??There are not many chances in life to be happy
and I think that we have a good one now.?
B: you planning on coming in? If you?re looking for someone, there?s no one else here.
J: for a change. Is that a new coffee table?
B: Mies Vandero
J: it must have cost a fortune.
B: yea.
J: I went by the bursar�s office today. I can?t accept it.
B: what?
J: tuition
B: oh, that. Why, is someone else covering it?
J: no.
B: well, then, you can?t afford not to.
J: but we?re not together anymore.
B: we signed an agreement: I pay for your school, you pay me back. With interest.
J: you don?t have to honor it.
B: a deal?s a deal.
J: I could be poor for a long time.
B: yea, well, knowing your taste you better not be.
J: it?s not like I have a shit load of money making opportunities.
B: you have one. Aren?t you forgetting something?
J: thank you.
B: not that. That. Your computer, I packed it for you.
J: it?s yours.

Justin sighs
B: I wouldn?t ask you if I didn?t think you could do it.
J: or if you weren?t desperate.
B: yea, that too.
J: what?s it for?
B: it?s for the center carnival.
J: you fucking hate the center.
B: not when they?re paying me. So, how much do you want?
J: it?s for a good cause so it?s free.
B: Christ, didn?t I teach you anything?
J: five hundred
B: two hundred
J: five hundred. Take it or leave it.
B: I like the way you do business.
B: The expression on his face needs to be more enticing but more foreboding ??enter at your own risk. Prepare to be fucked.?
J: I think I can manage that.
B: you?d probably get a better view if you stood a little closer.
Justin walks over to Brian?s.
B: and his hips need to be more in profile to extenuate his cock.
J: it?s always about sex.
B: unless it?s about death but death doesn?t sell tickets.

J: I believe this belongs to you.
B: thanks
J: anytime. Here.
B: shouldn?t you be getting back to your boyfriend?
J: yea
305
J: fuck off?FUCK OFF!
B: you should take a number like everyone else.
J: and you should keep your big fucking mouth shut.
B: I wasn?t the one giving the blow job.
J: what did you tell Ethan?
B: the truth.
J: ?there?s nothing noble about being poor??
B: oh, he actually listened.
J: he more than listened. He signed the papers.
B: good for him.
J: what, that he sold out?
B: maybe his recordings will do the same. Although, personally, I could never really stand violin music; it sounds like someone torturing a cat.
J: what about me?
B: what about you? You expect him to scarify his career for a piece of blond boy ass? Is that your idea of true love, sunshine?
306
J: it?s 3 bucks.
B: where did you get the ring?
J: Ethan
B: how romantic.
J: fuck all you?d know about romance.
B: keep it.
J: it?s a big tip
B: maybe you could buy him some flowers. I?m sure he?d like that.
B: buy you another one?
J: no, thanks.
B: where?s your fianc??
J: he?s playing somewhere.
B: well, luckily you have this. See ya.

B: someone didn?t sleep at home.
J: what are you, a detective?
B: that?s the same stunning ensemble you were wearing yesterday.
J: I spent the night at Daphne?s if it?s any of your fucking business.
B: do I detect a discordant note in love?s tender refrain?
