Against The Current Page #3

---

we went to school with.

Autistic.

Whatever.

That young man gave one hell of a blowj*b.

-Mmm...

-You guys are truly demented.

l don't know what you mean by that.

Now, let's head back to shore

so l can get a high colonic and a bite to eat.

(SOFTLY) It's okay.

lt's okay. It's okay. It's okay.

(EXHALES) It's okay.

l haven't had sex in a year.

No?

You should get married then.

l have sex like, God, almost six times a year.

It's hard to keep up.

What's that about?

l don't know. Marriage, l guess.

Lots of little resentments.

You're single.

You ought to be having sex all the time.

Get it while you can. You know?

l guess.

So what's this

haven't-had-sex-for-a-year business?

A girl like you should be getting

some serious dick action.

Yeah, l don't know.

l think l've had too many lovers already.

-Too many lovers?

-LIZ:
Yeah.

Not too much sex. But too many lovers.

Paul! Hey, Paul!

You think you've slept with

too many women in your life?

Too many?

JEFF:
Yeah. Think you had too many lovers?

Oh, yeah. Way too many.

Wish l could turn back the clock.

Where do l sign up for

the too-many-lovers program?

-You don't understand.

-Yeah, apparently.

(SIGHS) l haven't slept in a sleeping bag

since camp. Inside a teepee.

JEFF:
The famous camp.

Waterskiing. Teepees.

(SIGHING) l wish l could go to camp now.

lt was fun.

lt had all sorts of old-school activities.

Archery, water polo, capture the flag.

Oh! l would love to play water polo.

Paul, how much would you pay

to play a real game of water polo?

-Ten bucks?

-Wrong! Fifty bucks.

Wow. Water polo. (CHUCKLES)

What didn't they have at that camp?

Adequate adult supervision. It was great.

Any lesbian experimentation going on?

(CHUCKLES) A little.

Why are you swimming down the river, Paul?

lt's a charity stunt.

Why is it so important to get there

by August 28th?

He has Yankee tickets that night.

You don't remember what the 28th is?

lf you're talking about the day

you came out to me,

l'm pretty sure that, that was

the spring of senior year...

And we never really celebrate that.

This stuff never stops, does it?

JEFF:
Nope.

The older l get, the more immature l get.

lt's an odd phenomenon.

It's not one l claim to understand.

Enough about me.

What's the deal with the 28th?

Amy's anniversary.

August 28th is the fifth anniversary

of her death.

To prepare for the occasion,

l thought l'd do something interesting,

something unique,

to distinguish myself in some small way

before l go.

Go where?

lt's been five years.

Motherf***er!

LIZ:
What?

What?

Jeff!

What's happening?

What... What was that about?

He's gonna kill himself

when we finish the swim.
