Why Some People Shouldn't Talk

Him and Her stand outside smoking. They have never met until this moment. Inside is a party. He maintains eye contact, she only does during the pauses.

Him : How long have been with this company?
Her : Oh, a couple years.
Him : Cool.

Pause.

Him : So are you from San Francisco then?
Her : No one who lives in San Francisco is from there.
Him : Oh, haha. Yeah. I could see that.

Pause.

Him : I used to live in California. I had to have been six. The only thing I remember about San Francisco is the crooked road.
Her : Yeah, only tourists go there.
Him : Oh yeah?

Pause.

Having finished her cigarette, Her goes into the party. Him stays there.
