SOOZE:

Mister Brooks has had shows in New York, Jeff. He's been reviewed

in Art Forum. I think he knows.

JEFF:

(in mock British accent)

Oh, well, then you better listen to him.

SOOZE:

Well, f***! Might as well not do anything! Let's just stick out

thumbs up our asses and twirl.

TIM:

Yes, that's right. You know what, honey? You should go to New

York. You should go. Go show 'em. They need your unique point of

view.

SOOZE:

At least I have a point of view, you know?

BEE-BEE

Uh-huh.

SOOZE:

I stand for something. And I'm trying to communicate something.

JEFF:

What are you trying to communicate? Tell us.

SOOZE:

So you can give me more sh*t?

JEFF:

No, no. It's an honest question. What are you trying to

communicate?

SOOZE:

I'm trying to communicate how I feel, Jeff. You know raise

consciousness. Make people think for a change.

BEE-BEE

Mn-hm.

JEFF:

"Burger Manifesto, Part One" is gonna make people think?

SOOZE:

Yes, you a**hole.

JEFF:

About what?

SOOZE:

About things that are important to me.

JEFF:

Like what?

SOOZE:

Sexual politics, racism, the environment, the military

industrial...

BEE-BEE

Um-hm.

JEFF:

Wait. Racism? You don't know anybody who's black!

SOOZE:

Of course I do!

JEFF:

Name one.

SOOZE:

God, KAREN JOHNSON.

JEFF:

One!

SOOZE:

Your completely missing the point.

JEFF:

Hey!

SOOZE:

I'm talking about idealism.

BEE-BEE

Responsibility, progress.

SOOZE:

Yes.

JEFF:

No, idealism is guilty, middle class bullshit.

SOOZE:

No, sweetie. Cynicism is bullshit.

JEFF:

No, no, no. I'm not being cynical, I'm being honest.

SOOZE:

But do you stand for anything?

JEFF:

Yes, I stand for -

SOOZE:

What? What do you stand for?

JEFF:

I stand for honesty! I stand for some level of truth!

SOOZE:

Oh, yeah, right. Yeah, right. F*** you.

JEFF:

Can I talk here? Let me talk.

SOOZE:

You know, all you know is what's good for you.

JEFF:

Can I talk?

SOOZE:

Typical male.

BEE-BEE

Typical male.

SOOZE:

Typical male.

BEE-BEE

Typical male.

SOOZE:

Tim, he listens to you. Do you think it's a good idea? Seriously?

TIM:

Seriously? It's a great idea.

SOOZE:

Ha! Thank you! See? He did it. He left.

TIM:

I did. I split, man. I expanded my horizons, you know. Served my

country. Saw the world, you know? I've gained wisdom and now I'm

back, baby, back from the road. Me and Jack Kerouac.

The group starts to head back up to the Circle A.

SOOZE:

I can't wait till Pony gets here, you know? Have a conversation

with a human being?

JEFF:

Well, if you love him so much, why didn't you go see him play?

SOOZE:

Um, because you didn't want to go.
