5.17.2007: Simple (How Much It Takes to Change a Day)

The Guy is here, his cell phone in hand.

He flips it open, and we watch him send a text message.

He closes his phone.

A moment or two passes.

His phone rings.

He checks who it is. He smiles. He raises a finger to the audience as if to say “Hold on a minute, ok?” and answers.


THE GUY
Hey, what’s up?

He walks off to take this call.

The phone call isn’t a promise. It portends nothing. It is merely a nice, simple little moment. But the day changes, enough to get mentioned in here.

He’s a good fella, Nate is. Glad he’s around.

The lights go down.

Nate's cool enough to completely blow off your brother on his birthday! I expect a nice gift! ;)
