The Mint Juleps Trilogy is a play by Nick Zagone.But he's probably sick of them by now. Like he's sick of me. Bugging him. Some alcoholic chick bugging him giving him Nirvana CDs. He said he was going to be here. Just stay in the car another ten minutes. All the people that are at this party? Oh for God's sake girl cheer up! Ya know, that's good to do that. Look, if Robert isn't here tonight I'm going to be devastated okay? He likes me. But a Mint Julep though, that's weird. Look who's coming, look at those earrings, what's up with those and of course she's wearing that Tommy Tube-top. You should tell them to play it longer. She said she wasn't going to talk tonight. She was just talking just a second ago anyway! I'm going to follow him around all night. You aren't going out with him or anything. He started that with me. He does that all the time. You showed him the hand and now he's moved on it seems. See, women like men who are tight with a buck. They say they like a man who buys them diamonds, but deep down Darwinism takes over, and lurking under each and every party girl is the churning hormones of a woman searching for the proper mate. The ultimate cave dweller to raise her offspring, to take care of her, to buy her a fitting cave, to fight off the threatening dinosaurs of a poor economy. The radar is set, and suddenly they become pulled like a magnet to Tom here. Conservative, tight, balances his checkbook during a party. Inherently in a woman's hormones, they know that Tom may be a bit slow, BUT he will provide! That's who we're talking about here, you're in debt for college. You woo them with flowers, take them out to dinner? Now the hard to get thing?- that don't work either. Pen fights, water fights, paperclip fights, sometimes we'd just fight. And she'd hit me. We'd wrestle.[1][2]
