EXT. GRANVILLE AVE - CHICAGO - MORNING
VLAD and ERICA bundled up, walking.
ERICA
Whoa, it snowed more last night?
VLAD
If you thought this winter was over ... THINK AGAIN! Because there's three more months of this shit!
ERICA
It's March! This won't go til June.
VLAD
I prefer to keep expectations low, and be pleasantly surprised.
ERICA
What you call 'low expectations' I call a 'bad attitude.'
VLAD
I'm beyond bad attitude. I'm beyond denial, beyond anger, I'm in acceptance.
ERICA
But this negative Cassandra prophesizing--that's the bad attitude.
VLAD
Wait ... but Cassandra was RIGHT!
