can build a whole virtual world and

put whatever you want in it. Andmake it big or small or whatever.

AMY:

Let me see. If it’s a video game,

why’s it in a notebook?

ALLISTER:

I draw it out first to plan it so Iknow what to build and what to putin it instead of just winging it.

AMY:

What’s this?

This is our house. Here’s mybedroom. And here’s the baby’s

room.

But I don’t think Aaron will be

around much anymore.

my fingernails, leading me tobelieve that I ordered fries before

passing out on the floor. Lifehurts. But spending time with Dr.

Albert and welcome to sold out

Madison Square Garden where Knicks

fans are holding their breath to

see if Amar’e Stoudemire’s

trains you know it doesn’t touch

that third rail where the

electricity is and that red light

comes on and the power just shuts

off.

AMY:

Really?

ANGRY SUBWAY PATRON

No, I don’t f***ing know. Do I look

like I work for MTA?

AMY:

I don’t know.

ANGRY SUBWAY PATRON

purse now? What the f*** man? You

ask me some stupid sh*t.

I’m sorry.

JOSTLED SUBWAY PATRON

Don’t lean into me.
