EXT. LAKE - DAY

Two guys, GREG and DAN, sit in a boat fishing.

GREG

Can i tell you something without changing
your opinion of me?

DAN

Sure.

GREG

On my twenty-second birthday I had sex
with ten women.

DAN

Jesus.

GREG

Yeah, I was fucked up back then though.

DAN

I guess so.

GREG

I'm not saying it was a bad thing or a
good thing. It just happened.

DAN

Yeah.

GREG

Things happen, you know Dan?

DAN

Yeah.

GREG

For instance, i have no fucking clue how
Jack got where he is. Jesus. That guy is
fucking insane.

DAN

Probably slept his way there.

they both share a chuckle.

GREG

Seriously, the other day he just left to
go golfing. Fucking Golfing. Can you
believe that?

DAN

The funny part is that i can believe it.

GREG

Yeah. Some of the stuff he has me doing
is just fucking insane.

DAN

I believe it.

Greg casts his reel again.

GREG

I mean, he's just a few shy of the
sixpack ya know? Remember last year's
picnic?

DAN

Oh yeah.

GREG

He basically had her dress off! i mean
cricket is cricket but the lesson only
goes so far ya know? Fucking insane.

Dan gives a slight chuckle.

GREG (CONT'D)

Seriously, if you only knew half the
stuff... Did you hear about how he
flipped last friday?

DAN

No, what'd he do?

GREG

It was serious... totally fucking insane
I tell you.

DAN

I bet. I heard he can be pretty vicious.

GREG

Vicious is right Dan. The man is a...
what are they called...
those wasps that paralyze those fucking
huge tarantulas and lay their fucking
eggs in them so the baby wasps can eat
him while he's still alive?

DAN

Spider Wasps?

GREG

Yeah... i have a friend... he used to
live in Arizona. One day he was coming
out of the grocery store and a pack or
whatever you call a bunch of Spider Wasps
started chasing after him.

DAN

Jesus.

GREG

Yeah. He got in his car and they started
banging against the windows, like Cujo or
something.

DAN

Wow.

GREG

yeah. Big fucking things... that's Jack
man. The big fucking insane Spider Wasp.

DAN

I believe it.

GREG

You better. You should hear some of the
shit he's telling me to do.

Dan looks over at greg.

DAN

I bet.

Greg looks into the lake for a beat.

GREG

Anyway...

DAN

Yeah... so ten women huh?

FADE TO BLACK.
