Voiceover (Ben): “This is a tale of insanity. [Pause] It starts with a rather odd meeting in a coffee shop."
[Zooms slowly in on him until it is a close up of his face]
"It was a place where the student psychologists from the nearby University took their breaks.
[Eyes look towards something off camera]
Here was one now."
