Not for Human Consumption Page #3

to con my way into the only

place with AC which happened

to be the sewing room.

JAY (V.O.):

I got a job in there

repairing ripped pants and

shirts for other inmates.

When there wasn't

enough work left,

the woman Marcia that ran the

place let me stay in there

drawing portraits.

I drew her,

inmates, even the cook.

I think I've drawn close

to two hundred and fifty

portraits up to this point.

JAY (V.O.):

I've been working out a lot

and decided I was going to

start playing ball with

some of the other guys in the

dorm, what a

mistake that was.

I missed one shot and lost

the game which apparently

certain guys had money on.

I tried laying low but

there's nowhere to hide.

JAY (V.O.):

If they want you, they're

going to get you in here.

Needless to say it ended my

illustrious career in prison

athletics.

The guy that was coming and

bringing a meeting stopped

coming so now I'm just back

to working out in the dorm

and waiting for my release.

JAY (V.O.):

I really hope you're

getting these letters man,

It'd be really nice

to hear back from you,

Dear Marty, I hope you

finally didn't send me a

letter cause I'm

not going to get it.

JAY (V.O.):

The day has come,

I'm out of here.

I could try and sum up

what I've learned during this

stint but I feel Prison

doesn't so much teach you new

stuff, as much as remind you

to get rid of the old stuff.

If that's change,

then I guess I have.

JAY:

Everything looks so

different.

JAY'S FATHER

A lot's changed...

all these high-end homes came in

and pushed the projects and

the section 8 further out west,

Remember that bus

stop by the mall?

JAY:

Yeah.

JAY'S FATHER:

People were furious because all

these Latinos and Haitians

were waiting for the bus.

That's what the rich get

upset about around here,

makes me sick.

Okay, I got all your personal

stuff in there, you can get your

license back.

JAY:

Great, now all I need's a car.

Thanks, Pop.

JAY'S FATHER:

There's seven hundred and fifty

bucks in there

to get you started

You can stay at my

place for three days.

JAY:

Three days to find an apartment?

JAY'S FATHER:

You can always go to your

mother's.

JAY:

Point taken.

She came to see me a couple

of times- I think it was too

much for her.

JAY'S FATHER:

I got you a job interview at

Antonio's.

JAY:

The deli?

JAY'S FATHER:

Mmm-hmm.

Pop, three days isn't a

lot of time...

JAY'S FATHER:

Well, that's all you're gonna

get Jay. I'm sorry.

JAY:

What if I need more time?

JAY'S FATHER:

We'll discuss a fourth day if we

need to but

right now I'm giving you money,

I got you a job interview

Three days should be more than

enough time to find a place.
