A Million Times Yes

A MILLION TIMES YES BY JEFFREY LO (DOWNLOAD PDF HERE)

A black, empty space with nothing except for --  DEZI sitting at a desk.

She is trying to get work done.

On one side of her desk is a laptop.

On the other of the desk is a desktop computer.

At the center of the desk is a notepad.

In between the notepad and laptop is a cup of coffee.

In between the notepad and the desktop computer is a book.

Somewhere in all of that is her phone.

On the edge of the desk,, almost falling off of it, is a paper planner.

DEZI is the type of person to still keep a paper planner.

DEZI continues to work.

A PERSON enters.

A PERSON: Hey Dezi.

DEZI: Yes?

A PERSON: Can you do that thing for me?

DEZI: What thing?

A PERSON: You know, the thing.

DEZI: Right.

A PERSON: Right.

DEZI: Yes, I can do that for you.

A PERSON: Great.

A PERSON exits.

DEZI adds it to her to-do list.

DEZI gets back to work.

ANOTHER PERSON enters.

ANOTHER PERSON: Hey Dezi.

DEZI: Hi.

ANOTHER PERSON: Can you do me a favor?

Silence.
