character: a person owning a white Lamborghini and a full bedroom to store his 30ish guitar collection
A: i've been engaged 3 times, one around 20, one around 30, and one in my 40
tm: why didn't they work out for you?
A: i thought they would change when i give them the ring, but they didn't. At some point, I even had to sell all my guitars because she didn't like it.
tm: probably she was jealous because you spent more time with your guitars then with her.. well, now you know you can't change a person.
A: yeah, i've learned it well.
setting: a raining afternoon, at the train station exit on 60th st and lexington ave
character: an African street vendor of umbrellas
tm: how do you know it's the right person? There's might be a chance I'll be very unhappy if i were to be with the wrong person.
B: you look into his eyes and see that his eyes only see you. If you find that person who sees only you, you will be the happiest.
setting: Latino night club, loud music
character: an African-American, about 40ish
tm: why aren't you dancing?
C: i'm a people watcher. And it's been a great night.
tm: how do you know it's been a great night or not when you just sit here?
C: it's all about the atmosphere. And tonight's atmosphere has been great!
tm: what do you do during the day?
C: i only sleep
tm: well, in that case, either you're a millionaire or jobless.
C: can i buy you a drink?
tm: no thanks, i'll be drunk if i get another one. But since you're having the money to pay for my drink, i'm thinking of a third possibility where you have some money but don't care much about your future.
C: i care very much about my future.
tm: hmm.. in that case, there's a higher chance you could be very rich then
C: so can i buy you a drink now?
tm: it's still the same answer whether you're rich or not. I can't get drunk.
C: but you have your friends there to protect you.
tm: you can't count on no one but yourself.
C: would you like to dance?
