weeks. Months even. You have no excuse”

[Aggressively] “I know but they can’t expect us to

do this much work in such a short amount
of time, do they expect us not to have any

OLIVER MEETS ERIN AND MONDAY
Oliver walks up some steps through a door into another
classroom to find Erin and Monday sat at a table doing some
art work, he walks over to them and looks at Erin’s photos.

OLIVER
“Did you take these?”
ERIN
[Unsure] “Yeah”

OVLIER
“There really good where do you take
them?”
ERIN
[Unsure] “Just, around”

Oliver pulls a chair around abruptly and sits down

with the two girls both of them look shocked and
uncomfortable.
OLIVER
“Can you take me with you?”

Erin and Monday look at each other puzzled, as if

unsure what to do. Then Karen and Roy bust through
the door.
KAREN
They’d run out of cheese and ham again! I
even left earl…
Karen looks at Erin only to receive her mouthing the word
help.
KAREN
[Enthusiastic] “Hi Oliver, you’ve met Erin and
Monday then”

 OLIVER
[Enthusiastic] “Yeah there art work is
insane”
ROY
“That’s what happens when you have nothing
else to but art”
KAREN
[Aggressively] “At least these two are going to get
a good grade for this course and not waste
two years of their lives”
ROY
“I’m getting there”
OLIVER
“They’re just very passionate, that’s a
good trait to have when doing art”
KAREN
“Well, Erin’s especially passionate about
art because of her condition, she can’t
see images in her head,[humorously] she’s
brain blind.”
OLIVER
[Enthusiastic] No way. You can’t imagine things,
that’s so cool you must appreciate
everything you see so much more
ERIN
[Softly] That’s one way of looking at it I suppose

OLIVER
[Passionately] It’s better to look at the positive
side of things that you are unable to
change otherwise you’re letting them get
the better of you, what’s the point of
dwelling on the down side, your just
wasting your time and all it does is make
you feel miserable

Erin stares at Oliver looking overwhelmed at the whole
situation.
KAREN
“Wise words Oliver, wise words”
ROY
“I mean he’s not wrong”

OLIVER AND ERIN GO TRAVELING

Erin walks through the art class into the clay room and
sits down next Monday as usual and the day continues on
with no disturbance, only at lunch when Karen popped in
briefly. The entire week was like this, quite, which was
how Erin preferred it yet for some reason she felt bored
and irritated as if she enjoyed Oliver’s loud obnoxious
company. The following week she is sat in the clay room
again when Oliver walks in and sits down at the table, he
pulls out to train tickets.
OLIVER
Just one day…that’s all

Erin takes the tickets from Oliver.
