So 17 ehh?

BEN
Yup.

How you feel?

BEN
Tired.

WILL
Why?

I’ve slept about 2 hours in the last 24.

WWILL
That would explain it.

BEN
Yup.

WILL
So 17.

BEN
Yeah.

WILL
Feel any different?

BEN
Nope.

WILL
You sure?

BEN
Unless the tiredness is from that and not lack of sleep.

WILL
So no.

BEN
Yeah.

WILL
That’s too bad.

BEN
Not really.

WILL
How so?

BEN
It always happens.

WILL
True.

BEN
You never feel different or older or anything.

WILL
That’s true I guess.

BEN
Yeah.

WILL
Still too bad though.

BEN
Yup.

WILL
There’s always one upside though.

BEN
Yeah?

WILL
You can go to any movie you want now if you know what I mean.

BEN
To the movie theater!

(They laugh.)

(Pause.)

WILL
So no different?

BEN
Nope.

WILL
That’s a shame.

BEN
Yup.

(Blackout.)
