                    Now…  In the dark depths of Central Park is where we begin our story as we look beyond the trees and see… our man walking wearily into the park.

HERO –  My world is crumbling apart. I feel as if my soul has hopped a train, and I wonder alone. My wife will leave me for sure this time. I know this because she said, “Daniel, If this happens again I will, this time, leave you for sure.” Well, that’s what I did. I will have no one. What am I going to do?

(Suddenly an ambitious man pops out from behind the bench)

“      “ – I don’t know!

HERO – Who are you?

“      “ – I am… I am…I am smellin’ like a rose that somebody gave me on my birthday death bed... I aaaaaammmmmmmmmmmm ahoooowhowww!

HERO – Oh God where am I. (as he looks all around him)

“     “   - I am here to help you.

HETRo - I don’t think anything can help me you skeazy suck ball. I have no jawb, No friends, probably no wife.

“      “ – (he whispers into HETRo’s ear) Suicide is an Option?
