ZACH

I’ll never learn how to play this frickin’ thing.

Hey buddy, it’s me. You wanna go sleddin’? I’ll meet you at the gravel pit in a li’l bit.

No shit. I thought you had a job.

ZACH

Yeah, but I need a REAL job. You know, in the biiig city.

JIM

You know you’re just gonna get shot down again.

ZACH

I never got shot down. They just found someone more qualified.

JIM

Yeah, whatever. You get that fire going yet?

ZACH

...I’m tellin’ ya man, they shoulda just put Dave back in the band when they had the chance. Dave just kicks ass. I know it, you know it, I know it, they know it, everybody knows it.

LEVI

Yeah, but Dave was a being a dick and hasn’t changed since he left in the first place. It would’ve never worked out.

ZACH

That’s so bullshit. They would’ve made like ten gazillion dollars and wouldn’t’ve cared.

LEVI

Hey, you all psyched up for the big game? It’s only a couple a weeks away.

ZACH

Well, umm, here’s the scoop. I sent more resumes out last week so I don’t know if I'll be around for it.

LEVI

Oh come on, not again.

ZACH

I’m sorry man, I just gotta get out of this hell hole.

LEVI

What is it? Is it the money? I mean, what is the reason you’re so bent on leaving?

ZACH

Well, the money, yes. And the fact that I still live with my parents. I’m twenty one years old for Christ’s sake. I’ve got the same job I had in high school and I’m just going nowhere.

LEVI

Well, I tell you what, I’ll shop around for an apartment for you. Then I’ll pay you enough to live there. How’s that?

ZACH

I don’t know...
