The Silent Thief Page #2

get my bag.

So, who won the game?

Me and Elise.

You in college?

That's right.

Some kind of running

scholarship?

Uh, no, actually,

I hurt myself halfway through

senior year.

Must have been gutted.

Yeah, sort of...

but, um, I decided to go to

college anyway.

I'm gonna be a trainer.

Good for you.

Hey, listen, you can,

uh, you can have the room.

You know, you are paying rent

after all, it's my pleasure.

Nah, it's your room.

I insist.

It's fine, really.

No, no, okay, let's play rock,

paper, scissors for it.

Yeah?

One, two, shoot.

Alright.

Ready?

Alright, best two out of three.

Okay.

Alright, um, I guess

I'm on the couch.

Yep.

Sleep well.

Done hibernating for the winter?

Hello, good morning.

Afternoon is more like it.

This always confuses me.

Hey, could you

scoot over London?

Yeah, sorry.

Well, it's an American sport.

I just meant I don't understand why you

play American football on your holidays

If baseball is

your national pastime.

Baseball is our pastime,

but football is our sport.

There's a difference.

Oh!

Let the big dog eat!

You know, I think some of those

guys enjoy that a little too much.

- What, the butt slapping?

- Yeah.

I bet you'd be surprised how

many gays there are in The NFL.

Mike, watch this kid eat.

Howard, leave Brennan alone.

It's amusing!

Is it?

I'm kidding.

It's a joke.

You got burned, dad.

Yeah, that was,

that was good, I like that.

So, what's so amusing about

the way you eat?

Oh, I like to eat one thing

at a time.

You know, it's better

for you anyway.

It's good for your

digestive system.

Honey, have you met any nice

college girls?

Mom, none that you'd like.

Any that I'd like?

So, anyways, after we're done here,

I'm gonna go over to Alex's, if that's okay.

I'll come too!

That's a great idea.

You'll love Alex.

Great.

Okay.

Hey.

Hey. How's it going?

Yeah, it's good to see you.

Uh, this is Brennan.

Hey, uh, Alex... Nixon.

No relation.

To who?

Good one

What's this?

They're, uh, cacti.

Cacti?

What a fag.

Your turn?

Oh, no.

I'm okay.

I'm not really...

you ever lifted before?

No.

Come on, give it a try.

No, I'm-

Come on, sit down.

How much do you weigh?

One-Fifty-Ish.

Well, this is 155 on here,

So a perfectly healthy person

Should be able to bench their

own body weight.

Can you?

Yeah, I'm one-Eighty and I

can bench two-Sixty-Five.

Just straight back.

Okay, you ready?

Hands out here.

Don't tuck your thumbs in.

This, uh, feels weird...

It's alright. You know who

Arnold Schwarzenegger is?

Yeah.

This is how he lifts.

Alright you ready?

Wait, no, no, no,

no, no, no-

- You got it. You got it!

- Hold on

Mike!

Alright. Relax.
