Find a character. Use one from a popular television show, a recent movie, something you've written, or you can even use yourself. Now, roll a die three times. Got your three numbers? The first one is where your character is:

2. at the airport
3. in the vegetable aisle at the grocery store
4. in the parking lot of a car rental establishment
5. in the lobby of a hotel
6. in the White House
The second number is who your character meets unexpectedly:
1. a homeless person
2. a man in an expensive business suit
3. a lawyer
4. their third-grade teacher
5. a census-taker
6. their housekeeper
They start a conversation, about:
1. an extension for the due date of a loan
2. a salary increase
3. neutering the cat
4. refinancing the house
5. their best friend's fiancee (who's cheating)
