that we cut up

just soaking in that sugar,

that natural sweetness,

just coming out from

the strawberry and the juice.

Oh! I can just taste it.

You can also use this

on pound cakes,

cereal, banana splits and...

I hate you.

I hate you.

Ha!

Ha!

Huh?

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Ah, ah.

Oh, f***!

Oh!

I'm going to kill you!

Ow! Okay...

Can you please

lower your f***ing music?

Jesus Christ.

Hey! And keep it lower, okay?

So I don't have

to come back here again.

It's the middle

of the afternoon.

It's not like it's 2:00

in the morning.

You going to argue with me?

Crippled lady in the hallway?

Huh?

Fine.

And you know what else?

Hey!

You have to come make me

a sandwich.

So, um, what is up with all

the music and the grunting?

Are you, like, exercising?

None of your business.

Well, you don't have

to be rude about it.

How am I rude?

Because I don't want to haul you

up five flights of stairs?

Or, like, talk about what I do

inside my own home?

Yeah. For starters.

Why? So that then you can

call me every day and be like,

"I am so sorry,

I really am so sorry,

but can you buy me

some toilet paper?"

Or, like, "Oh, hey,

do you want to watch TV with me?

I'm so lonely."

You know what? You're...

You're awful.

You know what?

I have a mom and a crazy sister

I have to worry about,

all right?

I have an old aunt who lives

in Connecticut

who I never get to visit,

all right?

And, yeah, when I get home I

want to work out like an animal.

So why should I care

about some injured neighbour

who doesn't have anybody

to take care of her?

I have people

to take care of me.

Okay?

Really.

Yeah. Really.

I could be living in New Jersey

right now if I wanted to,

with my sister, but I am

choosing to be independent.

Yeah, very independent.

Knock, knock.

"Hey, stranger,

make me a sandwich."

I was hit by a car!

Okay?

Jesus Christ, I just...

Forgive me for wanting

to be in my own home.

And my friends said

that they would help me.

But they don't want to help you.

Yes, they...

They're just being nice.

They want to go to the movies,

or they want to go out to eat,

or whatever other

fun things they do.

Just not sitting here with you.

Because everyone's

just trying to squeeze out

a little happiness from life,

or just get

some boring sh*t done.

And the last thing they want

is someone getting in their way.

When someone asks me

to do them a favour,

it feels like they're literally

sucking the air out of my lungs.

Like they're trying

to steal my life.

Go.

Goodbye.

At least I'm honest.

Hey.

Oh, hey.

Um, you know,

I've been thinking.

Yeah.

Yeah. Um...

you know, maybe it would be

better if I just...
