SCENE 6

INT. Inside Robbie's car.

Robbie Robinson

Man... say something.

Gale Hughes

Yeah... I'm fine.

Robbie Robinson

(smiling)

Hope you forget about your thoughts... about suicide...

Robbie looks at Gale. Again the man is too much serious. So Robbie's smile disappears from his face.

Robbie Robinson

(smiling)

You know... many years ago I was thinking like you. I said to myself "Robbie... kill yourself... cut your veins". But I didn't.

Gale Hughes

Why...?

Robbie Robinson

(smiling)

Because I don't like blood...

Gale Hughes

No... why did you want to kill yourself?

Robbie Robinson

(thinking)

Well...

Robbie thinks a little.

Gale Hughes

You're lying... You didn't think about that. You have everything anyone could want. You have a lovely mother. A beautiful child... and a pretty wife. Man... I want to fuck her so much...

Robbie Robinson

Whom... my mother...?

Gale Hughes

No...

Robbie Robinson

(trying to squeeze Gale's throat)

You son of a bitch... If you ever touch my girl... my child... I will...

Gale Hughes

No...! I was thinking about your wife...

Robbie lets the man alone. He smiles at him.

Robbie Robinson

Sorry. I thought that you... you know. Like... children...

Gale Hughes

No, man. You know me for 20 years. I was thinking of your wife... not your child. I was trying to tell you that I want to fuck your wife...

Robbie Robinson

(smiling and laughing)

Yeah... I understand. I also want to fuck her. But I actually fuck her... because she is my wife...

Both men laugh.

Gale Hughes

(laughing)

I want to put my "gem" inside her mouth. Then inside her pussy. Then inside...

Robbie Robinson

(upset)

Enough man...! She is my wife...

Gale stops. They are both serious.

After a few seconds of silence, Robbie breaks it.

Robbie Robinson

Look, man...I have this book. It helped me... Really. Please read it. You'll see if it helps you...

Gale Hughes

No, man...

Robbie Robinson

Please... read it for me... Please...

Gale looks at his friend. He really wants to help him.

Gale Hughes

Ok, Robbie... but after that I will do whatever I want. Tomorrow... Because it's my birthday... Fuck... tomorrow I'll be... 33... I think...

Robbie Robinson

Sure... Tomorrow you'll do whatever you want. It's your birthday...

Gale Hughes

And I'm not afraid of blood. I can cut whatever I want...

Robbie Robinson

(smiling)

Yes, I know...

The two men give a smile at each other.

Gale Hughes

You know, Robbie... You'll be the only thing... I will miss... if I die.

Robbie says nothing. He starts to cry...

Gale Hughes

Hey... I will read this book, man. Don't cry.

Robbie Robinson

(wiping his tears)

I love you, man...

Gale Hughes

I love you too, Robbie...

Gale touches his friend's shoulder. Robbie really cares about him.

Gale Hughes

It's nice to see that someone cares about you... Thank you.

He sighs.

Gale Hughes

I'd better get inside now. I need to clean the house and then to read this book that will make me love life. So... good night, Robbie.

Robbie Robinson

Good night, Gale...

And Gale gets out of the car and enters.
