ELLISON Your shit’s getting weird, man. MIKE Guy’s I’m good. Nobody has to worry about me! I’m fine.
But he SLAMS HIS COFFEE DOWN too hard, spilling everywhere. Everyone is quiet. Joel, the diplomat, smoothes things over. JOEL No big deal. Just a spill. What do you say we go cobble together a paycheck? Tone & I’s DANCE MONKEY plays us through a MONTAGE of Mike’s day in the gig economy... EXT. PARK - DAY Mike walks FOUR DOGS, PAST A COLORFUL MURAL (Detroit is full of them). He waits while one goes to the bathroom, pulling a plastic bag from his pocket... INT. MIKE’S CAR/MOVING - DAY A LYFT sign is lit in his windshield. QUICK CUTS of different passengers: A TEENAGER, A BUSINESSMAN, AN OLD LADY who needs help getting in the car. Mike has the patience of a saint. EXT. NICE APARTMENT - DAY Mike walks up with a bag of take out. Buzzes an apartment. MIKE Postmates! EXT. DETROIT - BUS STOP - NIGHT Mike gets out of a van and rounds up BIRD SCOOTERS abandoned on the sidewalk. He doesn’t notice THE BIG LEAP poster on the bus stop. INT. MIKE’S CAR - MOVING - NIGHT Now an UBER sign is lit in his windshield. TWO GUYS sit in the back seat. Out of nowhere one of them THROWS UP. The other one starts LAUGHING....
