"Why did you come here?" "I don't know." "I really don't." "Does it matter?" "I mean, come on, Richard." "You never believe anything I say, so why do you ever ask me anything?" "Maybe it's because I'm an honest person and I expect others to be honest." "Ha!" "Beware of the man who declares himself honest." "(laughter)" "I thought you cared about me." "I do." "I really do." "I just..." "This has gone far enough." "Are you sure?" "Are you really sure?" "My God, you don't remember, do you?" "You really don't remember." "All this time I thought... well, I was doing what I had to to live with it, and you must be doing something, though I never knew what, but the truth is you don't remember." "It's like it never happened." "I don't have any opinions about anything." "People my age always ask each other, what do you think about this?" "What's your opinion?" "Who are you voting for?" "And I search inside myself for an answer, and it's like I'm just empty in there." "Consider yourself lucky." "At least if you have no opinions, you can't be wrong." "You're not listening." "Jeez, Pollio, get out of your own head, will you?" "You're 18." "You're supposed to be having fun." "You know, when I was your age, there was only one thing you were allowed to be-- a man of the world, a goddamn man of the world." "Nowadays you be anything you want." "Can I tell you something I never told anybody before?" "Be careful." "I don't care!" "Son, you don't have to share that." "Maybe keep it to yourself until you're sure what it is." "Don't say anything" "I wish I were dead." "That's the truest thing I know." "(cheering and applause)" "♪♪" "You know what?" "Give me your phone." "What?" "Give me your phone." "Let me have it." "Why?" "Because enough already." "What are you talking about?" "You know, you're lucky to live in this city." "You're lucky that you get to see stuff like that." "You're lucky to be alive at all." "So?" "Well, so, in the most de-- in the most devastating moment of the play," "I look over and you're texting with your friends." "It's gross." "I wasn't texting." "It's really gross." "I saw you!" "I saw you texting!" "No, you saw me reading about the play." "Well, no, how do you appreciate a thing and google it at the same time?" "That's no way to live a life." "That's an insult to the actors to do that." "Because it was a great play and I wanted to know more about it while I was watching it." "Do you even know anything about the play?" "Yeah." "It's... a 1960s thing with a..." "Did you know that this play was banned in Russia and in Israel?" "Did you know that after he wrote it," "Shelby thought about killing himself?" "Did you know that he rewrote the ending 'cause he was afraid that it would cause other depressed people to kill themselves?" "Don't you wonder what that original ending was?" "But you missed the one th" "When the kid said at thing, you missed it." "No, I didn't." "He said, "I wish I were dead." "That's the truest thing I know."" "It was really sad, and it was beautiful." "I didn't cry like you 'cause I'm not a baby." "But just because I can appreciate something on two levels doesn't mean I don't deserve to have my phone." "Fine." "Take it." "I don't care." "Keep it." "Keep it." "Thanks for bringing me." "This was cool." "Sure."

"(shouting) I'm going now!" "Okay." "All right, call me when you get to Sonny's house, okay?" "Okay." "Seriously, call me." "Don't make me freak out." "Okay, you freak." "Shut up." "How are you getting there?" "I'm taking the M10 bus to 74 and walking two blocks." "Okay, just be careful, please, all right?" "Dad, it's 10:00 a.m." "No one gets raped or killed on a Saturday morning" "Stop it!" "Don't say stuff like that!" "(chuckles)" "Jesus!" "Love you." "Bye." "Love you, too." "Jesus." "(sighs)" "What is "raped"?" "It's just bad." "It's a bad thing." "Bad things." "Financial thing." "Mm." "When are my friends gonna start arriving for the sleepover?" "I kind of hope not ever." "Hey!" "Well, maybe they forgot and then we can take a nap." "Wait, can we make a sundae-making station?" "A what?" "Well, it's gonna be all laid out." "Everyone can make their own ice cream sundae." "I needed that request yesterday, Jane." "You can't" " You can't" "I can't spirit up a sundae station." "(doorbell) I can't go shopping now." "Yay!" "Hey." "Hi, Shasta." "Hi, Shasta." "Bye, babe." "How are you, Shasta?" "Hey, Joy." "Hey." "You want to get a water or something before you go?" "Oh, no." "No, I can't." "Whiskey?" "Something" "(chuckling) No." "No?" "You have quite a day ahead of you." "Yeah, I got quite a-- How many girls?" "I think eight, but it could be nine or twelve." "I have no" " I lost track of all the e-mails with the" "Why did you start so early?" "I don't know." "I really don't." "Well, look, I might have to be a little late picking her up tomorrow." "Is that okay?" "That's fine." "I mean, what's-- We have mediation at 10:00." "Chuck and I are divorcing." "Oh, okay." "Okay." "Well..." "Yeah, so things are... they're a mess." "Right, right." "So, if she's being..." "Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah." "Okay, yeah." "Yeah, yeah, yeah, so..." "Well, I" " I would-- I would say I'm sorry, but I know that-- I mean, I went through it, so I know that that doesn't help anybody." "It's not-- Yeah, yeah." "It's just" "It sucks." "(chuckles)" "Yes, it does." "Yeah, so, um, anyway, just, ah, have fun." "(chuckles) Okay." "Bye." "Bye." "♪♪" "(Jane) And then they zoomed in on it, and then they see a kitten coming out of the turkey." "(Shasta) Oh, my God!" "I know." "It was, like, in the turkey, you know?" "In, like, the little part where they stuff the turkey." "Oh, my God, I just remembered." "I should be wearing my pink clothes today because I'm turning 10." "(dishes clattering)" "Hey, Shasta." "Hey, I've known you since you were in kindergarten." "Yeah." "That's true." "Mm-hmm." "So, you know..." "You know, I was your age when my parents got divorced, and, you know, Jane was, uh, well, five, when her mom and I split up." "So, I don't know, I just" "I wanted to just say I know" "I know what it's like, you know?" "But my parents are together." "Yeah." "No, yes, they are." "No, I just-- I just..." "I just thought I would... mention some things about... my life and... (doorbell) so you..." "(Jane) Yay!" "(girls) Happy birthday!" "(girl) Whoo!" "(girls laughing and shrieking) ♪♪" "Daddy, order the pizza now!" "Daddy, it's time to order the pizza now." "Okay." "(laughing and shrieking continue)" "Hello?" "Hi, can" "I need a pizza delivered, please." "Yeah." "Yes, yes, please." "Yeah, two large pies, yes." "Uh, one cheese and one, uh, half cheese and half... cheese." "Yeah." "Yes, that would be-- Yeah, one" "Okay, thank you." "Please, quick." "I have a lot of children here, and it's very-- it's very bad here now." "Thank you very much." "Okay, bye."

