Zavi, Guy, Guy’s girlfriend
Location
A gas station, down town St. Louis
Scene
I’m filling up my car with gas as this guy, who’s been just standing around, walks up to me …
Guy
Hey man!
Zavi
What’s up?
Guy
Listen man my wife’s pregnant and …
[I interrupt him]
Zavi
Is it mine?
Guy
What?
Zavi
Is — it —MINE? … The kid??
[guy looks at me surprised]
Guy
What’cha tryin’ to say man?
Zavi
I’m trying to say … was it me who knocked up your girl?
[The guy is getting somewhat pissed but obviously trying to keep his composure]
Guy
No man, she’s my baby-mamma. All I wanna ask you, is you got a dollar?
Zavi
Wait, so is it mine?
Guy (gets snappy)
No man!
Zavi
Well then why the f*** am I supposed to pay for it?
Guy’s girlfriend
Come on babe, quit botherin’ the man. He ain’t gonna give us nothing.
With that they walked off toward the gas station. It should be mentioned that I filled up at that gas station a week or so back and it was the same guy and his g/f asking people for money. I gave him a dollar back then, just because I thought his bit was pretty original. That day, however, I was having a bad day … and the bit was no longer original or funny.
