:: Scene 1 ::
Robin – “Excuse me, sir, I want you to schedule an appointment to come over and…lay some cable.”
Hughie – “Ha! Robin that doesn’t mean what you think it means.”
Robin – “Laying cable means sex?”
Hughie – “No! Laying pipe means sex. Laying cable means you want to come over to my house and take a shit.”
Robin – “Ew! That’s disgusting”
Hughie – “Haha you said it.”
Robin – “Ew gross. Ok, are you ready yet? Despite your best efforts, I’m still hungry.”
Hughie – “Yeah”
Robin – “Ok so you got her from ‘No thanks’ to four cameras?!”
Hughie – “What can I say? I’m a good fucking salesman.”
Robin – “…mhm”
Hughie – “Pft hey, I got you didn’t I?”
Robin – “Um barley. Speaking of Mr. Salesmen. Did you ask for the raise?”
Hughie – “Um yeah sure. Gary is totally supportive. He just said it’s kinda slow right now. Next year though for sure!”
Robin – “…ok”
Hughie – “What? You want to go over to his house and kick his ass?”
Robin – “I said ok?”
Hughie – “But that’s not what you meant. I see your face, come on. Let me hear it.”
Robin – “Ok you’re the best guy there. By a long shot. And Gary is totally taking advantage of you. So yeah you should get in there and fight for it.”
Hughie – “Alright Jesus…I had no idea you needed a sugar daddy”
Robin – “Oh blow me. This is about you getting what you deserve. Hell, I’m killing myself at school because it’s gonna pay off for both of us. I mean if we are gonna move in together…”
Hughie – “…Woah Woah. What did you just say?”
Robin – “What? We can’t keep ‘laying pipe’ at your parent’s house?! I mean try to keep quiet starring up at that dumb Led Zepplin poster”
Hughie – “Woah Woah! Never besmirch the Zepplin poster.”
:: Scene 2 ::
Male – “So Butcher tells me he just met you? What a few days ago.
Hughie – “Uh sounds about right. I don’t know lost track of time”
Male – “Man talk about a baptism of fire”
Hughie – “You two seem pretty tight”
Male – “Two nuts in a ball sack. Only each nut wants to go its own separate way most of the time…..So Translucent? I mean how the fuck did you pull it off?”
Hughie – “Got lucky I guess”
Male – “Still. Must have been scary?”
Hughie – “Yeah it was.”
Male – “And the guilt. You took a mans life. I mean he was a motherfucker but still that shit weighs.”
Hughie – “…Nah. You know whats really fucked up though? In that moment when I did it. I felt so intense. So real. I felt…I don’t know. Kinda good.”
Male – “It’s written all over your face”
Hughie – “How do you figure?”
Male – “Well, I know how this job makes me feel. I saw how you looked. I mean that was stupid man! You know how anyone of those suit motherfuckers could have exploded your head with one punch right?”
Hughie – “Fuck man. I don’t know whats going on with me. I mean I was just that guy who froze up and hated any type of violence. I ate shit for it every day when I was a kid. But when I was in that moment holding that dead guy in my hand. I don’t know it doesn’t scare me anymore. The fact I pushed that button and killed that guy. The thrill that I was doing it. It was this intense high. I felt alive. God help me, man. I never felt a rush like that in my entire life.”

Hughie – “I’m leaving town for a little while.”
Mom – “You mean like a vacation?”
Hughie – “Yeah! Sorta……Well no not like a vacation. I just need some time to think. Sort some things out.”
Mom – “Are you sure that’s a good idea?”
Hughie – “Thinking? Separates us from the chimps so generally…yeah”
Mom – “What I meant to say was getting back to your….Your Dad thinks getting back to your old routine is just what you need. Getting back to normal.”
Hughie – “I’m so done with normal. And fucking routines are for old people and toddlers. Things that wear diapers and drool.”
Mom – “Shame on you after your Father paid for your electronics degree from the Univeristy of Phoenix.”
Hughie – “That’s not what I…Dad doesn’t even wear a diaper….Wait he does?!”
Mom – “So…where are you gonna go? To think.”
Hughie – “I don’t know. I’ll let you know when I asses it all out.”
Mom – “Ever since you were a boy we were always so open with each other. Come on. Let me back in. Talk to me”
Hughie – “Mom stop! I’m moving out. I’m sorry I love you to death. But you don’t know me like you think you do. You never did. I should have done this a long time ago…”
