An exciting story of love which ended in tragedy and comedy. It began with a law student teaching his beloved logic and educating her with the fallacies. His effort, however, backfired.
This was originally written by Max Shulman, the author of a number of light novels that demonstrate his humorous satire.
This story is in script-form because this wonderful story is going to be used for our Short Film (A logic project).

LS: Cool was I and logical. Keen, calculating perspicacious, acute and astute---I was all of these. My brain was as powerful as a dynamo, as precise as a chemist's scales, as penetrating as a scalpel..... And think of it! 18 years old lang ako.
Pero not all people ay nabibiyayaan ng ganitong gift. Halimbawa na lang yung room mate at well, kaibigan ko. Si Petey. Petey Bellows. He's the kind of person na gustung-gustong sumasabay sa uso. Kailangan lahat ng trend meron siya. Nakakainis. In short, a faddist. For me, this kind of attitude is the highest form of mindlessness and idiocy. Di ko alam kung bakit naging kaibigan ko 'to. One afternoon...
Petey: (Nakahiga. Distressed.)
LS: Ano nangyari sayo? Wag kang iinom ng gamot. I'll get you a doctor.
Petey: Raccoon...
LS: Raccoon?
Petey: I want a raccoon coat....
LS: Okay. So wala kang sakit physically. Sa utak pala. Hayy. What's new. Why do you want a raccoon coat?
Petey: Kung alam ko lang.... kung alam ko lang.. Edi sana yung pera ko pinambili ko na lang ng raccoon coat imbes yung mga punyetang libro na hindi ko naman babasahin at bubuklatin ko lang.. Raccoon cooooaaaaaat!
LS: Bakit gusto mo ba non? Raccoon coats are unsanitary. They tend to stink. They shed and they weigh too much! Wag mong sabihin sakin na kaya mo yan gusto ay dahil meron nyan yung mga iniidolize mong basura?!
Petey: All the Big Men on campus are wearing them.... Di din ako makakakasama sa swim kapag wala ako non.
LS: I knew it!
Petey: Lahat gagawin ko para makakuha nun... Lahat!!!!!!!
LS: Anything?
Petey: ANYTHING!
Next morning...
LS: (Holding a raccoon coat)
Petey: OH MY!!!! San ka nakakuha nyan?!
LS: My father used to own this. Nakatago na lang sya ngayon.
Petey: THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! YOU'RE A GOOD FRIEND. (akmang hahalik)
LS: Hep hep! (pipigilan) Anong good friend good friend ka dyan?
Petey: Sus. Alam ko na. So anong kapalit?
LS: Your girl.......
Petey: Si Polly Espy?!
LS: Yes. Siyang siya nga.
(Video of Polly Espy)
Petey: NO WAY.
LS: Swim or Polly?
Petey: POLLY!
LS: Oh okay. Sige ipapamigay ko na lang to sa mas nangangailangan o kaya ipagbibili ko na lang. Edi nagkapera pa---
Petey: Hindi naman ako inlove kay Polly. Wala nga kaming relasyon. Ano eh... nagtatawanan lang kame. Ganun lang. Casual. Kaya akin na 'yan. Sayo na sya. Deal?
