Inside Rossie’ Café Camana Bay Grand Cayman
Interior day SUMMER

Katherine Lopez (Colombian) eases down her coffee cup, “Bobby, I’ve been waiting here all morning for you and you have the nerve to show up now! It’s four thirty! You are flippin’ late! Hours late”

Bobby Giuseppe (Flamboyant Italian), “Time to get a new watch sweetheart. I had to stop and wait at Joe’s Gas station first, puff a few cigarettes before collecting the two hundred grand I promised you.”

Katherine eyes blazed open, shocked but excited, “What! Two hundred grand? Oooh Bobby, did you get it? I love you so much…”

Bobby, “What do ya think Princess? Hummm… maybe I should call you egg head, joker or woman ‘Living in La-La land’? There is no freakin’ two hundred thousand dollars!”

Katherine, “Bobby, once again, you be disrespecting me in fronna the kids, damn it! You don’t…. Where’s the two hundred bucks you promised me from last week?”

Bobby puffed a cigarette with an attitude, “Didn’t you just asked for two hundred grand? Do I look stupid? Is money written across my chest and my forehead? Yea…I got your two hundred dollars. Yes two hundred bucks for sitting on your fat behind for an hour waiting in this place drinking Colombian coffee and wondering if I’m gonna show up on time!”

Katherine got up fuming, “Kiss my big rump Bobby, you don’t have to insult me like this any mo’…. You know whot? Want me to tell ya something? I’m leaving you, you worthless piece of…you know what! Keep your two hundred dollars and stuff it where you can’t see clearly in English or Spanish! Take your pick Bobby…”

Katherine tugged the two kids by the arms and started to storm off with them.

Bobby snatched her firmly by her arm, “I wouldn’t even dignify that with an answer. Where the heck do you think you’re going? You are becoming a real pain in the neck. You ain’t going anywhere, so siddown!!”

Two English cops in uniformed entered the Café. The shorter of the two asked Bobby, “Hey….What seems to be the problem?”

Bobby blowing cigarette smoke like a chimney, “Me and pumpkin here was having a little discussion, know what I mean? She got excited, ahead of herself but we cool now. Tempers flared up, a little excitement for nothing, she’s a little jealous so we kiss and make up, cappish, Policia? She thinks I’m banging the baby sitter, that’s all.”

The short cop, “Well, are ya?”

Bobby appears confused, “Am I…aaah! Am I whot?”

Short cop, “Banging the sitter…?”

Bobby points at Katherine, “Ask her. She’s the sitter. No…no, no, nothing like that. I’m just messing with you guys. No one is banging anybody…..at least not that I am aware of.”

Taller cop, “Bobby, now don’t start any trouble here cause as you know, we have a free space at the cells ready for ya. Free food, shower, lodging and everything.”

Bobby Giuseppe shook his head.

Taller cop turns to Katherine, “Lady, are you OK? Did he hit you?”

Katherine sobbing, “I’m… I’m OK. He is just too damn disrespectful and needs to learn to conduct and control himself, especially in front of the kids. He’s a darn pig, a bully woman beater and at times he is just this stupid monster! Disgusting PIG!”

Bobby interrupted, “Watch your language with the word ‘Pig’ around these fine Officers. Guys, I didn’t hit her.”

Bobby turns to Katherine, “Why don’t you tell the good Officers here that….”

Suddenly, there was a loud bang. Two vehicles collided and the officers rushed outside followed by a dozen patrons from inside the café.
