This is an exchange of dialogue between Ashley and the main character, Michael. They just met in
the middle of a desolate, Post-Apocalyptic wasteland, so obviously they're overjoyed to find
eachother.
Just read Ashley's lines one after the other, and respond as if you were reacting to the other
character.
ASHLEY (O.S.)
Hey you! Are you deaf?!
Michael TURNS, and to his amazement, his ears haven't
deceived him. A young, beautiful woman APPROACHES.
MICHAEL
(Ecstatic)
A survivor?!
Ashley shares the same enthusiasm.
ASHLEY
Well it's about time I found you!
MICHAEL
(Curious)
Huh?
ASHLEY
(Almost embarrassed)
No, I mean... Well, not that I was
searching for you, but for, just,
somebody.
MICHAEL
(Overjoyed)
I thought I was the only one, you
know, like... not completely
obliterated!
Ashley lets out a brief chuckle.
ASHLEY
You're not. There are others, like
a couple of us... and we've been
searching for survivors.
(BEAT)
Hey, you wouldn't happen to know
anything, would you?
MICHAEL
Um...
ASHLEY
(Apologetic)
About the End, I mean.
Michael scratches his head.
MICHAEL
Not a damn thing.
ASHLEY
(Disappointed)
Oh... you too, huh?
(BEAT)
Um, yeah so, we haven't...
Michael quickly interrupts.
MICHAEL
My name's Michael.
ASHLEY
I'm Ashley.
