MANNY- “What is she doing here?”

DEB- Who, what? Listen Manny I am trying to concentrate here.”

MANNY “Okay, I need to take care of something anyway.”

MANNY- “What are you doing here, Yaz, you know your momma said if you were caught over here with me again, she would have me arrested.”

YASMIN- “Manny, for what? What is my mother going to have you arrested for, flirting with me? We never even kissed, Manny. Arrest? Not gonna happen, and I ain’t here to see you anyway, so get over yourself.”

MANNY- “So what are you here for?”

YASMIN- “Her. Who is she?”

MANNY- “Her name is Deb, she lives in #1″

YASMIN- “Lives here? Manny this is a motel, not a damn apartment complex, people STAY here, they don’t live here. So she stayed in #1? Did that dude kill himself in there the other night?”

MANNY- “Hey, listen don’t freak her out, she is a paying customer and she already went to the Hotel to find a room.”

YASMIN- “Hey Deb, I am Yasmin Cisneros, I live down the street. So Manny here says you were looking for a place to live. You really can’t stay here, Okay this place is shit, Deb, and for losers. You do not look like a loser to me. Can we talk?”

“Seriously girl...I mean Deb, I wouldn’t go in there! There still may be some spirits in there of the deceased.”

“I am sure they wouldn’t mind having a little company. What is your name by the way?

“I’m Manny, Emmanuel really, but I go by Manny. So why you wanna know my name.”

“I told you mine, that is the neighborly thing to do. You do live here, right?”

“Oh no, I work for Cyrus, I clean the rooms and maintenance. So you want to go on a date?”

MANNY- “So Deb, whatcha doin?”

DEBRA- “What’s it look like I am doing Manny?”

MANNY- “Paintin’ Looks like you are paintin’. So what are paintin?”

DEBRA- “Nothing in particular, just a random picture in my head. And it takes a lot of concentration to get it from in here to out here on this canvas, so if you could move along, Please.

MANNY- “Maybe I could help ya, Deb?”

“Can I tell you how much this guy annoys me? Seriously! I want to just look at him and say GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY FACE. But, I am too nice for that. It would probably make him cry too. Then I would feel bad!”
