 In a café, Sam sits looking at the menu. He has trouble deciding what to order. A blond woman, his age, enters and sits a few tables away. Sam imagines several attempts at conversation with her; each of his ice breakers is inept. Around him we hear the conversations at other tables, most of them odd, even bizarre. Occasionally Sam s eyes meet those of the blond. Will they connect? Maybe she ll walk to his table and engage him. Can either screw their courage to the sticking point?
