The third canceled dinner

Shadow Mia first. She's annoyed, but she's on his side, so her lines are direct without being cold. "Oliver, it's November" should land flat and a little funny. Then take Oliver's part. His excuses get weaker as the scene goes on; let "Fine" sound like he's finally agreeing with himself.

1. MiaOliver, I got your message. You're canceling dinner again?
2. OliverI'm really sorry. The client moved the deadline to Monday, and my manager asked me to fix the report.
3. MiaThat's the third time this month you've canceled on me.
4. OliverI know. It's not about you. I haven't seen anyone outside work in weeks.
5. MiaWhen did you last do something in London that wasn't work?
6. OliverI went to the gym in September, I think. Once.
7. MiaOliver, it's November.
8. OliverI know how it sounds. But if I say no, someone else has to do it, and they're busy too.
9. MiaHow many projects are you on right now?
10. OliverFour. Five, if you count the one I'm only helping with.
11. MiaThat's too many. You're taking on too much, and nobody stops you because you keep saying yes.
12. OliverSo what do I do? Refuse the report?
13. MiaNo. But have a word with your manager tomorrow. Tell her you can't do five projects well.
14. OliverWhat if she thinks I can't handle it?
15. MiaShe'll think that anyway if you fall apart in March. Better she hears it now, from you.
16. OliverFine. I'll talk to her in the morning.
17. MiaGood. And dinner moves to Saturday. If you cancel again, I'm bringing the food to your desk.
18. OliverSaturday. I promise. I'll even turn my phone off.
19. MiaI'll believe that when I see it.
