a conversation
fade in
dusk. a father and small son are walking north on busy alhambra blvd. the usual street scene. traffic. pedestrians. homeless pushing their shopping carts. on one corner is a starbucks. the smell of coffee in the late summer air. directly across the street on the opposite corner is a kfc. the smell of deep-fried competes with the rich aroma of coffee & diesel fumes & car exhaust.
son: how do you become a vampire?
father: you must be bit in the neck by a vampire to become a vampire.
son: then you won't die?
father: vampires never die. they live forever.
son: then we won't die?
father: we won't die. there is a small wrinkle. vampires exist only in movies, books and stories. they are not real.
son: then we won't die?
father: not for a very long time.
son: then we won't die?
father: we won't die.
son: why do we have ankles?
father: to keep are legs from dragging on the ground.
wipe and fade to black
