Scene: Five Unreasonable Things.

december 6th, 2013.

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.'
