• Ryan : [Seth has been smoking pot due to stress of going to college]  Well, it's-it's-it's almost 3:30. Isn't our interview at 4:00?

  Seth : [high]  What're you talking about?

  [looks at clock] 

  Seth : Hey, how'd that happen?

  Ryan : Well, are you ready?

  Seth : Am I ready? Do me a favor.

  [pulls up shirt sleeve and feels bicep]

  Ryan : No, dude, no.

  Seth : Okay, you don't wanna touch another man. I get it.

  [Ryan frowns and sniffs the air] 

  Seth : I get it. You find my slender swimmers body, um, intimidating.

  Ryan : [confused]  Something smells.

  Seth : No, it doesn't. No, it doesn't. But they say the first sign of, uh, a brain tumor is, uh, phantom smells, so you should lie down.

  [Ryan finds can of air freshener] 

  Seth : Hey. Hey. You solved it. You figured it out. That's- You're mystery solver. You're like Encyclopedia Brown. Remember Encyclopedia Brown? He went on down to Texas to solve the mystery of the Great Shootout.

  [Ryan moves the book off of the ashtray] 

  Seth : I wouldn't.

  Seth : [Ryan picks up ashtray and holds it out to Seth]  I don't know how that got there.

• Seth : Where do I see, ah, myself in ten years? That's a good question. OK. Ah, well I guess, more than anything, you know what I would like? I would like the happiness that I have, right now. Although I guess, what are the chances of that? I mean, you go through your life and you're probably only gonna be able to look back and pinpoint, like, two or three times where you were genuinely actually happy. And then, of course, in those moments, you wouldn't have even appreciated it anyways, because who does, right? So, where do I see myself in ten years? Um, I guess, what I would like is, ah, well I'd like to be right here. You know what I mean? Right now, in this moment. And, ah, not because I'm afraid of uncertainty, because I'm not. It's just, you know, I was taught that when you have something good, what you're supposed to do is you hang on to it. You know? You hang on to it with both hands. And if somebody tries to take that from you, what you should do is you should make sure that they pry it from your cold dead fingers. Yeah.
