Thirty Minutes Later
FRIEND:
Still staring at her?
GUY:
Yes. And just so you know, she's been staring back.
FRIEND:
Really? Have you talked to her yet?
GUY:
Not yet. I'm really shy.
FRIEND:
What? Ask her to dance with you!
GUY:
Huh? I can't do that!
FRIEND:
Why not? It's a wedding! Oh look, some guys are talking to her. You're really slow, you know that?
GUY:
Okay, I'll talk to her. But I'll wait for that other guy to go away.

GUY:
Hi.
HELEN OF TROY:
Hi.
GUY:
Um, are you a friend of the bride or the groom?
HELEN OF TROY:
(in a sexy French accent) Actually, the groom's cousin is our auntie. So the groom is like our uncle.
GUY:
Oh okay. Wait, the groom is kinda like your uncle? How old are you?
HELEN OF TROY:
Oh, I'm seventeen.
