Michael (and Meredith)
Michael sits at the window, reading a book. Meredith takes the seat beside him.
Meredith: (clutching head with hands) Ugh!!
Michael ignores her.
Meredith: I can’t stand the pressure!
Michael: (looks up) Are you talking to me?
Meredith: Who else? Don’t you feel the pressure building up sometimes until you can’t stand it anymore?
Michael: No.
Meredith: Not at work? Not at home?
Michael: No.
Meredith: Don’t you ever have deadlines?
Michael: Only the ones I set for myself to read my book. (goes back to reading)
Meredith: (sarcastically) Well then. I’m sorry I disturbed you.
Michael ignores her.
Meredith: Aren’t you going to say ‘that’s okay,’ or anything?
Michael: (without looking up) No.
Meredith: You should.
Michael: (clutching head with hands) Ugh!!!
Meredith: Well! I never!
Meredith changes seats.
