: If you feel like it, this is the way I have it. Its a little different, but like
: 70% the same. See if I should just run with it or just try again.
: 19 Int. Chris? house, his room.
: Chris is on his bed laying down, Jack is on his couch.
: Jack:(angry) What? What?s with you? You haven?t said anything for
: like 20 minutes. What the hell is your problem?
: Chris: This life.
: Jack: This life?
: Chris: Why do I have this life?
: Jack: Have some chips; you?ll feel better.
: Chris: I?m stuck in this pit, dealing with ever backward fuck in
: Chelmsford, and my girlfriend is catatonic after drinking 10
: margaritas in less than an hour.
: Jack: 12
: Chris: My life is in the shitter right now, so if you don?t mind, I?d like to
: stew a bit.
: Jack: That?s all bull shit, man. You know what your real problem here
: is?
: Chris: I was born?
: Jack: You should shit or get off the pot.
: Chris: I should shit or get off the pot.
: Jack: Yeah, you should shit or get off the pot.
: Chris: What are you talking about?
: Jack: I?m talking about this thing you have...this inability to improve
: your station in life.
: Chris: Fuck you.
: Jack: It?s true. You?ll sit there and blame life for dealing you a cruddy
: hand, never once accepting the responsibility for the way your
: situation is.
: Chris: What responsibility?
: Jack: If you hate your job, and the people at school. Then quit.
: Chris: As if it?s that easy.
: Jack: It is. You just up and quit. There are things you can do other
: than school. More educational things, like prostitution.
: Chris: Leave me alone.
: Jack: Oh, you?re comfortable. This is a life of convenience for you, and
: any attempt to change it would shatter the pathetic microcosm you?ve
: fashioned for yourself.
: Chris: Oh, like your life is any better.
: Jack: I?m satisfied with my station for now. You don?t hear me
: bitching. You on the other hand, have been bitching all day.
: Chris: Thank you. Why don?t you go home?
: Jack: Man, if you weren?t such a fucking coward...
: Chris: If I wasn?t such a fucking coward.(Chuckles) It must be great to
: simplify things the way you do.
: Jack: Am I right or what?
: Chris: You?re wrong. Things happened today. Things that probably
: ruined my chances with Sarah.
: Jack: What? The margaritas? She?ll get over that.
: Chris: Sarah and I can?t be together. It?s impossible.
: Jack: Melodrama coming from your mouth seems as natural as an
: oral bowel movement.
: Chris: What do you want me to say? Yes, I suppose some of the
: things you?re saying are true. But that?s the way things are;it?s not
: going to change.
: Jack: Make them change.
: Chris: I can?t! Jesus, would you leave me alone? I can?t make
: changes in my life like that.If I could, I would-but I don?t have the ability
: to risk comfortable situations on the big money and the fabulous
: prizes.
: Jack: Who are you kidding? You can so.
: Chris: Jesus H. Christ! I can?t!
: Jack: So you?ll continue being miserable all the time, just because
: you don?t have the guts to face change?
: Chris: (Sadly) My mother told me once that when I was three, my potty
: lid was closed, and instead of lifting it, I chose to shit my pants.
: Jack: Lovely story.
: Chris: Point is-I?m not the kind of person that disrupts thing just so I
: can shit comfortably.
