Scene 1

Int.- Dark Room - Night

A young woman sits in the dark on a couch. A young man sits next to her.

Woman:

Call me tomorrow.

Man:

No.

Woman:

Why?

Man:

You don't want me to call you.

The woman turns away. The man tries to see if she is crying. He can not be sure.

Woman:

Why would I tell you to call me if I don't want you to call me? Forget it. I don't want to make you do anything you don't want to do.

Man:

You don't understand.

Scene II

Int. Car - Night

A young woman sits in the passenger seat, a young man sits behind the steering wheel. She has been crying.

Woman:

It isn't that difficult. You either do or you don't. It has to be one or the other.

Man:

It is. But it's not what you want to hear.

Woman:

How do you know what I want to hear?

Man:

I don't. But I know this isn't it.

Woman:

Well?

The young man closes his eyes and shakes his head slowly while the young woman waits for her answer.

Man:

You want me to love you. Even though I know you don't love me. You just have to know...that's not what's stopping me. The problem is you're not happy with how I am so you want me to change, while I like the way you are...just as much as I like the way I am.

Woman:

How do you know you wouldn't like being different?

Man:

You can't understand.

Man:

Good.

The young man smiles down at her, the young woman smiles back.

Woman:

I've got to be going.

Man:

I just wanted you to know...I love you.

Woman:

I know.

Man:

No, you don't.

Woman:

But...

Man:

You wouldn't understand.
