241. Cells - Leslie

• FADE IN:


• EXT. CITY SIDEWALK - DAY


• JESSICA and MATT walk slowly down the sidewalk, their arms weighed down with groceries.


• MATT
• You know, there's something so amazing about human touch.


• JESSICA
• Yeah...


• MATT
• I've seen people cheered up by just a second of contact. Odd when you think about it, just patches of cells pressing together.


• JESSICA
• And the neurons under that skin getting all jumpy.


• MATT
• I suppose so. It's what I miss about dating. Just that you knew that on a bad day you could just have that contact. What is it really? I mean the minute you're touched, everything seems to lift away.


• Jessica stops, turning to him.


• Smiling, she puts her arms around him and gives him a long hug.


• He reciprocates, their sudden stop almost causing a pedestrian pile-up.


• She lets go and they slowly begin to walk again.


• MATT
• Thanks.


• JESSICA
• Figured that's what you were getting at. Better?


• MATT
• Much.


• FADE TO BLACK.
