I wrote this at night. One out of many


I don't know if I'll come back to this



Ext.Park.Night 
Tina
(Wondrously ) 
Why did you put yourself in this place. It didn't have to be like this. You built the confounds you bound yourself to, Jason. 
Jason 
It's not that easy. I have no substance any girl would want. I'm a waste. I knew that. I built these confounds not imprison me, but to free me. 
Tina
You're fucking me right? 
Jason 
(Dismissively) 
No, no 
Tina
What the fuck do you mean then? No substance? You have a everything a girl would want, Jason you know that. You're in the Forbes list for Christ's sake. 
Jason 
(Excitedly) 
Exactly! I have every thing  a girl would want. You're right. I do have money. I do have status. Shit, I can even make a few things happen, but that's not substance. 
Tina
How is that not substance. You're crazy 
Jason 
Without those material things I am once again nothing. No girl could like me for me. I'm not even saying it on a derogatory way. I'm near deranged... On an intrinsic level I'm not likable... Incompatible. I'm not mad I just accepted it. No girl should want me. My legacy is what you see now. A few plaques and an estate. I acknowledge that. 
Tina
I don't think you see what I see.
Jason 
No, I do, and that's the thing you don't get. 
Raquel begins to speak , but her phone starts  to ring. Her face lights up 
Tina 
Oh shit, gotta go. It's Michael. He's taking me out for dinner. 
Jason 
(With a mild yet troubled face) 
Oh that's nice. Have fun!
Tina
(While backing away trying to catch a taxi)
Believe me I will, ps, we need to finish this conversation.
Jason is left on the park bench alone. In house produced music plays as he is seen getting up to walk away. The shot gets dimmer and dimmer till the screen is black 

Jason walks around the city by his lonesome. He walks into different stores just because .
