cimorene: cartoony drawing of a woman's head in profile giving dubious side-eye (mischief)
[personal profile] cimorene
my homework was to write a follow-up phone conversation for "lust och längtan" following certain guidelines. believe me, if it were me, even coffee!gary and tim wouldn't be clueless enough to hang up without making another date.


[Telefonen ringer hos Gary. Han svarar.]

Gary: Gary.

Tim: Hejsan. Det är Tim Roth.

Gary: Hejsan! Tim! Hur har du det? Det var roligt att du ringde.

[Gary tänker: Det var mycket roligt att han ringde. Vi pratade ju bara om kaffet förra gången. Men kanske han ännu tyckte om mig!]

[Tim tänker: Det är bra att han vet vem jag är. Men han låter lite överraskad. Kanske det var för djärv att jag ringde så tidigt!]

Tim: Tack, jag har det ganska bra.

Gary: Tack för senast.

Tim: Nåja, det var trevligt. Men inte trevligt att jag inte hade någon mat att ge dig! Kaffe går ju bäst med litet att mumsa på.

[Tim tänker: Kanske det var trevligt att jag inte hade någonting att bjuda på! Nu har jag orsaker att bjuda honom på kaffe igen.]

Gary: Det var ingenting. I alla fall tyckte jag om kaffet. Du brygger en väldigt gott kopp kaffe. Behövde inte mera.

[Gary tänker: Mat spelade ingen roll. Jag behövde ingen mera än hans sällskap.]

Tim: Men mera har jag. Inte bara kaffe. Jag ville inte ha kaffe utan mat! Nu har jag bullar också. Och jag har just köpt ett stort paket colombianskt kaffe.

[Tim tänker: Kanske jag behöver inte säga det rakt ännu... om han hade något intresse skulle han ju visa det.]

[Gary tänker: Tänker han bjuda mig igen? Kanske jag borde säga något, att jag skulle vilja prova några bullar med kaffe... .]

Gary: Aaa, det var bra. Colombianskt kaffe är mycket bra. Men inte lätt att hitta någonstans, eller hur?

[Gary tänker: Nej. Jag skulle bara göra bort mig.]

[Tim tänker: Men kanske han vill inte komma.]

Tim: Ja, men jag gillar det här kaffet så mycket. Jag brukar köpa det i Stockholm.

[Gary tänker: Kanske han vill inte att jag kommer.]

Gary: Nåja, mycket mera kan man köpa där.

[Tim tänker: Jag borde bara säga det. För jag kan inte ringa igen, om han inte ringer till mig. Men om det är bara att han är inte intresserad av mig.]

Tim: Jag tycker om att gå dit. Det finns så mycket att välja på.

[Gary tänker: Han vill inte att jag kommer. Han är bara vänlig--en riktigt snäll människa.]

Gary: Tack för att du ringde, det var mycket roligt.

[Tim tänker: Han vill bara inte vara oartig; han trottnar av att prata med mig. En så snäll människa! Varför kunde han inte tycka om mig?]

[Han tänker: Han skulle förstås inte tycka om mig.]

Tim: Ja, det var roligt att prata med dig! Hej då! Vi ses!

[Tim tänker: Hoppas att vi ses... .]

[Gary tänker: Hoppas det! Och jag undrar om hon kanske hoppas det... ?]

Gary: Hej, då!


[Gary's phone rings. He answers.]

Gary: H'lo?

Tim: Hi, Gary--it's Tim.

Gary: Hi! Tim! How's it going? Great to hear from you!

Gary's brain: He called! Even though i talked about nothing but coffee like an idiot. But maybe he somehow still liked me?

Tim's brain: He knew who i was right away! But he sounded surprised. Maybe I shouldn't have called so soon.

Tim: Oh, everything's pretty good.

Gary: Hey, thanks for the coffee.

Tim: No big deal, it was fun except for the part when I didn't have any food in the house. Coffee usually goes best with something to snack on.

Tim's brain: Maybe it was just as well I didn't have any food... now I have reason to invite him back.

Gary: Didn't make a difference to me. I enjoyed the coffee regardless--you brew a truly great cup of coffee, my friend. It didn't need anything else.

Gary's brain: Like I cared about the coffee or food anyway. It was all about his company.

Tim: Well, I have something else anyway. I can't speak for anyone else, but *I* don't want coffee with nothing to eat! I have pastries too now. And I've just bought a big packet of Columbian coffee beans...

Tim's brain: Maybe I don't have to say it straight out yet... if he was interested, surely he'd show it somehow.

Gary's brain: Is he going to ask me back? Maybe I should say something--pastries and coffee sound good or...

Gary: Oh, nice. Columbian coffee is VERY good. But not so easy to find, hmmm?

Gary's brain: ...nah, I'd just make a fool of myself!

Tim's brain: Maybe he doesn't want to come.

Tim: Yeah, but I love this particular variety, man, I'd order it from South America if I had to. I generally just buy it when I'm in NYC.

Gary's brain: Maybe he *doesn't* want me to come.

Gary: Oh yeah, you can get a lot of things there.

Tim's brain: I should just say it. I can't call again if he doesn't call me. But what if he's just not interested?

Tim: I like going there--there's so much variety to choose from.

Gary's brain: He's not trying to invite me over. He's just being friendly--a a really nice guy.

Gary: Yeah... man, thanks for calling, really. It was great that you called.

Tim's brain: He just doesn't want to be impolite. He's tired of talking to me. He's so--nice! *Why* couldn't he have liked me?

Gary's brain: OF COURSE he wouldn't like me.

Tim: Yeah, it was great talking to you. See you!

Tim's brain: I hope I do.

Gary's brain: I hope so. I wonder if maybe he really hopes too...?

Gary: Bye!
