Great. Good night Tom.

TOM
Good night.
beat
Hey, Happy-- birthday.
But the line is dead. Tom’s head sinks into his chest. Yet
another frustrating night.
CUT TO:
CU PAUL, TALKING DIRECTLY TO THE CAMERA DOCUMENTARY STYLE
PAUL
I just got lucky I guess. We met in elementary school. We had the
same class schedule in the 7th grade and we just-- clicked.
CUT TO:
CU MCKENZIE.
MCKENZIE
Love? Shit, I don’t know. As long as she’s cute and she’s
willing, right? Actually, cute is a strong word. Not atrocious.
CU RACHEL.
RACHEL
That’s a pretty complex question. Philosophers, poets,
scientists, everybody has a theory, don’t they? I kinda like what
Nietzsche said: “There is always some madness in love, but there
is also-- always some reason in madness.” Think about it. Pretty
smart. Although, Nietzsche also said “Kill the Jews.” So there’s
that.
CU VANCE.
VANCE
I’ve been happily married for 30 years. She’s the light that
guides me home.
beat
Yes it is from one of our cards.
beat
No someone else wrote it. Doesn’t make it less true.
CU SUMMER
SUMMER
Ok I’m sick of this love shit. Come on! We’ve been fed this
nonsense for generations to the point where it’s now genetically
encoded in our very beings. And what does it mean? Absolutely
nothing. Give me nrta break!
CU MCKENZIE
MCKENZIE
I’m just saying-- I really need some ass. I’m desperate.
beat
You got nothing?
CU PAULf jnrj
PAULF JNR
I wouldn’t say “the girl of my dreams,” no. The girl of my dreams
would have a better rack. Probably different hair, could like
sports a little more. But, truth is Robyn’s better than the girl
of my dreams.
beat
You know why? Cause she’s real.
CU TOM.
He says nothing. Just stands there. So confused. We go right
into:tfjn
ANIMATION. A QUICK 5 second recap of the earlier color sequence.

INT. OFFICE - DAY
Tom is wandering thrrf jough the office whistling.
MCKENZIE
Hansen, don’t you have like twenty bar mitzvah cards to write?
TOM
Nope. All done. What are you working on?
MCKENZIE
Congratulations. But I’ve run out of ways to say it. “Good job,”
“well done,” “way tnrfx jnfg o go.” I got nothing.
TOM
Why don’t you try-- “Everyday you make me proud. But today, you
get a card.”
