MAID, TO ORDER, PART 3

SCENE:
The Mexican guy, Diego, is hanging around the house cleaning. Tom is gamely trying to make conversation, perhaps a little too eager – he’s being PC, and trying not to show that he’s uncomfortable, even though he is.

TOM: So your name is….

DIEGO (Completely not interested, concentrating on his task, not even looking at Tom as he vaccuums): Diego.

(Diego is cleaning something else now, to indicate the passage of time. He never acknowledges Tom.)

TOM: You must have a vibrant and vivid history. Where did you grow up?

DIEGO: Mexico.

(Another panel of something else. By now, Tom should be starting to look creepily stalkerish.)

TOM: Do you think President Bush’s new immigration proposals are feasible?

DIEGO (in Spanish): I’m sorry, I don’t understand you.

(Fourth and final panel. Diego is waiting for the check as Tom writes it.)

TOM (astonished): You know, for a Mexican guy, you sure are lacking in interesting stories.

DIEGO: That’ll be $75, Senor.
