"No." "I hate it here." "We're moving to Vermont." "Vermont?" "yeah." "I definitely am." "My sister's up there." "Yeah, my mom's there with my stepdad, like an hour away." "It's way better than here." "You heard what they said." "They're not your students, so... shall we?" "Todd?" "Great." "No." "This is wrong." "To you, it is, Mel." "Not to the rest of us." "Oh, wow." "This is..." "now you see what I have to put up with." "Mm-hmm." "But..." "I... hey." "Hey." "No, I do not approve of this!" "You went to RH.S. Too?" "Yeah." "Um, Leigh was actually valedictorian." "What were you?" "Um, I... well... leonard, it actually took me until after high school..." "To really focus." "Really?" "Oh, yeah." "Do not share this location with anyone unworthy." "Does the old lady have, like, a fuckin' shotgun for trespassers?" "She doesn't have a shotgun." "But if I find out any of your friends came here..." "And desecrated a tiger lily..." "Or littered, I will  have a shotgun." "That's cool." "What?" "Don't be an idiot." "Just..." "I wish I could impress that upon you." "Okay." "I know you think this town is bad..." "And, you know, you need to leave, but I don't think you realize how privileged this experience is." "How's it privileged?" "Nature, for one." "Excellent public school education, for two." "It's safe." "You're sheltered... which you never will be again." "Well, me and him get arrested one more time, we're tried as adults." "My classes suck, so... well, stop doing dumb shit, "a.""

"Mmm..." "Seven sisters." "You're 16." "You have your whole life ahead of you." "You have no idea how lucky you are right now." "Thank you for driving." "That was..." "Probably unfortunate." "Fuck you guys." " What?" " I really needed to have fun tonight." "And you didn't even care." "And you don't even... you never ask how I am or..." "Mel, what's... what's wrong?" "It's just really hard, trying to get pregnant." "I..." "I think that's normal, right?" "Isn't your life perfect?" "No!" "Oh!" "Hey." "Hey."

"I'm sleeping over." "Yes!" "I will prepare us cereal." "I'm so jealous of you." "Me?" "Why?" "Because you get to be lost." "It's okay." "Hey." "I thought you lived in fox crest." "Yeah." "And you were too fucked up to walk the 20 yards back to your bed?" "My mom kicked me out." "Because you were fucked up." "I'm gonna go puke." "Here." "Better be careful, man." "You pass out like that in Vermont, you froze in the snow." "Ah, the myth of Vermont." "Myth?" "Shee-at." "It's on the map." "Next week." "Well, that's just not gonna happen, man." "Yeah, yeah, yeah." "I know." "I know." "But that's why I'm trying to have a conversation with you about cap rates." "Right." "Exactly." "Yes." "Well, that's why I hired you." "Don't be an asshole about it." "No, we don't trust bankers." "We do not trust bankers." "Okay?" "We got this guy." "When he starts to push back, that's what you do." "It's sort of like..." "right."

" and someone complained?" "Or... is there an ordinance against it?" "I didn't think there was." "Ma'am, I'm gonna have to ask you to go away now." "Unless you have a valid reason to be cornering these underage youths, what you're doing right now is called harassment." "Maybe I should take you downtown for impeding an arrest." "Am I impeding an arrest?" "If you have a reason to arrest them and you can prove it, then, I mean, by all means take me down, 'cause I..." "I will understand." "No more skating." "But why, rick?" "You're a real piece of work." "You're kind of a bitch, actually." "I'm sorry." "What was that, Officer?" "You know I'm a reporter for the associated press, right?" "Fuckin' nuts." "So you're just gonna take some time off and then, uh..." "I mean, what, are you thinking of a career change, or, uh..." "Uh, I don't know." "Okay, well, are you gonna look for something else around here?" "Or were you gonna go back to the city once the pool closes?" " I have no idea." " okay." "That's..." "Good." "Good." "Ah, no." "No, thanks." "I will pass on that." "Uh, Leigh, evidently, will not." "Can you just keep..." "Drinking your beer?" "Yeah." "Let's try and have fun." "I know that it's weird, whatever." "But..." "Let's just try and have a good time." "Okay." "I can't believe it's not developed yet." "It's a park, John." "Nature." "It's "pra-served."" "We used to come when we were little." "Remember Leigh had all these plans about getting married under the arbor?" "I'm thinking it's water table issues." "Otherwise the city would've developed the shit out of this place by now." "What does this remind me of, Mel?" "It's like, uh, great expectations." "Right?" "Remember that?" "It's all overgrown and old and everything." "No way." "This is a piece of chandelier." "This is a crystal." "It's original." "I just found it." "Bullshit." "That's probably a hypodermic needle." "Let me see it." "No!" "'Cause better classes now at, you know, a better college." "I don't wanna go to college." "Okay." "What do you want?" "I don't know." "Something cool." "Something..." "Outside." "Wh-what does that mea..." "You have to be specific." "You can't just drift." "What?" "You seem really sad." "Well, it's just Leigh never seemed like the kind of person that would be lost." "You know?" "Me, on the other hand... yeah, well, you know, real life can be disappointing..." "When your expectations are so high." "I have high expectations." "You know what I'm talking about." "Everybody does." "Well, whatever." "Excuse me." "I'm not gonna hang out with those kids anymore." "Okay?" "Why not?" "We didn't smoke weed." "Seriously, Mel?" "I mean..." "Leigh is being a fucking idiot." "Okay?" "I mean, Todd wants to, like, rape those kids." "Hey." "Hey." "You can't say that." "Look, I just wanna hang out with adults." "Okay?" "Is that too much to ask?" "Great." ""Great"?" "Fine!" "Fine." "It's fine." "What are you doing?" "Slap my face..." "With your dick." "Wh..." "what's wrong with you?" "Hey." "Hey." "Hey, hey, hey, baby." "Hey." "I love you." "Okay?" "I love you." "Hey." "It's okay." "I did a story about a guy who kept a tiger in his apartment..." "In the city." "The tiger got sick and died." "Well, that'd be cool." "Right?" "To have a tiger as a pet." "And fuckin' invite everybody you hate to the house." "What?" "What?" "It's not cool." "It's sad." "It's incredibly sad." "This creature was kept..." "Against its will..." "In a totally unnatural environment for it." "And it was kept in, like, a cell..." "In someone's apartment..." "For their amusement." "But it was cruel, and it killed it." "Someone took this amazing thing that... that should have been running free..." "And kept it prisoner." "And it died." "And it was just... it wasn't even full grown." "Well, maybe, 'cause you wrote the article, you know... um, I-if somebody had an animal..."
