The Conversations
Here is a sample conversation between two characters
teenage boy to man in suit
Teenage Boy Says:
Funeral? Job interview? ringmaster? You look like a man who should be somewhere. but i’ve been watching you, you’ve been hanging round here for ages… so what gives? Yeah yeah, i know i’m being a hypocrite. but i’m the one asking questions right now.
Man in Suit Says:
you certainly are the one asking questions. but you’ve mistaken me for someone else. rather than being the man who should be somewhere, i’m the man who shoulda been somewhere. last night. i never made it and here i am.
Teenage Boy Says:
yeah well.. i’m bored. man, talk about confusing and annoying. where were you supposed to be last night?
Man in Suit Says:
uhh, i actually had a wake to go to. the funeral was in the late afternoon and on my way to the wake i got a bit lost, then mugged and the directions were in my wallet. the directions to the wake. and here i am so many hours later
