JEFF
Is my handwriting messy?
Sophie glances over at a notepad with Jeff’s writing on it.
JEFF
Daphne said my handwriting’s messy. I don’t think it’s messy. Small – but it’s not messy. At least I don’t write in swirls and flourishes –
SOPHIE
Write your name.
Jeff writes his name, hands the notepad to Sophie.
SOPHIE
I have no idea what this says.
JEFF
Oh c’mon –
She takes his pen and writes: JEFF ROBINSON in large, readable, block letters.
SOPHIE
That’s what your signature looks like to you.
She writes a long squiggly line – that is clearly nothing but a long squiggly line.
SOPHIE
That’s your signature to everyone else.
Jeff takes back the notepad. A WAITER brings more coffee.
