The bus is crowded and many passengers stand on the aisle. Laura’s just got in from the front door. The bus starts.

LAURA (thought):

WHOA, I’M LATE.

Laura goes into the middle of bus among the passengers. Many passengers stand on the aisle but she finds one unused seat among the passengers.

LAURA (thought):

OH, I’M STILL LUCKY.

Laura hops in the seat and opens only one pop can she has picked up on the street and still holds in her hand.

LAURA (thought):

WHY ARE OTHER GUYS SO DULL?

4

Laura drinks the pop and squints at the guy next seat. Greg sits there, who looks like a mobster or something. Laura is scared and realizes why this seat remains unoccupied.

LAURA (thought):

OOH. I SEE WHY THIS SEAT WAS RESERVED FOR ME.

GREG (thought):

I DON’T MEAN TO SCARE HER.
