    These are the ends of the world.

      FLASH KARMA

      The Trails We Leave Behind

      End Ten: 'Terms & Conditions'

      Inexplicable or The Problem with Modern Dating

      TITLE: "FLASH KARMA"

      EXT – STREET – DAY

      A well-to-do businessman carrying a briefcase (BUSMAN: tall, thin, handsome, brunette, quick-tempered & impatient) strolls briskly down the sidewalk, chattering into his Bluetooth ear-piece:

      BUSMAN

      Yeah, no, no. I'm going there right now. I can't believe how bad traffic has gotten in this city, I had to park three blocks away. And no taxis!

      A low-flying crow passing by drops a brightly-colored flyer onto his face. He pulls it away with a sneer and continues his conversation:

      BUSMAN

      Ack! Yeah, I'm almost to the Post Office now, I'll check the PO Box and get those figures and then fax them to you ASAP. PO? Fax, seriously? Why not move into the twenty-first century and go digital? Yes, I know faxes are digital now, you're missing the point.

      He glances down at the flyer: a pseudo-Christian apostolic rant, with large print reading There is a void in your heart/REPENT, A-hole! He crumples the flyer and tosses it aside angrily.

      BUSMAN

      Stupid birds! Listen, I can't meet with you right now to discuss this, I have an important dinner with my girlfriend. Tonight's the big night, I'm going to propose. Yeah, uh huh. Hold on, what's this?

      He approaches the crosswalk as traffic passes; TWEAKER #1 steps in and blocks the crosswalk, clutching something to his chest:

      TWEAKER #1

      Hey, hey you. Hey you, I gotta ask you a favor.

      BUSMAN

      Favor? No, I don't want to get involved.

      TWEAKER #1

      Look, it's important. Please, I need you to take this downtown for me.

      TWEAKER #1 presses the envelope to BUSMAN'S midriff, who looks down at it in horror: the envelope is dirty and wrinkled and spattered with blood.

      TWEAKER #1

      I just need you to take this downtown for me and give it to Johnny Three-finger. He'll know what to do.

      BUSMAN

      (Aside, to the earpiece) Hey, hang on a minute. I gotta deal with this. (to TWEAKER #1) No, no I'm not going to do that. Goodbye.

      The traffic light changes and BUSMAN leaves TWEAKER #1 on the corner to cross the street.

      BUSMAN

      I don't know what that was all about. Listen, after I get the figures, we're going to need to... Hold up, I'm getting notifications.

      BUSMAN stops in the middle of the street to pull his cell phone out of his pocket and swipe at it. The text reads: 'URGENT NOTIFICATION – Delivery Subsystem has misplaced your parcel, expect delays in reception'. BUSMAN frowns and pockets his phone, then collects himself and continues to cross.

      TWEAKER #1

      Hey! Come on, I just need you to take it to...

      BUSMAN

      That's not gonna happen buddy, give it up. (Aside to
