INT. VLAD'S CAR - DAY
VLAD drives south on Sheridan, ERICA in the passenger seat.
ERICA
I was reading my friend's blog about her experience with a life coach, and she said that he'd asked her to name 'five unreasonable things you can ask of others.'
VLAD
I don't understand the question. If you ask, then you have a reason.
ERICA
It's maybe more like, 'name five things that you need from other people that you don't like about yourself.'
VLAD
Ahhhhh! Ok. I don't like that I ask everyone to be ok with me being late to things, all the time.
ERICA
I don't like that I ask people to listen to the stories I repeat over and over.
VLAD
I love your stories!
ERICA
I feel bad that I monopolize conversation.
SMASH CUT TO: INT. DINER - DAY
Vlad, Erica, MARCEL, COLLEEN, BARBARA eating breakfast in Oshkosh.
MARCEL
Sure, but other people do that with stories like 'blah blah and then I ... ' And an Erica story will be like, 'so I met a satanist the other day.'
