Fix
In the short drama script Fix, construction work is being done on Taylor’s home but isn’t up to her expectations. The contractor Stevenson talks with her. 1 woman, 1 man.
Fix
Stevenson: You can see everything that’s been done so far. Â We still need to buff and polish out these wooden floors and make final fixes to the walls but–
Taylor: And how long is it going to take to do that?
Stevenson: The floors and walls?
Taylor: Yeah.
Stevenson: To be completed?
Taylor: Finished and done.
Stevenson: ‘Bout two weeks.
Taylor: Two weeks? Â For floors and walls?
Stevenson: That’s about right.
Taylor: You’re joking, right?
Stevenson: Well—
Taylor: I told you I have my family coming in from New Zealand and this needs to be done. Â We went over this. Â I told you when I originally hired you that I needed this done by a certain time or we would wait until after my family left. You assured me and promised me it would all be done.
Stevenson: There was unexpected issues that came up.
Taylor: This is your job. Â You should know your job. Â This is what I’ve contracted you to do for me.
Stevenson: Please, lower your voice. Â There’s no need to yell at me.
Taylor: No need?! Â I haven’t seen my family in five years and this is a big trip we’ve been planning. Â You’re on the verge of ruining all our arrangements. Â I can’t keep them with me downstairs and I won’t send them all to a hotel either. Â This needs to be done!
Stevenson: I understand where you are coming from—
Taylor: Please. Â This needs to be done in a week or we’re going to have a serious problem.
Stevenson: It’s not my fault they sent the wrong pieces to begin with and—
Taylor: What about the measurements? Who screwed that up?
Stevenson: It was my guys, I know. Â I take responsibility for that.
Taylor: Listen, I don’t want to argue with you. Â You know this is important and it needs to get done. Â Can you make this happen for me? Â It’s just the walls and floors. Â All the major stuff has been done already. Â If that’s the case, leave it as it is with the holes in it. Â I don’t care at this point.
Stevenson: I can get it done for you. Â Even if not one hundred percent, I can cover things up for your family to make it look great for you.
Taylor: Just get it done so I can move on in my life. Â I have so much sh’t going on, you have no idea.
Stevenson: Want to talk to me about it?
Taylor: No, I don’t want to talk to you about it! Â I want this project completed, not rigged.
Stevenson: Okay, okay. Â I’ll get another guy on the job, speed things up for you.
Taylor: Whatever you have to do, do, I don’t care anymore. Â I want things done on time and done right. Â You have one week. Â That’s all I can give you.
Stevenson: Alright. Â I’ll do my best.
