Angela walks the room instructing. 12 INT. LAUGHTER WORKSHOP -- LATER The group has broken up into groups of two. They sit cross-legged on the floor facing each other with their eyes closed. Jon sits across from an OLDER WOMAN. She is very comfortable with the exercise. She looks at him with a wide grin. ANGELA Now, I want you to continue looking directly into your partners eyes and say the things about yourself that you think are unlovable. Those things that you think make you unworthy of love. JON How much time do you have? The woman doesn't respond. She just keeps smiling at Jon. JON (CONTD) Wow, this is a bit intimate huh? Isn't it? It's a little intimate. Yes. WOMAN 12

I mean, I guess that's not necessarily bad but... I don't know maybe if that was my only bad quality I'd be more O.K. with it but I'm also kinda.... pale and hairy. Which... The woman continues to stare at him with a wide grin. JON (CONTD) God. What the hell am I talking about? Sorry. Thats right you cant respond. Youre very good at this. Its funny though how these little superficial seemingly, like silly things really affect how I see myself in the world or whatever, you know....I guess I've just never been comfortable with myself. I've always wanted to be other people. Silence. JON (CONTD) Wow. We're really losing the whole laughter element of this aren't we.

The man just stares at her and smiles. Angela smiles back still holding onto Jon's arm. The man hugs Angela. Jon's arm gets entangled in the hug. He tries to disentangle himself at first but the other two don't seem to notice so he tries to just wait out the hug. It goes on for what seems like an eternity to Jon. He looks away. A couple people look over and smile as they leave. Jon nods to them still ensnared. The hug finally ends and he quickly untangles his arm. Angela and the man don't even notice. 14 EXT.

Jon nods as if he knows the word. JON (CONTD) I like what youre saying though cause, I dont know, for me I've never really felt comfortable in any sort of standard relationship but I always just assumed there was something wrong with me. ANGELA Why? Because youre not clinging to some old ideal out of fear? Jon smiles. ANGELA (CONTD) Theres nothing wrong with you. Youre just being true to yourself. They look at each other. Are you ready? Yeah. She smiles. For what? JON (CONTD) (CONTINUED) ANGELA (CONTD) JON
