Wasting Time

- Hi, welcome back! How you doin?

- I’m doing good, you?

- Oh, I’m busier than a one legged man in an ass kicking contest.

- …

- … Any news?

- … No news. Same shit.

- …

- …

- Got a cigarette?

- I haven’t, I eventually gave up.

- Good. I tried to, but it’s so hard.

- I know. Hard, but not impossible.

- I saw you on TV. Mary and I got tremendously sad. How could it happen?

- Dunno. You know, life is a wheel and sometimes, suddenly, somebody put a spoke in it. You can’t do anything, even though you can take it anymore. I told ya, same shit every single day of your fucking life.

- Yeah, life sucks.

- Oh no, it doesn’t. We suck.

- …?

- Don’t you get what I mean?  

- Actually I don’t.

- Well, listen up: we get what we deserve. Nothing less, nothing more.

- It sounds creepy and you’re freakin’ me out. You mean she got what she deserved, huh?

- Well, that’s the way it goes…

- Oh man, I really don't like your attitude, what's wrong with you?

- Nothing. well, I lost what I used to think was the most important thing in my life, apart from that, nothing. 

- She was? 

- I told you, we get what we deserve as she did.

- Well, gotta go now. It's been nice to see you again. Let's keep in touch, okay?

- Sure. Pass along my greetings to Mary.

- Okay. See ya, Buddy.

- ... Idiot.
