The Ledge Page #3

- Yeah, you're welcome.

- Thank you for the gift.

- We need this.

- Please sit down.

Would you like

a glass of wine?

- Sure, thanks.

- Shana.

- I could do that if you like.

- Thank you for having us over.

That's very nice of you.

- Our pleasure.

- Thanks.

Is that yours?

- Oh, yeah.

But I wore out the strings.

- How's school going?

- It's okay.

- You doing that same essay

as Harper, sacred object?

- Yeah.

- So what's your sacred object

gonna be?

- Um, a teddy bear.

- Wow, that's pretty radical,

Shana.

Harper's going

in a whole different direction-

- It's more complicated

than you think.

It's a good essay.

- Oh, I'm sure it is.

- Maybe you could critique it.

You're good at that, right?

- So who else

is gonna get lubed?

- We don't drink.

- Oh.

- But please, feel free.

Chris?

- Uh, no, thanks.

I'll take a water, though.

- Glass of water, Shana.

- So what do you do, Joe?

- I work at the oil refinery.

I'm a systems manager.

And you?

- I'm in TV.

I'm an editor.

Yeah, right now,

I'm working on a show

about the long-term

psychological effects

of disaster.

- Okay.

- Oh.

- So you guys want to watch

the game here tonight?

- Oh, no,

thank you.

- No?

You don't like baseball?

- It's okay, I guess.

- Chris?

- Well, yeah, sure.

Maybe a couple innings.

Why not?

- How long have you two

been friends?

- About a year.

- Yeah, we're coming up

on our first anniversary.

- That's right.

- Would you mind

if we prayed for you both?

- No.

- Lord, thank you

for this wonderful meal,

and thank you for bringing

these two men into our lives.

And please grant them

the strength to fight

what is abominable in your eyes,

for we are all sinners.

Amen.

- Amen.

And what exactly is it

that you find so abominable

about us, Joe?

- Well, it's not my judgment,

Gavin.

It's God's.

- Well, I hope God's a good shot

with those lightning bolts,

or one of us is gonna get

wrongfully struck.

Well, thank you for dinner.

- He has very strong beliefs.

- So do we, Chris.

You know, there are programs

that can help you.

- Joe.

- I can-

- That's enough.

- Hey, you know what?

Honestly, Joe,

I think if you knew

all the facts,

you wouldn't want me

on your team.

Okay?

Thank you.

- Let me show you out.

- Well, we're here

if you change your mind.

- I'm sorry.

- Un-f***ing-believable.

I mean,

what a hateful f***ing pair.

The food wasn't even that good.

And you know what pisses me off

most of all?

Is that you buy into

his horse sh*t in your own way.

- They don't talk about that

stuff at the Kabbalah center.

It's never an issue.

- Oh, read the damn book, Chris.

It says right in the Torah,
