Professor

  OUTSIDE PARK - PRESENT DAY

  Higgs is across the street from the cafe that he just recently left. He squints and touches the side of his head in discomfort.

  VOICE (OS)

  Who are you?

  HIGGS

  Ah, not you again. Bug off.

  VOICE

  Again? Have we communicated before?

  HIGGS

  Ya, ya, you found me again with your stupid helmet. I told you to leave me alone. There's no point.

  VOICE

  Why can't I remember you?

  HIGGS

  You're not the only one.

  There is a short pause as Higgs looks into the distance, helpless.

  VOICE

  My name is Charles. I run a school for the gifted in Westchester. Find me after I forget you.

  Higgs shakes his head and lets out a sigh.

  HIGGS

  Ya sure mister. And what would you like me to say to you when I find you, and you look at me like "who the hell are you"?

  VOICE

  Approach me exactly at 10AM. I have set a telepathic alarm reminding me of your existence.
