Scene: It’s 7AM. Overcast. The rays of the sun cannot penetrate the heavy clouds of grey. Camera pans to a young couple standing by the sink in their underwear with hair that tells of a recent roll out of bed. Both mouths have a fair ring of toothpaste about them. They haven’t yet spoken to one another.
[Queue Marcus to break the morning silence.]
Marcus: Look at us with our Sonicares.
[Ashley smiles a luxurious, but pasty smile.]
Ashley: I know, we’re so rich.
[Marcus lifts his nose in a haughty fashion.]
Marcus: We hate to bore our hands and arms with movement.
Ashley: Oh yes, the monotony.
[They both throw their heads back in affluent laughter. The very kind that makes others feel inferior.]
And… cut.
Sometimes this is how we trick ourselves into believing we’re not broke. Although, I certainly hope we would never actually act like this were we not.
Yeah, I know--we’re dorks.

Haha, I love this! My favorite lines:
Marcus: We hate to bore our hands and arms with movement.
Ashley: Oh yes, the monotony.
SO funny.
Haha Lauren that's awesome! I ride my bike whilst all my friends drive their own car, with my head held high, laughing whilst I pass them all whilst they're stuck in traffic!! xxxx
Allison, I did the bow-bun hairdo last night--love it!
Oh teaandbiscuits, not only are you not stuck in traffic, but i bet you have a stronger heart and better legs than the "auto-privileged" people of the world!
