“Mom, I have to go, I’m at the house.”
“Well, how is your brother? Have you seen him yet? Does he look fat? Does it smell like pot?”
“No, listen, Mom, I haven’t seen him yet, I have to go. Bye.”
[Walk up to front door of house, which has no doorknob, and am let in by brother’s friend who got him arrested last year]
“Hello.”
“Whoa, like, hi. Ummmm…dude, that dog is fucking cool! Matt, your sister’s dog is cool.”
“Umm, yeah, like, whatever.”
“Yo, Megan, can you take us to Burger King. Come on! Please.”
“You guys, it smells like shit in here. What are you smoking?”
[Two potheads laugh for about 15 minutes]
“So, seriously, can you take us to Burger King?”
“It’s 9:30 in the morning!”
“Yeah. I want chicken fries.”
[Drive to Burger King and order food]
“Oh, um, I only have 73 cents.”
“Seriously?”
“Yeah, look! Hey, do you remember like 2 years ago when I was calling your parents house looking for your brother, and it was like, Christmas. And you answered and I was like, is Matt there, and you were like, no, and I like didn’t even say Merry Christmas? That was fucked up. I guess I wasn’t very festive that year.”
“Honestly, that apparently didn’t make as much of an impression on me as it did on you.”
“Really, cause it was fucking weird.”
“I’m sure it was. As is this.”
