We humans have evolved to categorize strangers the moment we see them. Their clothing, hairstyle, car, the work they do, even the room where we happen to find them can offer clues as to which tribe we must place them. We may regard the stranger as an inferior “they” and “them.” We learn how to become strongly associated with the obviously superior “we” and “us” by carefully choosing the “correct” friends, fashions, jobs, political parties, mannerisms and other outward signs. In The Real Deal we present a scene from a story that the viewer can write while having to accept the reality that the three people in the room are female identical triplets. –Cary
