I see weird people!

Doduti:
I want to tell you my secret now.

*Malcolm blinks very slowly.

Malcolm:
Okay.

*Doduti takes an eternal pause. A silent tension engulfs them both.

Doduti:
...I see people.

*Malcolm just gazes quietly.

Doduti:
I see weird people... Some of them scare me.

Malcolm:
In your dreams?

*Doduti shakes her head, "No."

Malcolm:
When you're awake?

*Doduti nods, "Yes."

Malcolm:
Weird people, like in movies or bad tv shows?

Doduti:
No, walking around, like regular people... They can't see each other. Most of them don't know they're weird.

Malcolm:
They don't know they're weird?

Doduti:
They think they're normal! They think they're cool!

*Malcolm becomes completely motionless. Works to hide his shock. He and Doduti stare at each other a long time.

Doduti:
They tell me stories... Things that happened to them... Things that happened to people they know. And I didn't even ask!

*Malcolm's words are extra-controlled. Revealing nothing.

Malcolm:
How often do you see them?

Doduti:
All the time. They're everywhere, some of them are in Twitter, some of them have blogs.

*Malcolm realizes that he's in the wrong movie. The agreement was to deal with ghosts, not with nerds.
