Vie-Agra.

A doorway. A visitor knocks on the door. The resident answers.

Resident : Yes?
Visitor : I'm John.
Resident : Do I know you?
Visitor : Yes. We've emailed a couple times.
Resident : Have we?
Visitor : That's right.
Resident : John. John. John.
Visitor : You know, awesomejohn at go dot com?
Resident : I'm sorry. I don't. Did we meet on like, a chat board or something?
Visitor : Well, no. Did you get my emails?
Resident : I can't say I have. This is a joke, right?
Visitor : A joke?
Resident : One of my buddies set you up for this, right?
Visitor : No. I've come from Montana to see you.
Resident : This a joke. Do you even know my name.
Visitor : Gary.
Resident : Oh.
Visitor : Why don't I read to you the email you sent me. It was quite lovely. The subject reads "Nab-luh is bargain, but complementarity." Date : Tuesday February 14th. There's a man's picture. He looks like a doctor. He looks like he knows what he's going to say. "It's ime to save on medicines! More than 900 meds, among generics and branded meds!

There is another pause.

Visitor : A little unfocused at times, and some grammar errors, but I found it endearing.
Resident : I.. don't know what you're talking about.
Visitor : But I replied to it? You didn't send this to me?
Resident : No.
Visitor : Oh gosh. I'm sorry. Does someone else live here? Maybe you aren't the right person. Who else lives here?
Resident : Nobody.
Visitor : But you do have a computer?
Resident : Yes.
Visitor : I got your IP address. I tracked you down. I thought that. I thought.

A young boy's voice from inside.

Voice : Dad, I'm done with the computer!

There is a long pause.

Visitor : I should be going.
Resident : Yeah.
