My brother, he was completely transformed after what happened.

I think we all changed after that, one way or another.

Right!

How's Allysa doing?

She's still trying to get over it, surprisingly that it took her more time than me.

Everybody's different.

Sometimes she would ask me like, would I feel better if you was not a ballerina, and I would become
exasperated, then we would argue and I don't know, I just wish she could let it go.

Give her some time, I believe it's hard when you are parents.

Steve: actually, I would like to ask you for a favor, it's...

Jessie: what?

Is it possible that we can meet again, with my brother, he really wants to see you.

Oh...

You don't have to give me an answer right away.

I don't know...

Can I have your phone number?

Actually I think it would be better the other way around, I give you my phone number and you let me
know when you make a decision.

Jessie (exhale): yeah

2 INT. COFFEE SHOP - CONTINUOUS 3

STEVE moves the chair and JESSIE wheels to that spot.

Then he sits down opposite to her, a bit
UNCOMFORTABLE and UNNERVED, but then she smiles at
him and he looks RELAXED.

JESSIE
(look around)
This place is nice!

STEVE
Yeah, I believe they must get a lot
of customers from the museum. Being
so close...

3 CONTINUED: 3

JESSIE
...and with all these
artsy decorations. It's
like soaking yourself in
the world of art.

The pagers on the table vibrates, STEVE

snatches it up and trots to the counter to
pick up their order. Then he comes back and
places two cup of cappuccino on the table,
then sits back down.

JESSIE
It was fast.
STEVE
The barista probably get used to the
hectic day speed.

JESSIE sprinkles a pinkish pack of SWEET'N'LOW into her

coffee and stirs it gingerly.

JESSIE
Just like mine.

STEVE
(smile confusedly)
I'm sorry?

JESSIE
The wheelchair, I
mean...

STEVE
Oh, I'm sorry!

JESSIE
It's ok...

JESSIE
(CONT'D)
To be honest I used to
dwell on it myself but
then I stopped, it's
just unhealthy, you can
addicted to a certain
kind of sadness.
 STEVE
Somebody that I used
to know, if I remember
it right.

JESSIE
Yes, in my case it was
relentless self-pity.

STEVE

My brother,
