5.

In the Post Office.

A: We've been waiting forever. When will this line move?

B: Be patient, sweetie. Look, they just opened another window.

Later, in the Chinese Food restaurant.

B: I don't know, it was a long time ago, in the college radio station. He was sitting on a stool in the record storage room, and I was carrying a stack of records, and he looked at me and said 'so, brushing up on your jazz?'

A: What was he like back then?

B: He was very shy, just like you. And... skinny. I don't know. I guess you wouldn't think of him that way, would you?

Later, in the Subway.

B: You should know this by now. We've taken this train a hundred times, honey.

A: Yeah, but I just want to make sure for when school starts.

B: Are you getting excited?

A: A little. But Zach and Emmy won't even be there, so I'll only know like four kids.

B: Well you'll just have to try and make new friends. It's hard, but... you'll manage.
