Saving Paul Garon
(Paul Garon and his girlfriend
are sitting in a Ford Truck vehicle. They seem to be having a discussion
or altercation about a certain something special.)
Paul Garon: "Would it be alright if i just went with them for like
an hour or something and then we could just meet up after that, or something?"
Paul Garon's girlfriend:
"I knew they would convince you, Paul...you have no will power. Why
don't you just tell them to fuck off and come with me, you're with them
every night. (Trails off) Not that you care."
Paul Garon (frustrated):
"Well, I really don't know what to do. I'm sorry about this I really
am. I never meant for you to feel like this"
Paul Garon's girlfriend:
"I don't care what you do anymore."
(Paul Garon's two friends
show up at the rendezvous point)
Friend #1: "Hey, Paul
Garon! How ya doin' buddy? eh? Wanna smoke some cigarettes?"
Paul Garon: "No, man, I'm good right now. hey ah what are the plans
the--"
(Friend #1 Finds a lawn chair, climbs on top of Paul's vehicle and sits
down.)
(Friend #2 blows smoke in
Paul Garon's face relentlessly. In an effort by Paul Garon to shoo the
smoke lingering from the cigarette, he burns his finger on the cherry)
"Ouch! you asshole!"
Friend #1: (On top of the
car) "HEY YA GOT A LIGHTER?" (Pause) (whispers) "We're
saving you!"
Paul Garon: "What are
you talking about, and get off the top of my car man, thats disrespectful.
My fingers hurt!"
Friend #2: "Oh trust me, you'd rather have burned fingers than inhale
second-hand smoke."
Paul Garon's girlfriend:
"They're assholes! I'm leaving...Paul, call me!"
Friend #2: "Man, what
is her deal? Does she have a problem with us or something?"
Paul Garon: (Rubs face)
"I--I don't know man--it's just..."
Friend #1: "You're
such a pussy man, I mean, you have no will power."
