Transcript

[A man is approaching a girl at a bar]

Man: Hey girl, if I told you you had a beautiful body, would you one day, in my old age, when my mind and arms have grown soft, would you be there to respect me? To tell me that where I have been hurt I've grown strong, that I have stories worth the listen, that the project of survival hasn't just been the swerve of atoms in an insouciant void?

[The woman turns around slightly]

Woman: Nope. We are all chemistry calling itself biology. Yeast in a puddle of sugar unaware that its strivings are both the meaning of its existence and the mode of its undoing.

[Close-up on the man's face, looking tired]

Man: Wanna go halfsies on a gallon of vodka and drink until we try to have sex and fail?

[The woman approached the man with blank eyes]

Woman: Let it be so, stranger. Let it be so.
