Part 1: The Journey Across The Street

*Two men stand on the edge of a sidewalk, facing towards the road.*

Jake: So... how is that wife of yours?

Karl: Fine, atleast thats what she told me anyways.

Jake: It must be hard not being able to see your wife like you used to?

Karl: Beleive me, it is. But life goes on.

Jake: Yeah, it does doesn't it.

*Both men look across the road to see if its clear.*

Karl: I can hear a car coming, but I can't see it.

Jake: Yeah, I get that feeling sometimes, and I'm not...

Karl: Blind.

Jake: Yes. How'd you know what I was going to say?

Karl: Cause we had this conversation yesterday, the day before, and the day before that. I know I'm blind jake, you don't have to keep reminding me about it.

Jake: Oh yeah, sorry Karl. I always forget things like that.

*Theres complete silence for a few seconds.*

Jake: Look, we're in the clear.

Karl: Here, let me put my arm on your shoulder.

Jake: Sure.

*Both men walk off the sidewalk and into the street.*

Part 2: The Journey To The Donut Shop

*Both Jake and Karl step onto the sidewalk from there journey across the street.*

Jake: So which way shall we journey next? You got your left, straight forward, or you can go right. Which is it gonna be?

Karl: We went left yesterday right?

Jake: Yeah, I think so.

Karl: So, lets go right today.

*Both men make a right and start to walk down the sidewalk.*

Karl: Tell me when we find a donute shop. I'm craving something sweet.

*Jake takes his wallet out, looks through it, and puts it back in his pocket.*

Jake: Sounds good to me but... Uh... Hey Karl... I was just wondering if there was any chance of you paying today. You know, I've been paying for the past week and a half.

Karl: Now jake, I'm blind, I already told you to stop reminding me didn't I?

Jake: Yes.

Karl: Well then, would a blind man be stupid enough to carry a wallet?

*Jake pauses to think.*

Jake: From your reaction to my answer, and the anger in your voice... I guess not.

Karl: Your correct for once.

*Jake sees a Donut shop and pats Karl on the shoulder.*

Karl: Yes Jake, what is it?

Jake: We're here sir.

Karl: Good. I'll take two glazed, and a cup of coffee. Now hurry along.

Jake: All right sir, I'll be back.

*Jake opens the door to walk in.*

Karl: Hey Jake.

*Jake stops, as Karl bends down, takes off his right shoe, and pulls out a 20 dollar bill.*

Karl: Its on me today.

Steve: I thought you...

Karl: Don't think son, just do.

*Jake is stunned as he walks into the donut shop.*
