“ oh, well that sounds really cool, actually. are you studying filmmaking, or are you just taking a class on it? i’d be fine doing it, yeah, it’s just – are you sure you want to film me? ” 

“ oh, it’s just a course. i can’t tell you what i’m studying at the moment because i’m not even sure of it myself yet. -- sure. why not ? you’ve got the whole modern grace kelly look going on. besides, the first four people i asked not-so-kindly declined. unless you don’t want to, of course. then i’ll just go pester someone else. ”

I promise you, it’ll only take a minute. ..Maybe three. Can you please help me move something? See, I just moved here a week ago and I finally managed to find an ample enough sofa at some yard sale, but I kind of live on the sixth floor. And I’ve been trying to get it up there myself to avoid this exact encounter, but I think you can imagine how that turned out. I have half a bag of Cheez-Its and my eternal gratitude to offer in return?

“ i have this project i’m working on for class -- for some reason, i decided to take a go at filmmaking and well, the first project is a short film about the word ‘happy’. i was wondering if you’d be okay with me taking a short clip of you explaining what the word ‘happy’ means to you ? only if you’re okay with it, of course. totally fine if you’re.. camera shy or whatever. ”

I have a pen in here ‘cause I’m always on a plane and they give you that customs form and I never have a pen to fill it out with. Jokes on you ‘cause now I got one all the time.
