The Serious Writers Group

Serious.  We did serious writing.  Would you like to see?

Prompt:  Write a scene in dialogue of someone accusing another of being crazy and the other denying it.

“Are you crazy?”
“Easy.”
“You can’t take the corner that fast!”
“Hold on.”
“They’re still behind us.”
“I know.”
“Do you know where you’re going?”
“Kind of.  Mostly away from them.”
“What kind of get away driver are you?”
“The kind you hired.  Cheap.”
“Oh, shit.  Oh, shit, Oh, shit. Oh, shit.”
“We’re good.”
“That’s a red light.”
“I know.”
“There’s traffic.”
“I know.”
“OH MY GOD!  AAAAAAHHHHH!”
“No problem.  Are they still behind us?”
“Hang on. I have to remember how to breathe first.”
“Let’s get on the freeway.”
“No.  No, don’t.  We’ll get stuck in traffic.”
“No, we won’t.”
“We lost one of them.  The other’s still coming.”
“I don’t hear them.”
“I don’t think the siren’s on.”
“That’s not a good sign.”
“Why?”
“I don’t know.  It’s just not a good sign.  Hang on.”
“Watch out for that ditch!”
“It’s not that bad.  We made it across the median.”
“Yeah, without our back bummer.  They’ll be able to make us for sure.”
“If they catch it.”
“Woah.  Watch out.  Look out!  Yikes!”
“Okay, freeway was a bad idea.  Let’s get off.”
“Let me out.”
“Do you want to get caught?”
“Yes.  The money we pulled from the bank isn’t worth this risk.”
“The cops think so.”
“Well, that’s their job.”
“Hang on!”
“Are you nuts?  We won’t fit through there.”
“Yes, we will.”
“No, no, we won’t.  Slow down.  Turn around. Stop!  Stop the car!”
“No, watch.”
“I’m not watching.  I’m covering my eyes.”
“Chicken.”
“Is it over yet?”
“Yes.  And guess who isn’t following?”
“Are you kidding?  Did you lose them?”
“Yep.”
“No way.”
“Yes, way.”
“Man, you’re good.”
“Told you.”
“Where we going now?”
“Back to the hideout.  You have cash to count so you can pay me.”
“About that.  See, the teller got the silent alarm before I got all the cash I thought I would get.”
“What are you saying?”
“We may have to renegotiate your fee.”
“My fee.”
“Yeah, see, there isn’t enough here to really cover costs, if you know what I’m saying.”
“Looks like enough to me.”
“Well, yeah, but there’s not really enough for both of us, so I thought since you’re only the driver, you could take a cut.”
“Only the driver.”
“Yeah.”
“All right.  Listen, we should get the money out of that bag.  I have one in the back seat that should work.”
“Where?”
“Take your seat belt off.  Look.”
“Oh, here it is.  Wait, what are you doing?  No, don’t!  Don’t!  Slow down first before you push me out the door!”
“Sorry about this.  My fee is non-negotiable.”
“Wait!  Wait!  We can talk about this!”
“No, we can’t.”
“Are you crazy?”
“Apparently, I am.”
