(Lights up. A MAN sits alone in his
bedroom, sitting with his laptop
on his lap. He types away
frantically for several minutes,
pounding at the keys like
a crucial deadline is approaching.
Eventually he slows, stops,
and begins rubbing his temples.)

MAN:
Uh... Fuck. Now what. Now what, now what, now what.

(He slowly starts typing again,
picks up speed, and begins going
again at a considerable pace.
He types throughout his speech.)

MAN:
Yes... yes, almost, almost there. Almost done... al-most...

(Just then a beep comes sharply
from the laptop speakers, and the
screen freezes in place. MAN
continues to type but nothing happens.)

MAN:
No. No... FUCK, NO, WHY? I WAS ALMOST DONE! 7 pages... 7 PAGES!

(Lights fade.)
