The Lunch Date	comment	The Lunch Date is a 1989 short film (ten minutes) written and directed by Adam Davidson.A well-to-do fifty-ish white woman is in a train station, rushing to catch a train. She seems ill at ease, especially around black men; she practically recoils in fear when she bumps into a well-dressed black man and drops her purse. She refuses his help as she gathers up her belongings. She misses the train and then discovers that she can't find her wallet.With little else in the way of options she goes into a diner and buys a salad. She puts down the salad, goes back to get a fork and napkin, only to find on her return a homeless black man sitting at her table and eating her salad. Or so she thinks.

The Lunch Date / int_1da5941e	comment	The Quiet One: Other than an inarticulate yell when the woman first tries to take the salad, the homeless man never says a word, even when she starts eating off of his plate and when he buys her a cup of coffee.

The Lunch Date / int_1ea248b4	comment	Neat Freak: The woman is rather fussy, wiping down the table in the diner and wiping down her fork. This only adds to her unease when a homeless man shows up in her booth.
