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
