Glass (Crank 2)

Can’t tell her about my new

career, dealing to hookers.

New job? School? Uh…marriage?

[Quick, think up a lie.]

“I signed up for classes.”

Did you get your GED?

[Go ahead, lie bigger.]

“I did, in fact. Last month.”

Where are you going to school?

[She won’t believe a university.]

“Up at the community college.”

Good choice, all things considered.

[What does that mean?]

“Trey thought it was a good idea.”

You’re not really going to marry him?

[You’re not, are you?]

“What’s wrong with him?”

Kristina, he’s a total loser.

Blood pressure rising.

“He is not! And I love him.”

You don’t know what love is.

And rising. “I suppose no

one knows that but you?”

You’re too young to get married.

Not that old line. Answer:

“You got married at eighteen.”

To a total loser. Look what happened.

Ears burning. “I don’t care!

Your life isn’t mine.”

Lower your voice this instant.
