A Real Pain (2024) - II

David:

what are you gonna do?


Benjie:

Oh, man! Why the fuck you asking me that?


David:

I wanna make sure you're good and that you have, like, a plan!

Sorry, maybe I'm a little stoned.

I'm sorry!


Benjie:

No. It's all right. And, like, what are you

gonna do when you go home?


David:

I don't know. Go back to, like, my job and my family I guess! The usual.


Benjie:

Great. I look forward to

speaking to you in six months.


David:

What does that mean?


Benjie:

You know what it means, man.


David:

Do I?


Banjie:

I don't really wanna start anything.


David:

Okay, good. Then don't!


Benjie:

You used to be fucking different, man!

You used to be so emotional.

You used to fucking cry about everything, man.

Like...


David:

Yeah, I know. It was awful. Who the fuck wants to cry about everything?


Benjie:

Dave, man, you're not fucking listenin' to

me, man. I'm saying that we used to be 

different. Like, "we."


David:

Yeah. Benji, I have, like, a job and a family.


Benjie:

Mm. I know.


David:

And I don't have time to hang out with you 

all night, every night, okay?


Banjie:

I don't fucking want that.


David:

Yes, you do. You're, like, an all-

encompassing person.

I don't think you realize that.


Benjie:

Man, I'm just saying, like, you, like...

literally never visit me.


David:

What, in...

Sorry, you mean in Binghamton?


Benjie:

Yeah, man, that's where I live.


David:

Well, yeah, I'm busy, okay?

And I live in New York City. Isn't it easier for

you to come down to me?


Benjie:

Easier? It's the same fucking distance, 

Dave.


David:

Yeah, but it's New York City, man. It's, like, 

the more logical place to visit than fucking Binghamton, with all due respect.


Benjie:

What's wrong with Binghamton?


David:

Nothing is wrong with Binghamton.

You are, like, purposefully making me look 

like an asshole for questioning it.


Benjie:

Yo, fuck off, dude.


David:

You fuck off.


Benjie:

Why don't you give a shit about me anymore?


David:

I do give a shit about you.

I just don't understand [tearfully] how you 

could do anything so fucking stupid to yourself…


Benjie:

Dave, man.


David:

Benji, I, like... I walk around with, like, this terrible fucking image of you in my head, okay?

And, yeah, I don't...

I don't wanna lose you, okay?

Do you see how people love you?

Do you see what happens when you walk into a room? I would give anything to know

what that feels like.

But you light up a room and then you, like, 

shit on everything inside of it."
