Friends Like These: Fivesome

The Argument

The following weekend Gulf goes to the club and requests for a sign up contract to become a member.

Server: (looks at him, remembers him) "Please come this way." (directs Gulf to the waiting room with some papers) "Please read these terms and conditions while we print the contract."

Gulf: "Ok."

Server: (goes to Mew's office)

Mew: (not looking up) "Is it urgent?"

Server: "It is sir."

Mew: (lazy tone) "Go ahead."

Server: "The client that you served wants to sign up as a member."

Mew: (swiftly looks up) "What?"

Server: "He is here in the waiting room. What should I do?"

Mew: "We don't have anyone who can handle him. Turn him down."

Server: "But sir you did it last time."

Mew: (looks at the server) "You want me to start servicing clients now?"

Server: "What if he starts some rumors?"

Mew: "Let me talk to him."

5 minutes later

Gulf: (comes in, sees Mew get shy)

Mew: "Please take a seat."

Gulf: "Thank you."

Mew: "I'll go straight to the point. There's no one who can service you I'm sure you already know."

Gulf: (disappointed) "Are you not a person?"

Mew: "I'm not a server."

Gulf: "Yet you serviced me."

Mew: "I had no choice."

Gulf: (tilts his head with a pointed look) "Twice."

Mew: "I'm the CEO of the establishment."

Gulf: (frowning) "So what?"

Mew: "I have other things to take care of."

Gulf: "Than service a desperate client?"

Mew: "Are you desperate?"

Gulf: (now in a heated argument) "Isn't that why you came to my rescue? Because you saw my desperation?"

Mew: "Any CEO would have done the same in that situation."

Gulf: "The situation is still going on, I'm still desperate, you still have to keep on doing what any other CEO would do."

Mew: "You're not making sense."

Gulf: (angry but calm) "Are you turning me away?"

Mew: "I can't provide you these services on a regular basis. I just wanted you to realize that there is nothing wrong with you and you just have to meet the right person."

Gulf: (scoffs in disbelief) "Are you right now telling me to sleep with a bunch of people to find the right person?"

Mew: (offensive) "I'm sure you've done that already."

Gulf: (Offended and hurt. Gets up and leaves.)
