Anonymous Script (Untitled)

The other day, in the middle of Music class, an idea for a script dawned upon me. So I took a few minutes while my teacher was rambling, and wrote down what came to me. On spare today, I annotated it. I added to it. I edited it. And here's what I have so far...

(Couple is embracing in a hug. The woman pulls away)

Woman: I feel empty.
Man: Why empty?
Woman: You make me feel empty.
Man: I make you feel empty?
Woman: (nods)
(pause)
Man: Well, the cup can't always be half full.
Woman: Listen to yourself. What happened when I was gone that made you like this?
Man: Like what?
Woman: So bitter.
Man: I'm the exact same person as I was before you left. You're making something out of nothing here.
Woman: Why must you make me feel this way?
Man: What way?
Woman: Empty!
(pause)
Man: Empty.
Woman: Yes, empty.
Man: Why empty?
(pause)
Man: Please. Answer me.
Woman: How is she?
Man: What are you talking abou-
Woman: -You know exactly what I'm talking about. I'm not stupid. I'm not oblivious here.
Man: How did you...?
Woman: I can smell her on your shirt.
Man: I love you. You believe that right?
Woman: Most days I do.
Man: And what about today?
Woman: Well. Today's different.
Man: Why is today any different?
Woman: Because today I can't feel a thing.
(pause)
Man: You're empty.
Woman: Yes. I am.
Man: Me too.
