C of A



EXT. HAZY SKY Pale with the morning sun. Seth and a friend in similar dress, CASSIEL, are outlined against it.

CASSIEL Pajamas?

Seth reads from a small spiral notebook.

SETH Flannel. With feet.

Cassiel reads from his spiral notebook.

CASSIEL Yesterday. Sunrise at 6:18, sunset at 7:33. A mechanic hummed show tunes all morning for no reason.

SETH A man gave his girl friend a box of Crackerjacks. Inside the envelope containing the toy surprise she found a diamond engagement ring.

CASSIEL The envelope was sealed?

SETH Like it came from the factory.

CASSIEL Nice. (reads) A busy man turned back in the doorway and took his child in his arms.

SETH A man touched a woman's bare skin, quite by accident, but it made her turn and look at him in such a way. . . Seth holds the book open, remembering.

SETH Don't you ever wonder what that would be like? Touch?

CASSIEL (thinking) Touch. . . He closes his book.


"You knew there would always be a spring, as you knew the Seine would flow again after it was frozen. When the cold rains kept on and killed the spring, it was as though a young person had died for no reason." - Hemingway
