The Double Page #5
- What? I'm hungry.
- No, it's just...
I don't know, I would
have never done that.
- You don't like eggs?
- No, I mean, I just...
Don't think I would feel comfortable
talking to someone like that.
She's a waitress. She's
here to serve us.
If you don't tell her what you
actually want, how can she do her job?
No, I can see that... She can
and I do think being forthright
certainly has its place.
And I'm not, like, criticizing
your behavior or anything.
Here is your coffee,
your beer and your breakfast.
We're out of coke.
You both have very beautiful hands.
To be continued.
Don't go anywhere.
The dark-haired one is a dirty dirty
thing. Which one do you want?
- I'm sorry?
- I prefer the brunette, but either way.
That's all right,
you can have both.
- Never again.
- I'm gonna go to the bathroom.
- Hey, watch it, will you?
- Sorry, sorry.
What the f*** are you
gonna do about it?
Hi, I don't think we've talked.
Would you mind holding
this for me? Thank you.
We should leave.
How come you don't
have a girlfriend?
I don't know.
You a flamer?
No, there's someone I've
been thinking about.
A lot.
- Like some fantasy sh*t?
- No, she's real.
A person.
- So what's the problem?
- I don't know.
I have all these things that I
want to say to her, like...
Like how I can tell that she's a lonely
person, even if other people can't.
'Cause... 'Cause I know
what it feels like
to be lost and lonely
and invisible.
Simon, you have to go
after what you want.
I would tear the a**hole off an elephant
for a piece of trim I wanted that bad.
I've tried talking to her, but
I don't know how to be myself.
It's like I'm permanently
outside myself.
Like... like you could push your hand
straight through me if you wanted to.
And I couldn't see the type
of man that I wanna be
versus the type of
man I actually am.
And I know that I'm doing it, but I'm
incapable of doing what needs to be done.
I'm like Pinocchio.
I'm a wooden boy,
not a real boy.
And it kills me.
Hey, it's okay. He's with me.
Oh. Please.
Any friend of James's
is a friend of mine.
I'm not even making
that up, really.
Oh, Harris, did you get a chance
to take a look at that report yet?
Ah, good, thank you. No, not now.
And, uh, Rudolph,
no rush on the coffee.
I'll take a nap or something.
- What switch?
- What switch?
The switch. You're taking
the aptitude test for me.
We-we went through all this
last night, the switch.
- Please stop saying "the switch."
- You said you would help me
with all this boring office-work
crap like this test.
I've got reports to finish. I am out
of my booth. I have to teach Melanie.
