‘What’s with
your attitude
all the time?’
WEIS: My attitude.
For five months
I’ve watched you
sit around, eat,
and play games
When are you
going to start
doing things
for yourself?
LANDYN: I know,
I shouldn’t be
on assistance.
But it’s hard
for me to find
a normal job.
WEIS: Come on
Land, it’s not easy
for anyone.
You haven’t even
tried.
[ Landyn gets up
from his chair and
walks over to Weis ]
When I was a teen,
at one of my first
modeling gigs
I had a major break-
down and it ended
my career.
WEIS: What kind of
break down?
LANDYN: Because
I didn’t like my
pay I decided
to fuck their
studio up.
Wreck it.
Three grand
In damages.
WEIS: You didn’t
get locked up?
LANDYN: No, but
they shipped me
off to a mental
institution for
six years.

KYLE: Oh yeah?
ACE: Yes. . .
What do you
think of Ace’s cut

about my future.
WEIS: It’s a camera.
What about it?
LANDYN: I’ve always
liked photography.
Why don’t you
come closer
and let me
try it out?
WEIS: Fine, only
a few though.
[ Weis stays still
as he snaps
photos. . . ]
‘Ok, now
hand me
the towel.’
WEIS: Uh,
I don’t think
so babe.
LANDYN: Why
not, you’re
mine aren’t

of your shit.
