Bring A Smile To Your Face ( Archived) (3)

Vicki, an unhappy rich woman, sits impatiently on a bus stop bench.
Mike, a homeless man, sits down next to her with a big smile on his face.
Vicki: What are you smiling for?
Mike: It's what I do.
Vicki: I won't ask.
Mike: I sell smiles for a living.
Vicki: I'm not interested.
Mike: Here, have a free one - on me. (He smiles at her.)
Vicki: No thank you.
Mike: Sorry, can't take it back. You'll have to give it to someone else.
Vicki: What?
Mike: The smile. You'll have to give it away if you don't want it. Or sell
it if you like - apparently it hasn't been used much.
Vicki: What do you mean by that?
Mike: You don't smile very often, do you?
Vicki: So what if I don't?
Mike: Shouldn't waste your smile...there's plenty of people who could use one.
Vicki: Well they can have mine.
Mike: Your what?
Vicki: My smile.
Mike: I don't see one.
Vicki: I thought you just gave me one.
Mike: I tried, but it didn't stick. I think it bounced right off.
Vicki: Fine. What's there to smile about anyway?
Mike: Well--
Vicki: You don't have to answer that.
Mike: There's lots of things to smile about. It's a beautiful day outside;
the buses are running on time--
Vicki: I don't want to hear about it.
Mike: --and look at that flower over there, now that would make anybody
smile--
Vicki: Would you leave me alone!

(a long moment of silence. Finally, she gives in.)

Vicki: So what's the going rate on smiles these days?
Mike: Pardon me?
Vicki: Your smiles...how much are they?
Mike: Oh, they're very expensive.
Vicki: So's my taste.
Mike: You probably couldn't afford one.
Vicki: Try me.
Mike: I'm warning...it'll cost you.
Vicki: Yes, I know, HOW MUCH?
Mike: One smile.
Vicki: One smile?
Mike: That's how much they cost.
Vicki: What?
Mike: The price for a smile is exactly one smile. That's the going rate.
(She thinks about it)
Vicki: Alright. (smiles) I'll take one.
Mike: It was a pleasure doing business with you. (he leaves)

(Daisy, a streetwalker, sits down next to her.)

DAISY: What's with the smile?
Vicki: I sell smiles for a living.