"Uh... well, um... please don't get all" "I mean... we're broken up." "Yeah?" "But so, I was thinking about how you are to talk to and, uh... how I... sometimes think about how I like to, um... sometimes have involvement and sometimes... we don't, so..." "You miss me." "What?" "No." "No, you don't miss me at all." "Oh, shit." "(sighs)" "Listen, it's-- it's okay." "I mean... sometimes what you want and what you feel aren't always the same thing." "Yeah." "That's really true." "Well, I don't have any trouble saying it." "I miss the shit out of your stupid tits." "Yeah." "They're both pretty stupid." "(sniffles) They both flunked out of tit school." "Yeah?" "The left one is, like, almost clinically retarded." "I want to come on your retarded tits." "(chuckling)" "I'm hanging up now." "Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, please." "What?" "Well, what are you doing right now?" "What do you mean?" "I mean, where are you and what are you doing?" "I'm... home and I'm talking to you." "No, I mean, like, are you sitting?" "Are you standing?" "What exactly are you doing?" "Why?" "Because I'm always wondering that." "I'm always" " I'm always wondering where you are and-- and where you're standing and what exactly you're up to." "You are?" "Yeah, all the time." "(sighs) Well..." "I'm sitting on my couch." "My legs are stretched out and crossed one over the other." "Which leg is on top?" "The right one." "My hand is on the phone, which is on my face." "What happened?" "You only have one hand now?" "No." "The other's in my lap and..." "Are you trying to turn me on right now?" "Why, are" "Are you-- Are you, um" "Are you being that?" "Well, I'm not saying, but I may be interested in what you right now may be wearing." "I'm, uh..." "I'm wearing jeans and a T-shirt." "Well, take your pants off, then." "You want me to?" "Yeah, I do." "Wait." "You take off your pants first." "No!" "Yes." "Ugh." "Okay, there." "You didn't really do it." "I want to hear you do it." "You want to hear me take my pants off?"

"I was eating a sandwich, and then all of a sudden, she just fell, so I started to help her." "What'd you do with the sandwich?" "I gave it to this guy." "He was sitting there, and he-- and he looked really hungry." "(girl) Oh, that's so nice." "(girl 2) That's really sweet." "(Bobby) So, you know, I started helping her, and she said for helping her that she wanted to give me a special gift." "What did she give you?" "She gave me a goat." "Wait, really?" "An old lady gave you a goat?" "Yeah." "Aww." "Did she give you the goat before she fell down?" "I don't know." "She just gave me the goat." "So, then what happened?" "I don't know." "I started walking around with this goat, and it was cool, you know, but I didn't know what to do with it." "Then he got loose." "Just, gone, yeah." "And then" " And then the cops showed up." "And the police officer, he said he wanted to put him to sleep." "(girls) No!" "No!" "(Bobby) Yeah." "Yeah, that's what I said." "I put up such a fight, they arrested me." "(girl) What happened to the goat?" "(Bobby) I don't know." "I saw it running down the subway stairs, so I guess it lives in the subway now." "(Jane) Is that a true story?" "Yes, that is a true story." "In fact, I asked the policeman at the station, and he told me exactly the same story, so... (girls) Wow!" "Yeah." "♪♪" "Oh, yeah."
