Synopsis

A boy and girl meet and speak as though in a novel: He said and then I said. Small talk and awkward silences descend into blah blah blah. Each considers breaking away but remembers how being alone is. They reminisce about childhood, growing up and so on until they suddenly become animated and rise to witty banter, establishing a rapport with no more awkward silences.
