[Grubby and cobwebby, Nathan is slouched on his bed, smoking a joint. He's definitely not feeling his usual self, looking a bit more withdrawn than he would normally.]

So, I think I died last night. Either that, or someone slipped me some really bad acid. [He stops and groans there, squeezing his eyes shut and dragging a hand down his face.] I don't know. I'm kind of fuzzy on the details.

On the plus side, immortal. So, I don't have to worry about that zombie shit the rest of you lot have going. Down side... actually, I don't think there is a down side to dying, in this case. I mean, it's that or I got raped by some big, beefy bloke while having the worst trip of my life. [Pauses, looking mildly disgusted as he pictures that.] Yeah... let's not go there.

[He waves a dismissive hand at the camera.]

Anyway, I have this letter... bill... thing. Just so you know, I didn't buy anything, so you can forget about me paying it. Thanks.

[He takes one last, long drag off the joint, then pushes himself forward to stub the end out and turn off the camera.]

Certainly not much.

Yeah. You keep believing that.

I think you've find that I'm not the one who's deluding themselves.

Now I'm convinced that's not only pot you're smoking.

Well, it is.

Pot and tobacco, pure as the driven snow.

Pure crack with the way you're talking.

Nah, crack's not my thing. I'd rather just do speed, or something.

Speed stinks. Never again.

[Yeah, Angela's speaking from experience. This girl here, man.]

Better than crack, at least. Cheaper, too, usually.

[Such a badass, Angela. At least she's nicer than this guy.]

You end up getting what you pay for.

Are you kidding me? Crack won't even get you high for an hour. And that's not even going into how much it messes with you. It's not worth paying out for it.

Oh, like speed gives you the best high you'll ever had without any side effects.

[What is this conversation?]

I'm not looking for the best high I'll ever have. I'm looking for one that'll last.

[Idk, man. Drugs.]

The one that'll last is the best one you'll ever have.

So, what would you recommend?

I can't, really. I usually stuck to pot and I gave that up a long time ago and God knows what you can find here. I just know meth was the worst couple of days I ever had.

Meth? Jesus. If that's the speed you've taken, no wonder you don't like it. That shit fucks you up big time.

Tell me about it. And I had to work the next day once. Never again.

[Okay, sorry. He's laughing now.]

See, this is exactly why I don't work. Why didn't you take the day off?

I was forced to come in. I didn't have a choice.

[Not to mention that meth she inhaled had a dead body with it.]

Urgggggggghhhh, so? Don't show up, anyway. What are they going to do?

[All the more reason to avoid it!]

Fire me?

[She says this in the most obvious way. Some people don't have it as good as you, Nate.]

Yeah. That's what they have benefits for.

[For a homeless person, he is surprisingly well off.]

I'd rather work for my expenses, thanks.

Sounds like you really know how to have fun.

Eh, I try.
