Straight to You: A Morality Play

This is a morality play I wrote:

INT. LIBRARY-NIGHT
JOHN sits at a table in the library working on his homework on an apple laptop. He is tired. It is 2 AM.
JOHN: All I want to do is listen to the Nick Cave song "Straight to You". Hey wait a minute, I could watch the video on youtube!!!

John looks in his bag to see if he brought his headphones. He did not.

JOHN: This is the worst thing that has ever happened to me.

THE END

While short, my morality play is quite dense and ambiguous. I understand that many might not easily grasp the moral of my morality play. It is only because I care that I will explain the moral, so as to help those who need it: the moral of my morality play is to always bring your headphones with you.
