First Person

Nicholas Cohen

OPENING CREDIT SEQUENCE

INT. BROOKLYN CAFÉ. DAWN

Lean, intelligent, haggard DANIEL SHRIVER (32) sits at an empty table finishing his coffee. He stares at the empty seat opposite him where another cup of coffee and Danish sit completely untouched. DANIEL speaks quietly to the empty chair.

DANIEL
You know I could really do with one of your dumb jokes.

Burly, red-haired, pierced ROSIE (34) sweeps by and picks up DANIEL’s empty cup. She stands by DANIEL and joins him in staring at the empty seat and untouched coffee.

ROSIE
He was always late. I remember that. Every time.
