Practicing writing for a cheaply made short

In learning about film-making on the cheap, I realised just how bloody expensive it all is and how incredibly complex even the seemingly simplest of scenes can be to organise and shoot. Every idea I came up with came up against a rather large wall of "Nope."

So I started trying to think of scripts that could be made cheaply and easily. This is a practice one I did awhile back and since I doubt I'll ever use it, I figured I'd see what feedback I could get on it.

While not incredible, your dialogue is reasonable and flows well. I'm sure you're well aware that there's no "story" here, just two people talking. But as far as that goes, it seems decent enough to me. Why not shoot it? I'm sure you'll still learn a lot from it.
