[philosophics]

Yeah, you know.

[overdrafts]

Do I?

[philosophics]

You tell me, you seen good ol' Bobby Delaney around the neighborhood lately? Does he have a beer gut yet?

[overdrafts]

Pretty sure he's a divorced trucker somewhere with four kids.

[philosophics]

Yeah.

[overdrafts]

Not that being a gambling addict is much better.

[philosophics]

I don't wanna hear you talking that way. That useless sack of pre-ejaculate doesn't even compare. Everyone's got something, Clem.

[overdrafts]

[ Oh right, she's supposed to be pretending to be going to Columbia and kicking its ass still.]

Don't I know it.

[ Her something is just a huge monster that's out of control now.]

[philosophics]

[ . . . ]

I know you like your place on campus, but I've got your room here for you if you change your mind. Don't have to just stay the night and then run.

[overdrafts]

[ Now she's suspicious. He's hitting the nail on the head too many times.]

Okay, out with it. What do you know?

[philosophics]

Well, now I know there's something to know.

[ You played yourself, girlie. ]

[overdrafts]

Obviously, you know something or think something is up otherwise why are you offering me money or a place to stay?

[philosophics]

Clem [ god grant him patience ] as previously established you're into something I'm not supposed to worry about. Now you're talking like you're in trouble. What the fuck else am I supposed to think?

[overdrafts]

How about nothing?

[philosophics]

If you want to talk to a moron you can text Cliff.

[overdrafts]

You're the one who texted me.

[philosophics]

Yes, and you've chosen to respond to my texts.

[overdrafts]

And I don't respond to Cliff's.

[philosophics]

 
 
 
 
You don't? I didn't know about that.

[overdrafts]

He's a shitty brother.

[philosophics]

Well, I know that, but what did he do to you?

[overdrafts]

Nothing. He's never done anything for me either. Do you think he'd ever offer me his flea-infested couch? No.

He was dad's favorite and there's a reason for that.

[philosophics]

[ You make his cold, black heart keep beating, Clem. ]

You're a good girl. Just keep what I said in mind.

[overdrafts]

I'm going to do the whole pull myself up by my own bootstraps thing, C.

[philosophics]

Fine.
