MATT JACOBSON, a tall teenager, is in a stereotypical office. When he accidentally bumps into another person.

Sorry
EXT. Train station
Matt is in a well maintained c2c train station. Matt is sitting on a pink clean bench. A stranger comes along knocks Matt's bag off aggressively and sits next to him.
MATT
Sorry
INT. Building
Matt is in, the same office building, in line when a stranger cuts in front of him.
MATT
Sorry
EXT. Field
Matt is on a dirty bench making notes, on a battered notepad, while a rough football match is taking place. Then a football slams into him, hard, knocking him to the ground.
MATT
Sorry
ADAM WOOD, a teenager the same height as Matt, then picks him up.
MATT
Sorry
ADAM
You have got to stop apologising
MATT
Sorry
ADAM
Well our disappointment of a team are behind, so lets go home
EXT. Street
Matt and Adam are walking down an abandoned street, with litter on the gap between road and path.
Adam
Whats the reason to why you keep saying sorry
Matt
It's meant to be common courtesy
Adam
Well yeah, but other people don't do the same, so why should you. Look at me for example. I do what I want, when I want, letting nobody in the way. You could learn a thing or two from me.
Matt is bumped into by a stranger.
Matt
Sorry
Adam
Hit me
Matt
Why on earth would I do that
Adam
It will let you know what it feels like to be less polite, which will in turn stop you saying sorry.
Matt
Sorry... I wont harm you
Adam
You see i could easily stop saying sorry because I can adapt to do anything I put my mind to. That is why my life is so great and yours is so...
Adam accidentally steps on Matt's foot.
Adam
Aren't you going to apologise?
Matt punches Adam in the face knocking him to the ground.
Matt
Maybe I can't stop saying sorry but don't tell me your better than me. Your love life is terrible. Yeah I know about CARRIE is cheating on you with that guy in her college. You have worse grades than me and you are a sore loser. I could forgive all of that if you weren't such a bad friend.
Adam
That hurt my feelings
Matt
Sorry
