JAY:

All right...

JAY:

Yo, I love that sh*t...

Where can I watch that?

GUY:

Uh...YouTube.

JAY:

What's YouTube?

GUY:

Really? Where have you been?

PROBATION OFFICER:

Jay Trotta.

PROBATION OFFICER (O.S.)

So Mr. Trotta...

Do you have employment?

JAY:

Uhm, I got a lead. I got an

interview later today.

PROBATION OFFICER

Okay, and how about housing?

JAY:

Uh... Not yet.

PROBATION OFFICER:

Anybody helping you financially?

JAY:

My dad's given me a few bucks

but that's it for now.

PROBATION OFFICER:

Okay, well I will see you here

same time next month.

JAY:

That's it? That was quick...

PROBATION OFFICER

Stay out of trouble, or

you'll end up right back inside.

JAY:

Yes ma'am.

JAY:

Hey, Antonio?

ANTONIO:

How ya doing?

JAY:

How ya doing? Jay Trotta. I

brought my application.

ANTONIO:

I heard from your father, you

spent three years up the road.

Well that's all I need to know.

You ready to work?

JAY:

Yeah.

ANTONIO:

Meet me out there, I'll show you

what to do in a little bit.

JAY:

Okay, all right. Thank you sir.

ANTONIO:

No problem.

How's it going there, Jay?

JAY:

It's good. Wanna take a look?

ANTONIO:

Let me see... a little thinner.

JAY:

A little thinner? Okay.

JAY:

Before I went away, I was

sort of an adrenaline junkie.

That's one of the factors that

led me to committing my

crime in the first place.

I think that doing all this

crazy sh*t was just about

...well part of it was just

about... wanting...

to feel something. I wanted to

feel alive, feel connected...

Because all the time

I felt like a fraud.

JAY:

And I thought the way to feel

validated was to put myself

through all of these

intense experiences.

But then, when I got sober,

I realized that this isn't true.

I realized that life is

not an extreme sport.

JAY:

Uh, thank you.

JAY:

You're all

right being out here?

MARTY:

We're in between shifts.

Mrs. Finkleman takes like

an hour to eat her soup.

MARTY:

So how'd you track me down?

JAY:

I hired this private

investigator and uh...

Not much has changed bro.

Same restaurant, same hours.

MARTY:

I like consistency.

JAY:

So my last month in prison

I started writing these lists...

What I was gonna

do when I got out.

Where I was gonna go.

And what I was gonna eat.

Obviously the key lime pie at

the diner was top of that list.

MARTY:

You know they named it after

you.

JAY:

No sh*t?

MARTY:

No.

Laughter

JAY:

Did you get any of my letters?

MARTY:

I got a couple of 'em.

JAY:

I wrote you twelve.

MARTY:

I got most of 'em, I think.

JAY:

Would've been nice to

get one back...

Just so I knew what was

going on around here ya know?
