Daniel breaks up with his girlfriend Lisa over the phone. That evening, his Justice League collectible dolls seem to come to life and attack him in his apartment. He calls his friend Terry for help. When Terry arrives, he finds Daniel tied up, claiming the dolls were responsible. However, the dolls have disappeared. Terry doesn't believe Daniel's story and thinks he's gone crazy. Daniel throws the dolls in the trash, but a stranger retrieves them.
2. INT. APARTMENT - DAY
Daniel walks out of his room, into the living room.
He grabs his keys, and then receives a phone call.
He looks at his phone and then answers it.
DANIEL
What do you want Lisa?
LISA
Why haven’t you been returning my
calls? I’ve been trying to reach
you for two weeks.
DANIEL
It’s not obvious?
LISA
What are you talking about?
DANIEL
I don’t wanna see you anymore.
LISA
What?! Why?
DANIEL
Cause you’re a very boring person
and I think we should see other
people.
LISA
I’m boring?! You play video-games
for twenty-four hours a day and
smells like rotten cheese?
DANIEL
Whoa! I’m trying to be as nice as I
can. We had fun and now it’s time
to move on.
LISA
You know what Daniel, what everyone
says about you is true. Surrounding
yourself with comics and
video-games and dolls, instead of
people who actually care about you
is gonna bite you in the ass. You
little evil nerdy bastard!
