A Dramatic Interlude

Here's the scene;

INT CAFE DAY

A young BLOG sits at a table. She is nursing a tea that has long since gone cold, and her eyes are red and puffy. Every time the cafe door opens, she looks up expectantly, but it is never who she is waiting for. Finally the door opens, but she doesn't look up, just stirs another spoonful of honey into her tea and turns another page in her magazine.

A satchel is thrown onto the seat next to her and a scruffy-looking MAN in faded camouflage pants and a T-shirt with a witty and vaguely obscene slogan sits down. He smiles at BLOG as she looks up, but stops smiling when he sees her face.

BLOG: Where have you been?

MAN: (Confused) Huh?

BLOG: Where have you been? We're supposed to meet here twice a week. At least. Where have you been?

MAN: Um... around... I've been busy...

BLOG: You've had time to play games online and watch every episode of Cowboy Bebop though, right?

MAN: Okay, so I've been neglecting you recently... I understand that... but it's all going to change. Honest.

He takes her hands in his and BLOG looks up at him. You can tell she wants to believe him, but he's said this all before...
