The moment Mandy opens the door we are flooded with a cacophony of SOUND! Harrison steps outside and from his perspective the world is a fucking war zone. A passing bus sounds like a fighter jet passing inches away. A teenager sails by him a little too close on a skateboard, terrifying him. The sunlight is blinding. Every ambient sound amplified. To Harrison, there is no way you could tell he is walking through this idyllic street of row houses in Chicago. MANDY (CONT’D) (through headset) You’re doing great. How do you feel? HARRISON Very, very bad. MANDY (through headset) Just a half block more. HARRISON What if that person looks at me! MANDY (through headset) It’s okay. HARRISON He’s looking at me!! MANDY (through headset) It’s fine. I’m right here. Harrison puts his open hand over the side of his face, shielding him from seeing the person he is passing. HARRISON There it is! Harrison is within steps of the coffee shop. A CUTE WAITRESS who is clearing an outdoor table flashes a smile at Harrison. Harrison literally yelps. HARRISON (CONT’D) That waitress just smiled at me. MANDY See? Good things happen when you go outside. BARK BARK BARK! A dog appears out of nowhere, violently barking at Harrison. Harrison goes into an immediate panic screaming, his arms flailing, which only incites the dog.
