200 Cigarettes Page #4

I mean, I don't mean

I'm with him

because we're just friends,

and we're not together...

Sh*t! Do you think

he even heard me?

It's inevitable, you know?

You let somebody move in with you,

you make all these

little compromises

to smooth things along,

and the next thing you know,

you're on some macrobiotic diet,

you're listening

to Joni Mitchell!

- And then you know what they say?

- No.

They tell you you've changed.

You're not the same person

I fell in love with.

Well... yeah...

And then they dump you.

What do you expect, Kevin?

I mean, you go out

with condescending,

emasculating women.

You need to find somebody

that likes you the way you are.

And who would possibly

like me the way I am?

I have no idea.

Now, finish your drink

because I wanna get

that guy back over here.

[Shatters]

Where are we gonna go, huh?

We don't know anybody.

Well, maybe we'll

meet somebody.

- What?

- You know,

maybe we'll meet some people.

What are you,

on another f***in' planet?

Val, you don't just meet people

on the street.

Even when you go to a party,

you don't meet people.

You just stand around,

talking to the ones

you already know.

Well, we're just gonna

keep walking, all right?

I'll know it if I see it.

It's gotta be

around here somewhere.

I been there once before.

- Call your mother.

- My mother?

Yeah, she's got your cousin's

number, don't she?

I can't call her.

She thinks I'm sleeping

at your house tonight.

Listen to me.

We are in deep sh*t here.

We either call your mother

for the number,

or we get back on

a train to Ronkonkoma.

You are so uncool.

You just stay

the f*** away from B!

OK, so...

do you wanna stop and get a drink?

I don't know. Do you?

Yes, yes! I do. It's early.

I hate getting to a party

before everybody else, so...

Great. OK...

Ha ha...

We can get a drink.

I mean, if you want to.

I don't wanna force you

to drink against your will.

Do you wanna stop or not?

Sure. If you do.

Look, Jack,

we don't have to do this.

I thought you said

you wanted a drink!

No. I mean about

going to the party.

You don't wanna go to the party?

No... Look, it's just...

it's New Year's Eve.

You don't have to spend it

with me.

I mean, just because of...

Can I just say something?

I'm sensing a real reluctance

on your part

to tell me what you

would like to do tonight.

- Really?

- Really.

And I think it's natural

if you feel a little bit

awkward here,

you know, considering,

but there's no reason

why we can't just go to the party

and have a good time tonight, OK?

- OK.

- OK. Now...

do you want to go to the party?

- Heh, sure.

- All right.

If you want to.

Arrgh!

Let's get a drink.
