BEN is seated on the steps of the Vancouver Art Gallery smoking a cigarette. He is exhausted, having been walking the city all day and is still trying to ignore his body’s insistence that it really shouldn’t be so bright at the moment for what should be just gone midnight. A HOODIE suddenly approaches him…
HOODIE: Youlikeipopraptall?
BEN: What’s that?
HOODIE: You like hiphop or rap at all?
BEN: Not really, no.
HOODIE: ‘kay.
BEN: Sorry, it’s not really my thing.
HOODIE: ‘kay. You want to buy my CD? (extends hand to offer several CD-Rs scrawled upon in illegible red and green marker pen)
BEN: Well, I would, but it’s not really my thing, thanks.
HOODIE walks off in disgust. BEN stubs out cigarette and continues upon his merry exhausted way to buy something cheap to eat from the Pacific Shopping Centre.
