Sure you do, we meet every 26
years, 13 days at this hour. Have
you accomplished your goal?

I'm sorry I think you might have me
confused for somebody else.

Seth stands up.

STRANGER
Seth, please sit back down.

SETH
How do you know my name?
STRANGER
Do you believe in fate? Fate is a
curious thing. I think this may be
the penultimate chapter of our
relationship. I have doubt, you
know, seeing how little you have
changed but I'm an optimistic
person. Of course theres the chance
we go on forever but I'm hopeful.
No, not hopeful, hoping doesn't get
you anywhere.
SETH

STRANGER
Understand. No one does, I'm going
to leave you with my number. I
