INT. MARCUS'S DORM ROOM - NIGHT
The time is circa 1985.
Vi and Marcus finish making love. Marcus has cerebral palsy.
MARCUS
Hey, you want to hear my short
story now?
VI

MARCUS

VI

VI

VI
Well then, maybe you should just
read the ending.
MARCUS
But it won't make any sense if you
hear it out of context.
