Ben is at a bar celebrating his birthday with his sister, Sara, and her Fiancé, Mark, but as of late, he’s been miserable over a recent breakup that’s turned his life upside down. When Mark discovers that Ben has been using a dating app on his phone for the whole night, he steals his phone and tells him that he’s not getting it back until he strikes up an in-person conversation with someone at the bar, just to get him out of his shell. Ben goes up to a girl, and the first thing that pops into his head is, “What’s your favorite dinosaur?” Ben rambles on, and the effort fails spectacularly. Sara then tells Ben to try again, but to actually listen. Again, the effort fails. 

 

Ben decides to ditch his friends and sit at the bar by himself, where he is approached by Julie, a similarly neurotic and heartbroken person, who tries to strike up a conversation with him. They challenge each other at first, but then they start to bond over their surface-level insecurities and end up really connecting with each other. They decide to ditch the bar and go somewhere else. A proud yet dumbfounded Mark and Sara look on as they leave, and Mark finally throws Ben his phone back.

“Dinosaur” is a 10-minute musical sequence that also functions as one song.
