SCOTT COHEN
------------------------------------
"Always Start With A Joke"

Why do people laugh when someone tells a joke? Scott thought he knew the answer to this question. It's because the joke is over. Scott had heard and retold thousands of jokes before his seventh birthday. He was intimately familiar with the pattern.
Step 1: Say some words;
Step 2: Pause;
Step 3: Say some more words;
Step 4: Everybody laughs.
Every joke was the same, until he heard the one about the elephant and the naked man. What the elephant said, changed his world, forever.

LISA CHU
------------------------------------
"Bad Asian Daughter"

"Dr." Lisa Chu has shown up in a music improvisation class, with no intention of actually improvising. She is perfectly content watching other people jamming to the blues. That is, until it's her turn to solo. Frozen with fear, it's four words spoken by a compassionate teacher that seem to save the day: "Play the wrong note." The question is, which wrong note is she supposed to play?

SUSIE CHANG
------------------------------------
"We are tired. We are hungry. We are Chinese."

Susie is happily laying in bed when she hears a voice. Not the usual chatter in her mind, but a voice from outside of herself, a voice from beyond. It has a message for her - one no doubt, full of depth and truth. It tells her to dig in the trash. What she finds makes her confront her views on love, honesty, and just how Chinese she really is.

SARAH ELOVICH
------------------------------------
"I'm All Yin"

When Sarah wanders into a snake shop on her lunch break, she realizes she's been working in a modern day Garden of Eden. But her body is running out of eggs, Adam hasn't showed up yet, and the forbidden tree doesn't even grow apples. What if the ancient story is true and her entire life is actually a curse?
