A man, DAVO, sitting alone on the couch, nursing his beer in the twilight and absently watching some blaring game show.
Another man appears behind him, slowly becoming solid. He speaks.
GHOST: I'm so sorry. I was an arsehole to you. I deserve hell.
Davo flicks off the telly.
DAVO: Nah, you were alright.
He gestures imperceptibly. The ghost takes a seat opposite.
They sit in silence.
DAVO: Beer?
The ghost doesn't answer.
DAVO: I thought you were gone.
GHOST: I am.
DAVO: You're clearly not.
GHOST: After this. After this I'm gone forever.
Davo takes a long swig and contemplates the bottle.
DAVO: So.
GHOST: So...
