(The waiter walks off)

Julian
That's kind of a weird order, are you sure you don't want anything else?

(Milly is speaking in an annoyed tone)

Milly
Don't you think that's a bit hypocritical? Considering you ordered soup made out of a bird's nest and coffee flavored fish eggs. Hell would you like some gold with that?

Julian
No, I only eat gold on rare occasions... between you and me that stuff tastes terrible. God, I would sooner date somebody so broke that they need a scholarship than eat that stuff again.
