JasonMD
I’m baaaaaack Claire!!! Drinks?
ThisIsClaire
Sorry - not Claire.
JasonMD
Umm…why do you have Claire’s phone?
ThisIsClaire
Well, if u must know…
ThisIsClaire
I sat down on this park bench to read…
ThisIsClaire
And sat right on someone’s phone.
ThisIsClaire
Claire’s I’m guessing?
JasonMD
What are you reading?
ThisIsClaire
Nosey nosey ☺
ThisIsClaire
I’m reading something called MUSIC FOR TORCHING.
JasonMD
A.M. Homes. Love her.
ThisIsClaire
Your literary knowledge is impressive.
JasonMD
This might sound insane but...
JasonMD
I have a free day and I’m intrigued by you…
JasonMD
I’m twenty-eight, live in the Mission, relatively attractive...
JasonMD
Never leave home without sunscreen, work at SF General Hospital…
JasonMD
If I sound at all like a man you might be compatible with…
JasonMD
Let’s meet for lunch?
ThisIsClaire
What about Claire?
JasonMD
I don’t think my sister would be jealous ☺
ThisIsClaire
I’m 26, work in film, live for good sushi, definitely not hideous, my skin is dark and my outlook on life is light.
JasonMD
Are you in Washington Square Park? That’s right near Claire’s apartment.
JasonMD
Don’t go anywhere. On my way.
JasonMD
Hey where are you?
ThisIsClaire
Oh so sorry! Got called away suddenly…
JasonMD
Some jerky guy is harassing two women right in front of me.
ThisIsClaire
What happened?
JasonMD
A young female couple was minding their own business when this lunatic came up to them and said their kind was ruining the country.
ThisIsClaire
What did you do?
JasonMD
I just offered a counter argument.
JasonMD
I countered that HIS kind are ruining the country. His kind being rude, intolerant, obnoxious, hate spewing jerks!
ThisIsClaire
What did he do?
JasonMD
He ran away when faced with my alternate counter argument…my fist.
ThisIsClaire
How very macho of you.
JasonMD
I wasn’t REALLY going to punch him.
JasonMD
I’m a surgeon. My hands are my life.
JasonMD
Anyway…where are you?
JasonMD
I want to meet you.
ThisIsClaire
Nearby. At Coit Tower.
ThisIsClaire
Friend of mine needed some quick advice.
JasonMD
Don’t go anywhere. Be right there!
ThisIsClaire
Maybe we should just meet some other time.
JasonMD
Nope sorry already on my way.
JasonMD
Here! Where are you?
ThisIsClaire
I’m here. I don’t see you…
JasonMD
Oh jeez. I have to do this thing for someone real quick.
ThisIsClaire
What are you doing?
JasonMD
Climbing to the top of Coit Tower. This sweet older lady was frantic.
JasonMD
I asked her what was wrong…
JasonMD
She said she left her bus pass at the top and was too exhausted to go back up.
JasonMD
So now I’m making my way to the top to get her bus pass.
JasonMD
You wouldn’t by chance be at the top would you?
ThisIsClaire
Nope sorry Jason.
JasonMD
Ok I’m heading back down with this lady’s bus pass. Don’t leave!!!
JasonMD
Now where are you?
ThisIsClaire
So sorry. I’m acting in this short film and they need me at the Castro Theater ASAP for a quick reshoot!
ThisIsClaire
Let’s just meet another day.
JasonMD
No can do. I am determined to meet you today.
JasonMD
May I come to the Castro and wait until you’re done?
JasonMD
Better yet…can I watch you act in the film?
ThisIsClaire
Well since you did help that little old lady… I guess it would be ok.
ThisIsClaire
Were you a boy scout or something?
JasonMD
Haha no! I just have great parents. ☺
ThisIsClaire
So I should be done in about an hour.
JasonMD
I will be there in 30 minutes. Just gonna hop on BART.
JasonMD
What’s your short film about?
ThisIsClaire
It’s about this woman who’s running around the city trying to escape her stalker.
ThisIsClaire
Don’t worry it’s not about you ;D
JasonMD
I’m here in front of the theater, but I don’t see any film crew…
ThisIsClaire
Sorry we changed locations at the last minute.
ThisIsClaire
Director wanted to film at Dolores Park instead.
ThisIsClaire
We’re just about done.
JasonMD
Oh man this just isn’t my day.
ThisIsClaire
Why what’s up now?
JasonMD
I was standing in front of the Castro Theater when I noticed a kid who seemed lost…
JasonMD
He was crying and saying he’s on vacation with his parents and can’t find them.
JasonMD
I asked where he’d last seen them and he said he wasn’t sure.
JasonMD
He said just one of these stores nearby.
JasonMD
So I told him to wait in front of the theater, and now I’m running around like a crazy person looking for his parents.
JasonMD
Oh excellent! Think I found them.
JasonMD
I’ll text you back in a few minutes.
JasonMD
Wow what a crazy day!
ThisIsClaire
Did you reunite that poor child with his parents?
ThisIsClaire
I’m still at Dolores Park. Filming is over. Waiting for you!
JasonMD
Ok I can run there.
JasonMD
Gimme a couple of minutes.
JasonMD
Here! Where are you?
ThisIsClaire
I’m here but I don’t know what you look like?
JasonMD
Like Ethan Hawke if he had to shave every day... ;)
ThisIsClaire
So like just a random white guy? ;)
JasonMD
Pretty much. Perhaps you stand out more. What are you wearing?
ThisIsClaire
Colorful sun dress, sandals, white hat…
JasonMD
Oh man that’s awful.
ThisIsClaire
Who are you the fashion police? Jerk!
JasonMD
Oh geez no! Not your outfit. This mean guy near me.
JasonMD
This jackass is treating his dog horribly.
JasonMD
He’s yelling at it and I’m worried he’s going to be violent.
ThisIsClaire
What’s happening?
JasonMD
Yeah it’s all good.
JasonMD
I told the guy to stop treating his dog so badly.
JasonMD
The guy starts like weeping or something and then hugs me…
JasonMD
He said he just lost his job and is having a bad day.
JasonMD
Says he’s sorry and feels really bad.
ThisIsClaire
Jason you are truly a good guy.
JasonMD
It’s so weird…I’ve never had to help so many people in one day.
JasonMD
Something must be in the water!
ThisIsClaire
Oh! I think I see you!
ThisIsClaire
I’m on the bench waving.
ThisIsClaire
Straight ahead about a hundred feet.
JasonMD
I see you. Wow! Megan you are more lovely than I could’ve imagined
ThisIsClaire
Why thank you. And Jason…
ThisIsClaire
Nothing is in the water. I’ve been testing you.
ThisIsClaire
The two women at the park, the old lady, the kid, the guy with the dog…
ThisIsClaire
They are all actors.
ThisIsClaire
Friends of mine from my film.
ThisIsClaire
All your heroics were for fake situations.
ThisIsClaire
See now. They are all standing next to me waving at you, too.
JasonMD
Why would you do that?
ThisIsClaire
I don’t just allow random men to meet me.
ThisIsClaire
And since I had my actor friends with me I decided to do a little improv.
ThisIsClaire
Lucky for me you turned out to be even more wonderful than I suspected.
ThisIsClaire
Now put your phone back in your pocket and give me a hug. We’ve got a lunch date to start ☺
JasonMD
I must warn you. I give great hug.
ThisIsClaire
I have no doubt.
ThisIsClaire
Bring it on.
