MIA: A new tenant, unpacking boxes.
[SCENE START]
SETTING: A studio apartment. Mia drops a stack of books.
CASPER: Those should go by the window. Better light for reading.
MIA: (Screams, throws a pillow at him) Who are you?! How did you get in here?
CASPER: (The pillow passes through him) I’m the previous tenant. Mostly.
MIA: Oh my god. I’m being haunted. This is it. This is how I die.
CASPER: Relax. I don’t do the rattling chains thing. It’s bad for the joints. I just wanted to tell you that the radiator clicks in threes. If it clicks four times, call the super. It means the pipes are bored.
MIA: (Hyperventilating) You’re... you’re a ghost.
CASPER: And you’re a person who puts "The Great Gatsby" next to "Twilight." We both have issues.
MIA: Can you at least help me move the dresser?
CASPER: (Looks at his transparent hands) I can’t lift wood, Mia. But I can make the lights flicker if you’re ever having a party and want to get people to leave.
MIA: (Pause) Actually... that might be useful.
CASPER: We’re going to be great roommates.
