This is my very, very, very short screenplay about me, Kris and two iPods. And the Vinyl word became less and less about stickers . . .
Chracters:
Kris - Ohio native now living in Queens. Makes $$$ at dVider and a small school in Chinatown. Thrifty, but not cheap. Wears glasses and blue pants. Yes, the same pants. Every day.
Kerry - from upstate New York, now living in Brooklyn. Makes $$$ at dVider. Thrifty, but sometimes extravagant without reason. Buys vintage nightgowns in Amsterdam and tells everyone in New York that they're dresses.
(Scene opens in the dVider studio. Kerry is traveling to a faraway land in the coming days. The journey will be long and difficult. She will hope for the kindness of strangers to get her by. She receives a package from the UPS man. Inside is the refurbished iPod touch she ordered. Kris is curious. He's never seen such a thing.)
Kris: It's fancy, man. How much was your iPod, like a million bucks?
Kerry: I think it came to around $200 which isn't too bad. I don't know how I'd make it through a flight over an hour without it.
Kris: But how much music can it hold? Like 5 songs?
Kerry: My old, old, old and quite sad iPod had 4GB, and I just filled it. This one is 16GB, has WiFi, crazy applications, and a bunch of other stuff I really don't need, but might be fun to have.
Kris: ****. I think I'm gonna get one.
Months pass.
Halloween.
Thanksgiving.
Christmas.
Days grow long and dark.
Kerry: So how is this iPod action working out for you Kris?
Kris: Oh, man. It's so much easier to carry this than my old walkman and all those tapes. Even if I became entirely bored of a tape, I'd still listen to it because maybe it's the only tape I grabbed and put in my bag that day. It's a whole new world.
Kerry: Oh, I'm so pleased to hear. Have you found any cool podcasts?
Kris: What the **** is a podcast? I don't get it.
Kerry: Oh man, Kris. It's like a radio show to go. You can scan through tons of radio shows, concerts, new reports, and more and play them right away or download them to your iPod and save 'em for your next subway ride. You can even subscribe to 'em so that everytime you plug your iPod into your computer the newest podcasts will be downloaded to you iPod.
Kris falls even more madly in love with his iPod. He listens to internationally reknowned professors, the world news, historical speeches, and, once in awhile, a concert. His iPod and him live happily ever after in his basement apartment. Kerry bought her around the world ticket and fled New York never to be seen from again.
