A Moment of Silence

Orlando Bloom: “So, Reese, I hope you’re okay with me getting married?”
Reese: [silence]
Orlando: “I know you said that the day I marry someone who is not you is the day you die, but I love Kate and I can’t not marry her.”
Reese: [silence]
Orlando: “Reese? Reese?”
Reese: [silence]
Orlando: “Reese, are you okay?!?! Please, don’t have a heart attack, Reese! Please, don’t die!!!”
Reese: [sighing]
Orlando: “Oh, you’re still alive!!!! Oh, thank god!!”
Reese: “You know, Orlando, I’m okay with this.”
Orlando: “With what? Me being in your presence standing next to you in all my awesome, gorgeous glory?”
Reese: “No, I mean you and Kate getting married. I’m okay with it.”
Orlando: “Oh. My. God. Reese is DEAD!!!! SHE’S BEEN REPLACED BY AN ALIEN!!!!”
Reese: “I am not an alien, Orlando!!! I’m just okay with it.”
Orlando: [silence]
Reese: “You’re looking at me funny.”
Orlando: “Are you about to kill me?”
Reese: “No!”
Orlando: “You’re not going to stab me in the back when I turn around?”
Reese: “No! Look, Kate is still a be-otch for stealing you away for me, but, eh…I think I’m over it. Good luck to you two.”
Orlando: “WAIT, WAIT, WAIT!!! YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO BE TORN UP ABOUT THIS!! YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO GRAB ME BY THE ANKLES AND BEG ME TO MARRY YOU AND THEN KIDNAPP ME AND FORCE ME TO MARRY YOU!!!”
Reese: “Hmmm??? That does sound like something I would do…”
Orlando: “What gives!?!?!?!”
Reese: “Eh, I don’t know? Just not that broken up about it.”
Orlando: “It’s him, isn’t it?”
Reese: “OH, MY GOD!!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?!?! NOT EVERYTHING IS HIM!!!!”
Orlando: “Where is the b@stard who stole my psycho stalker?!?! I’ll kill him!!!”
Reese: “Orlando, please, get a hold of yourself!!”
Orlando: “No, you get a hold of yourself!!! You’re the one who isn’t acting normal!!!”
Reese: “Look, the thing is, I think I’ve outgrown you.”
Orlando: “Outgrown me? In a month’s time?!?! You just wrote about me 3 weeks ago!!!!”
Reese: “Yes, but that was me just holding onto past obsessions. I like lot’s of boys now.”
Orlando: “Like who?!?!”
Reese: “Well, there’s him. And Aaron McGruder because he gave me The Boondocks in cartoon form, and Kanye West ever since he declared that George Bush hates Black people…”
Orlando: “You mean, I’ve been replaced?!?!”
Reese: “Oh…yeah….sorry, man. But, hey, you’re going to get married!!! Happy Engagement Day, man!!!”
Orlando: “Yea…I guess so…”
Reese: “Orlando, are you okay?”
Orlando [crying]: “I’m going to miss your stalker tendencies, Reese!!! I love you, you know?!?!!”
Reese: “Yea, I know. But, there’s Kate…”
Orlando: “Screw, Kate!!! I want you, back!!!”
Reese: “Oh, I’m sorry Orlando. But, I’ve moved on. Hey, you’ll be okay. You’re still hot, right?”
Orlando: “Yea, I am hot.”
Reese: “See, there’s always a silver lining.”
Orlando: “Yea, I guess…”
Reese [in condescending, baby speak]: “Noowww, what do you say we got get some ice cream and turn that frown upside dooowwwnnnn?”
Orlando [resumes crying like a little girl]: “NOOOOO, I can’t do it!!!! I can never see you again!!!!”
Reese: “Orlando?!?”
Orlando [still crying]: “It hurts!!!! It just hurts so much!!!!!!!”
