Finding Home (Phan) (Without Trilogy Part II)

7

To the resident actor. May the role be as wonderful
as unlimited ice cream as bought by me-

The resident bartender.

I was going to say your glorious friend, but I guess
that too, yeah. So, how do you feel? Got your callback,
got your part...

It's a supporting role.

So?

In an independent film.

Annnd? You act like it's a fucking silent picture
or some shit. It's still a movie.

You're way too nice about this. What do you want in
return?

Mm, how about Skittles at the premier.

I can toast to that.

I think my ice cream just mated with yours.

I think you need to shut up.

...

The one time you actually do what I ask,
it's because of food. Right. So, anyway, I was
thinking...I know we don't have a lot of money,
even with what your grandmother left you, but
I can probably get my parents to help out and
the pay for the movie too...

Movies, once you can audition for more.

Yeah, right. So anyway, I was thinking
that I'd really like to go to college. I applied to
one around here, got in, met all the deadlines...

So basically asking me is just a heads up kind
of thing?

I was a little nervous to ask you any earlier.

I don't see why. I think it's great, if you
want to go, go. I'm not going to be the college
Scrooge.

But what about you? When you go it'll
be even tighter on money...

I'm not going.

What?

I don't want to go.

Why not? I've seen your SAT scores, they're
at least a hundred points higher than mine.

Yeah, well, I hate school. I don't remember
shit from it, and I don't have any real goals. I figure,
i can always be a bartender and do odd jobs.

So, you're basing this major life decision
off the fact that you hate school?

No, I'm basing it off years of careful thought
and planning. You know me, I don't rush into
things like that. You can educate, I can flirt. It's how
the world works. Worse comes to worse, I'm sure
I could find and expose a sugar daddy.

I guess.

So it's settled. The only problem is, how
are you going to balance school and the movie?

Don't know yet. But I will. Just you wait.

Watch that ice cream, it's going to fall.

Right, thanks.
