Synopsis:
A lull in a conversation can be comfortable between friends but awkward with a stranger. When two uncharacteristic people are uncertain of what occurred before the silence, motivations become confused. A humorous test may help classify the silence, but will they both be comfortable when the conversation stops? This absurd comedy takes the need to read the morning paper and the desire for friendly conversation to new heights.

Cypher, Amanda, and the third man go through four related and unrelated segments in this drama on psychotherapy, sexual fantasy, and the all-American pastime--baseball.
