What Separates Us Page #3

who work decades to

create pieces like this.

Anyone with this kind of

natural touch is blessed.

JANICE:
So what was all

that sh*t with Heller today?

I have no idea.

I mean, she's a good teacher.

She's probably just trying

to be supportive or whatever,

but I don't know, I guess

it just weirds me out.

Well, she doesn't

pull anybody else aside.

But you know we all

have to bust our asses

to do something as half

as good as what you do.

(SLOW MUSIC)

We should check this

thing out, it's awesome.

I used to come here

when I was little.

(PARKER CHUCKLES)

I've been here my whole life,

but I wanna get out, you know?

PARKER:
Family?

I have a brother who's older.

Parents?

Nah, that's a long story.

(DOG BARKING)

So anyway, where are you from?

Seattle.

See, I knew it.

(PARKER LAUGHS)

I knew it.

Hey, I love Seattle.

It's a beautiful city.

Oh, I know, I've been there.

You really get around.

DANNY:
I do.

What do you mean, like

what do I wanna do right now

or what do I wanna do in life?

Life.

I don't know, I definitely don't

wanna be a dishwasher

my whole life, you know?

That job sucks my soul, man.

Sorry, I say man to everyone.

(PARKER LAUGHS)

So who were you with

at the bar the other day?

Oh, those guys?

They're like my real

family, you know?

Who was that guy

who came up to you?

Don't worry about it.

No, who was it?

Just some white trash bastard

I went to high school with.

He talked like there's a gang

or something in Helena, Montana.

I know, it's stupid.

If you were in a city, you'd

probably be dead by now.

Okay, can we drop it please?

Sorry.

Don't be sorry, okay?

Man.

I gotta tell ya.

MAN:
Daniel Brennan.

Sh*t.

What's up, Joe?

Hey, Brennan.

What have you been up to?

You know, I haven't

seen you in a while.

I know.

Since track senior year.

Yeah, that's right.

So what happened, you know?

You didn't go to Colorado?

Nah, no, I didn't.

That's a shame.

You know, you could've

been something fantastic.

You know, toughest

runner I ever saw.

Yeah, I'll tell my

kid I ran into you.

Yeah, thanks, thanks, Joe.

(BELLS RINGING)

Yeah, I guess, but I think

college is kind of overrated.

Overrated?

You know what I'm saying?

Yeah.

(PARKER LAUGHS)

I mean, it's like the

perfect business plan.

They drill it all into your

head through high school,

like what college

are you gonna go to?

You gotta prepare for

college, you know?

Well, a college

degree is becoming

more and more necessary.

Yeah, I guess, I don't know.

Gets me depressed

thinking about it.

What?

Like that guy said, you know?

I was supposed to be the

next big runner, you know?

Really?

Yeah, I used to run the 800.
