Laurel Canyon Page #5

I'm not talking about work.

I have a band with me.

You don't need to go out.

We made tofu steaks.

- Oh, sorry we missed that.

- What have you got there?

Pizza.

Do you want some?

Delicious. Real meat.

- Whose girl is that?

- She's Rowan's baby. China.

Come here, you little brat.

Are you cold?

Meet my friend Alex.

Say hello.

- Wanna go with your dad?

- Yeah.

The dancer dad.

- I guess you two drink?

- Sure.

Hi. Is Sam there?

- Sugar?

- Please... Thank you.

I'm really sorry I woke you up.

I'm usually up before 6:00.

I overslept.

Good morning. Sorry.

- Shall we go?

- Alex made coffee.

- Do we have time?

- I think so. I drive fast.

Thanks for picking him up.

I wasn't expecting

to be apartment hunting.

- I mean, we weren't.

- It is not a problem.

I'm happy to.

It's right on my way.

- That's convenient. Where do you live?

- In the Valley.

North Hollywood.

- Why can't you stay up here?

- It's a little tight with everyone.

That's too bad.

It's really nice.

I'd sacrifice space

to be up here any day.

- Are you a resident?

- Second year.

- What do you do?

- I'm writing my dissertation.

- What on?

- Drosophila genomics.

She's an MD as well.

- Wow! That's very impressive.

- Not really.

- It impresses me.

- Thank you.

You must have a lot of patience.

I don't know, I couldn't imagine

analyzing data all day,

It seems so...

...tedious.

It's not meaningless at all.

I didn't say meaningless. Did I?

My English is terrible, I'm sorry.

I said tedious, I think.

Well, same difference.

But I didn't mean that. I meant...

I don't know the word...

Serious. That's all.

It's fine, sorry. I didn't mean to...

No, I'm sorry, really.

I didn't mean the "assault"...

insult. We should probably go.

Well, it was nice meeting you.

- You too.

- Bye.

- Your girlfriend seems nice.

- Yeah.

She was tired.

She is usually more...

She is usually different.

A double degree.

She must love school.

Yeah. She got through fast.

She's really smart.

Yeah, she must be.

- And ambitious.

- Oh yeah.

Top in our class actually.

- Really?

- Yes.

How can you compete with that?

Amphetamines.

"Ecstasy", generic, ice...

We're not sure what he took.

The vital signs still haven't stabilized,

I'll be around.

Page if you have any questions.

- Do you want to start?

- No, he's yours.

- How you doing... Wyatt?

- I'm f***ed up, okay?

I got these Nazis in a parking

waiting to bang me,

- and I am trapped in here!

- Okay.

How old are you?

Eighteen.

- Do you have any family around?

- No, don't I have any family around!

Leave my family out of here

you paranoid Nazi,

freakin' up in a white coat!

- Leave my family out of here.
