    A man goes for a run to clear his thoughts and has an internal debate. He hears Alan Watts discussing how the constant internal dialogue can be problematic. He sits on a bench and considers typing something on his phone but decides against it. An internal argument ensues about opening up to others versus self-sufficiency. He puts on headphones to drown out the noise in his head, but the debate continues. He tells it to reset and continues his run to move past the internal conflict.

    A MAN GOES FOR A RUN TO CLEAR HIS THOUGHTS.

    HE HAS A SUBVOCAL
    CONVERSATION IN HIS MIND, A KIND OF DEVIL ON MY LEFT SHOULDER ANGEL
    ON MY RIGHT SHOULDER SCENARIO.

    EXT. PARK - SUNSET

    HE JOGS.

    ALAN WALTS(V.O)

    The same is true for people who think all the time. That means when I say the word think, talking
    to yourself, subvocal conversation, the constant chit chat of symbols, and images, talk and words
    inside your skull.

    CUT TO: EXT. PARK (APPROACHING BENCH) - ALMOST NIGHT

    HE APPORACHES AND SITS ON THE BENCH.

    HE TAKES OUT HIS PHONE, TYPES SOMETHING AND THEN HESITATES. THEN HE
    DELETES IT.

    SUBVOCAL CONVO STARTS:

    You’re doing it again.

    What?

    "I’m fine." "it's my problem, don't want to burden others."

    And what is wrong with that?

    That’s just you hiding behind the mask of self-sufficiency; that you can and should handle
    everything alone.

    It’s, you know, like scary since you have no control of the thoughts or actions others;
    But that’s how it is; it’s just you and your pride

    Feels more like self-protection

    But that isolates and weakens you

    Well, I’d rather self-inflict than the latter ... okay that's

    enough

    PUTS THE HEADPHONE ON TO BLOCK THE NOISE IN HIS HEAD

    1
    MUSIC PLAYS. VOLUME DROPS

    Moments like this; feels like there's nobody in the world.

    (chuckles)Or perhaps you're nobody's world.

    deaaadd

    How’s that for self-inflicting?

    fuck off

    SMILES

    All right, let's reset and go again.

    GETS UP, STRETCHES AND CONTINUE HIS RUN
