Social media rating system destroying relationships
Lacie Pound, Ryan8 lines
Full Script
Lacie Pound: My rating dropped to 3.2. Three point two! Do you know what that means?
Ryan: It means you're still the same person you were yesterday.
Lacie Pound: No! It means I can't get the apartment. Can't get the job. Can't get the life I want!
Ryan: Maybe the life you want isn't worth having if it depends on strangers' opinions.
Lacie Pound: Easy for you to say. You're a 4.6.
Ryan: I'm a person. Just like you. The number doesn't change that.
Lacie Pound: The number changes everything.
Ryan: Only if you let it.
