Moving to the kitchen, Chozen opens the fridge.

Chozen lights a cigarette.

TRACY:

You can’t smoke in here either!

now.

Tracy sits down on the couch in a huff, takes a breath, calmsherself.

TRACY:

I was paying bills online today andnoticed that I owe like $100 to the

cable company for pay per view.

Chozen grabs a beer from the fridge and sits down.

TRACY (CONT’D)

CHOZEN:

Nah, wasn’t me.

TRACY:

Well I didn’t watch it.

CHOZEN:

TRACY:

Okay, I understand this is probablya really hard adjustment for you.

But you gotta meet me half wayhere. I can’t afford all this

stuff.

Chozen laughs.
