Seven.

DECK

Do you know what time you were born? Probably not, huh?

JAMESON

4:15am.

DECK

Really?

JAMESON

Yeah. I’m not a monster, created in some dungeon somewhere. I’m a human being. I have a mother. And a father.

DECK

Oh my, LORD. Shut up, Jameson! You are such a little girl!

(doubling over laughing)

Crying a fucking river. People ask these questions, you do know that, don’t you? How old are you? What’s your name? Who are you? Do you even know? What happened to Jameson Hart?

DECK

Does she make you a better person?

DECK

Why won’t you just listen to me?

JAME

Because you only ever speak in fucking questions! You’re never forthright!

DECK

“Forthright.”

JAME

Can’t ever just come the fuck out and say it! Always gotta run around in fucking circles, around and around. Unnecessary, dog. You’re --

(laughs)

You’re unnecessary.

DECATUER

You think you’re learning something! But you’re not! You just do the same thing -- make the same mistake ALL OVER AGAIN -- and you think it looks prettier because you want it to look that way. But I see it, too, J. Because we’re not getting any younger. And it’s getting fucking sad. You can’t look at yourself in the mirror everyday and forget who you are... That’s just not -- you   know... who you are. Even if you don’t know it yet.

JAMISON: --bitten off a little more than I can chew... (A.P. doesn’t respond ) Okay. Let’s be honest. It’s really... none of your business....
