The scene: Barnes & Nobles in Tampa, Florida.
The actors: Beth (that's me) and Lex (that's the salesgirl who befriend me over mutual adoration of Rent and Broadway in general)
Beth: *whimper*
Lex: What's wrong?
Beth: No Rent soundtrack.
Lex: *points up where it is staring Beth in the face* Look up.
Beth: SQUEE! *gasp as she tries not to cry because she ios an emotional geek on her period*
Lex: We have Angel, Mimi, you can't have Tom, he's mine.
Beth: Joanne? I wanted to show Tracie some love.
Lex: Never got one.
Beth: *is crushed* Mark?
Lex: No. And we sold Roger yesterday.
Beth: Dammit! *sighs*
Lex: We have Maureen.
Beth: My friend has her. I wanted Joanne or Mark. But...*snatches one off the shelf* I'll take Mimi. She lives in my head anyway. might as well, she's so gorgeous though.
Lex: Yeah...
*both stare dreamily at Rosario's sexiness*
Beth: Well, Alex is gonna get Maureen, Evie's getting Mark. Aubrey has Roger; I guess I should stick with my beloved character.
Lex: I understood only three names in that whole sentence and they were all the fictional people.
*bows and Angel comes running out onstage, the applause is thunderous* =8->

5. "The best moments in reading are when you come across something - a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things - which you had thought special and particular to you. And now, here it is, set down by someone else, a person you have never met, someone even who is long dead. And it is as if a hand has come out, and taken yours." -The History Boys
6. "Pass the parcel. That's sometimes all you can do. Take it, feel it and pass it on. Not for me, not for you, but for someone, somewhere, one day. Pass it on, boys. That's the game I want you to learn. Pass it on." -The History Boys
