Our Characters:
LUCY HALL: Enthusiastic grad student, assistant at Callen Embassy.
JEAAA: Ambassador from Callen, a friendly if obscure planet.
FADE IN:
(Street Corner outside of Callen Embassy in Washington, DC. Early afternoon.)
"Let It Snow" is being played by Salvation Army Santa.
LUCY HALL
Isn't the snow beautiful, Ambassador!
JEAAA
(Politely, blankly): Snow?
LUCY HALL
Oh, I forgot that you don't have snow on Callen. Snow is white and sparkling and right now it's covering everything like a frosty blanket.
JEAAA
I do not possess ocular sensory organs…. We on Callen visualize by our senses of touch and yael.
LUCY HALL
Touch, oh well then: snow is cold and wet and thrilling…. Water freezes into crystal flakes, which fall from the sky.
JEAAA
Oh! Is this crystalline form of water dangerous?
LUCY HALL
Only if you're out in it, not wearing enough clothes! Um, what is your sense of yael?
