LIGHTS UP ON: JEFF at a CROWDED STARBUCKS. The only available seat is at the counter next to a SMART YOUNG ASIAN FELLOW with dark circles under his eyes. Asian Fellow's jacket is draped over the empty chair.

JEFF
Do you mind if sit here?

FELLOW
No. The world is full of deficiencies. Chairs and hunger.

(Jeff takes a moment to digest what this means.)

JEFF
So at the moment, chairs and hunger are your only deficiencies?

FELLOW
That I can think of. If I think of anything else, I'll add it to the list.

JEFF
(laughing) Okay.

(Jeff spots an empty table that has just opened up.)

JEFF
Oh! Well, gotta go. Thanks.

FELLOW
I will never forget this brief time we traveled together.

(Jeff laughs loudly. Then flees.)
