While waiting for the light to change, AARON stands by at a crosswalk. A bunch of people have just gotten off a bus nearby and some join AARON as he waits. A tall black GUY gazes down at AARON’S pants.
GUY: Sweet pink pants.
AARON: Thank you.
GUY: You ever talked to a Mormon before?
AARON is nonplussed, as he doesn’t see the connection between pink pants and Mormons. Do Mormons hate pink pants too?
AARON: Uh, yeah.
The light changes and people start walking across the street.
GUY: And? How was it?
AARON: Um… interesting.
GUY: How so?
AARON: They weren’t as mean as I thought they would be.
GUY laughs.
AARON: Have you ever talked to a Mormon?
GUY: I am a Mormon.
AARON finally notices the familiar nametag on GUY’s shirt: ELDER something or rather.
AARON: Oh.
