Acting scenes for two. Can someone give suggestions?

Hello, I am a drama student and have to choose an acting scene for next semester. Me and my partner are struggling to find one we both like.

Please suggest an acting scene (from a play) for a man and woman that follows these guidelines:

1. It has to be realism :/

2. The characters need to have more-or-less an equal amount of words

3. I would prefer a dramatic scene, although comedy is welcome as well.

4. It needs to be 5-7 minutes long (but dont worry too much about that, I can cut and edit etc.)

5. Oh and the male character needs to be a high-status character (i've played 2 low status characters this year and cant face another one)

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

THANKS, 10 pts

Update:

Thanks for really useless answers. You clearly didnt read what a wrote here. SHAKESPEARE IS NOT REALISM. No best answer. rEPOSTING

    You could try find a dialogue from the Kiera Knightley movie Duchess. The male role is a douche but he has a higher status than the female role and it is dramatic...

    otherwise from the play Othello there are many dialogues...

    Shakespeare.

    Do an online search of what you are looking for...something should come up.
