How to choose which boyfriend to dump

Narrator:

One sunny day, two girls are chatting under a big tree. One of them looks troubled as she has a relationship problem.

Cheng Yi sighs.

Ming Thing: Why are you sighing?

Cheng Yi sighs again.

Ming Thing: Why are you sighing again?

Cheng Yi sighs again.

Ming Thing: Why are you sighing again and again? Hmm…Let me guess. You must been worrying about spending Valentine’s Day alone, right? “Hakuna Matata”, don’t worry, we are in the same boat.

Cheng Yi: Stop making wild guesses!

Ming Thing: So what is the reason causing you to sigh again and again?

Cheng Yi: I have two boyfriends. Both of them treat me very good. It is difficult to choose between both of them. Most important is, both of them are good looking and RICH!!

Cheng Yi sighs.

Cheng Yi: Why am I so unlucky to have to choose between both of them?

Ming Thing: Huh? Do you know that…YOU ARE LUCKY! I am still single, can you give me one?

Cheng Yi: Sure. But I don’t know how to choose.

Ming Thing: So easy. Let me teach you. First, use the easiest method, even a child knows how to do it.

Ming Thing gives signal to Cheng Yi.

Cheng Yi: Oh!

Cheng Yi turns to face Shi Yee and Wei Seen with a serious face.

Cheng Yi: (with a cruel and evil tone) I want two of you to have a battle. The winner will be my boyfriend.

Shi Yee and Wei Seen face each other with a boxer pose.

Shi Yee: Come on, fight like a man, shortee!

Wei Seen: Don’t belittle me! Let’s see what you’ve got!

Shi Yee and Wei Seen: Scissors, paper, stone!

Shi Yee and Wei Seen keep drawing. No winner in this game.

Cheng Yi sighs. She continues her conversation with Ming Thing. Shi Yee and Wei Seen freeze.

Cheng Yi: It does not work at all! By the way, I can’t decide my boyfriend with scissors, paper, stone! The winner may not a guarantee to reach my target.

Ming Thing: Target?

Cheng Yi: Yup. (ambitious tone) My target is to become the richest woman in the world. To achieve the goal, I need to marry a rich husband. (evil tone) I will control his money and expenses. If he makes me angry, I will cut his allowance, make him work double or triple shift…

Ming Thing: I wondered who that unlucky guy is.

Cheng Yi: (so intoxicated in her fantasies) Pardon?

Ming Thing: Nothing. Just helping you to think another way out.

Ming Thing thinks. She screams as she thinks another idea.

Ming Thing: Let both of them sing a love song to you. Love song is a way to express your love in a more touching and rhythmic way. Like the one we always watch in drama and film.

Cheng Yi: Is there any relation?

Ming Thing: Of course! You see, the one who touches your heart with his singing indicates he is the one who loves you most. He will be a devoted husband.

Cheng Yi turns to face Shi Yee and Wei Seen. Shi Yee and Wei Seen unfreeze.

Cheng Yi: Can you sing a love song to me?

Shi Yee: Of course. I sing first.

Wei Seen: You are a terrible singer! Don’t make people uncomfortable with your unbearable voice!

Shi Yee: You are no better than me anyway!

Wei Seen: At least I’ve been to singing classes.

Wei Seen stands with a tenor pose.

Wei Seen: (reciting a poem) Nothing’s gonna change my love for you, you oughta know by now how much I Love You…

Shi Yee burst into laughter.

Shi Yee: You are wasting your money attending the singing classes! That is what you called singing? That is reciting! Watch me. I will sing a hundred thousand times better than you.

Shi Yee clears throat.

Shi Yee: (singing out of tune) Everyday, of our lives, wanna find you there, wanna hold on tight.

Cheng Yi: Stop.

Cheng Yi continues her conversation. Shi Yee and Wei Seen freeze.

Cheng Yi: No use. Both of them sing well.

Ming Thing: Huh? That is “well”? I thought it is fantastic! Amazing! Ok, I will think of another way. Don’t give up. Where there is a will, there is a way.

Ming Thing thinks hard. When she screams as she thinks another way, Cheng Yi shocks and backs off. When Cheng Yi turns back, the conversation continues.

Ming Thing: I am using my last resort. Ask them what they will give you if you marry one of them. The one with the answer who satisfies you the most will be your boyfriend.

Cheng Yi: What if I’m dissatisfied with their answer?

Ming Thing: Find a new one.

Cheng Yi: Ok!

Cheng Yi turns to face Shi Yee and Wei Seen.

Cheng Yi: What will you give me if I marry one of you?

Shi Yee: (with confidence) Every month, I will give you RM1.0…

Cheng Yi: What? One ringgit only? How dare you!

Wei Seen: Oh my god! Such a miser you are.

Shi Yee: I am not finished yet. RM1.0 10⁵

Cheng Yi: (choking) That much?? Hmm…How about you? (turns to Wei Seen)

Wei Seen: (In a flamboyant style) I will give you my whole life. I will use the time in my whole life to prove to you how much I love you. You can’t find another person who loves you as much as me. My heart can accommodate no other apart from you and I know this it is going to be for the rest of my life.

Cheng Yi: (delighted) Really?

Wei Seen: Yes, my love. (blew a kiss) (reciting poem again) Fate had intertwined us together.

Cheng Yi thinks such a long time.

Ming Thing: Time to decide.

Shi Yee looks disappointed while Wei Seen is full of confidence.

Cheng Yi: I choose you. (turns to Shi Yee)

Wei Seen: (shock) What? But…I am better than him!

Shi Yee: Hahaha…

Shi Yee and Cheng Yi go together with their hands hold.

Ming Thing: Such a poor guy. He will be despair after knowing her plan to become the richest woman in the world.

Ming Thing turns to Wei Seen.

Ming Thing: (bends her arm round Wei Seen’s shoulder) I am still single. You have been dump. How about becoming my boyfriend? I will treat you well.

Wei Seen changes from dismay to happy.

Ming Thing and Wei Seen go out from the scene.
