Episode Six: "Duty Free" Main Page | Full Cast | Scenario | More Episodes | Rants & Raves Lance, Lily, Ram, and Victoria are seated at the lunch table overlooking the center courtyard. Audrey, looking rather distressed, walks toward them with a plate of overdone curly fries. Victoria: Is that all you're eating? Audrey: I know it's not healthy, alright. I feel like having fries today if that's ok with you. Victoria: Jeez. I was just asking. Lily: (to Audrey) Is something wrong? Audrey: No. It's just that I'm trying to make Chinese New Year plans and the only flights back to Rhode Island are going to put me on Taiwan Airlines. Ram: Hmm. The food *is* pretty bad. The coffee is disgusting. Stick to the standard hot tea is my advice. Victoria: I don't like taking them because of their poor service standards. Lance: (perks up) I like Taiwan Air! Their flight attendants are hot. And I hear they're "fresh" too, one of my local colleagues was telling me about that. Audrey: You guys, cut it out. I absolutely refuse to take Taiwan Air. They have had way too many accidents recently. Victoria: (completing her thought) The last time I flew Taiwan Air to Hong Kong, I swear, I couldn't get to the bathroom during the entire flight. They were constantly pushing around that stupid duty free cart. Audrey: People. I am really stressing out about this! I don't want to get stuck in Taiwan during Chinese New Years! Lance: Yeah, what's up with that? It's just a one hour flight. They must pull out that cart at least three or four times.
Lily: Come to think of it, the time I went to Thailand, the flight attendants were pretty nasty. Audrey: (gasping) What the hell is wrong with you people?! This is a very serious matter! Ram: I can see that (nods his head understandingly, then reflects for a moment). Do you ever buy anything in Duty Free? Lance: Not usually, but there was this one time I got some of that cologne. What's it called? Yeah, "Narcissist". I love that stuff. Lily: I have some of the women's version. I like it too, but I think you can get it much cheaper at Sogo. Victoria: Yeah. Duty Free is such a rip-off. Young walks toward the table holding a can of tuna and an apple. Young: Hey, guess what folks? I think I got the last non-Taiwan Airlines seat off the island for Chinese New Year. Woo hoo! (does a little tap dance) Audrey: Young, SHUT UP. (slaps him over the chest and storms off) Young: (still standing with can and apple in hand) What's wrong with Audrey? Lance: Beats me. She's afraid of flying or something. Victoria: I think she's just stressed out about the holidays.
Ram: (eyeing Audrey's curly fries) Heyyya... do you think she'll notice if I finished off her fries?
