Let's Just Chill

Monologue for a young woman
TAZ
 
Rough day, huh?
Tell me about it.
Or not.
We could just chill.
I’d quite like to just chill.
Let’s just chill.
 
This is great.
You’re a true friend.
Undemanding.
Not like those clingy types.
You know the ones I mean.
Always on at you.
For emotional support or whatever.
No, thanks.
I gave at the office.
 
Sometimes I think I’m not cut out to be a life coach.
The job’s hardly like…
Fulfilling.
Doesn’t nourish my soul.
I should try something else.
Explore my options. 
 
It’s not like I can seek professional guidance.
One. That would be giving work to my competitors.
And two. They’d laugh at me.
Not very professional.
Still.
That’s people for you.
Personally, I can have too much of ’em.
 
Not you.
You’re cool.
Never burden me with your problems.
I can’t tell you how much I appreciate that.
 
Isn’t this great?
Just relaxing together.
Enjoying each other’s company.
With no hassles.
No whining.
 
Today was a doozy.
There was this one guy…
Oops.
Client confidentiality shit.
 
Let’s just chill.
 
Man, he was a riot, though.
