Three men at a picnic table with coffee or sugar drinks from a coffee store.
Norman: So what’ve you been listening to?
Maypole: Wooo, a lot of good stuff.
Norman: Yeah?
Maypole: Yeah, just, like, all sorts of things.
Norman: Like?
Maypole: Umm…okay, I’m visualizing my desk and there’s a CD on there and it’s…My Morning Jacket.
Norman: Oh, cool.
Maypole: (relieved) You know them?
Norman: No. (genuinely interested) What do they sound like?
Maypole: Rock, country-ish, kind of distant.
Norman: Dissoant?
Maypole: No, distant–like lots of reverb.
Norman: Oh, oh. Right on.
Lawrence: Yeah, I saw them last year at Bonaroo.
Maypole: Cool. Good show?
Lawrence: Fantastic show.
Maypole: Sweet. (to Norman) What are you listening to lately?
Norman: Dylan, Beatles, Bowie–the greats. Oh yeah, a lot of Leonard Cohen.
Maypole: I love “Suzanne”.
Lawrence: Who?
Norman: Leonard Cohen.
Lawrence: Not familiar. Did he have any popular songs?
Norman: Yeah, probably his most famous is “Hallelujah“.
Lawrence: (apologetic) I don’t think I know that one.
Norman: Oh, come on. It’ like, “Hal-le-luuuuuu-jah….”
Lawrence: Mmm..
Norman: (singing louder) “Hal-le-LUUUUUUU-jah…
Maypole: I don’t know it either.
Norman: (wanting to share this with Lawrence; oblivious to Maypole) “…Hal-LE-LUUUUU-jah.”
Lawrence: Oh yeah, (lying) that one.
Norman: Yeah!
