What Separates Us

---

(SLOW MUSIC)

BATTER:
Come on Jack,

you throw like a f***ing girl.

This one's coming

right at your vagina.

Okay, it was a little high.

(METALLIC THWACK)

All right, this ones coming

right at your dick, sucker.

(LAUGHS)

Oh come on, come

on motherf***er.

I warned you, I warned you.

Not the face.

(MEN GRUNTING)

(HEAVY THUDS)

Oh sh*t.

(HEAVY THUD)

(CRACK)

Oh, how's your nose, Tony?

That looks like it hurt.

Let's go to Haps.

Let's go to the bar.

Bar.

(UPBEAT ROCK MUSIC)

MAN WITH LONG HAIR:

Where the f*** did you get this hat?

That's where I'm coming.

Goddamn.

Bill, I'm not even

kidding, though.

I saw this girl today.

She was like an angel.

Think about it.

Jealous.

Think about it.

It goes against biology.

We evolved from

chimpanzees and bonobos.

They just wiggle it around

in a bunch of places.

Oh yeah, I bet you

wiggle it around.

You been wiggling around in

all places, don't you, Jack?

(WHOOPS)

Why is he always

trying to make me run?

Danny, this isn't track,

you f***ing loser.

Hey.

Ah.

Hey, buddy.

Oh.

Where you been, dude?

How's your buddy Larry doing?

Larry, how you doing, buddy?

You're doing awesome, all right.

I'll drive today.

Come on, let's go get drunk.

Danny, Jack.

Two of the good stuff.

What are you gonna do, Jack?

Are you gonna stay

at the welding shop?

Are you gonna move on?

F***, I don't know, man.

Those f***ing guys.

But you're better

than that place, Jackie.

You are better than

that f***ing place, man.

JACK:
Yeah, but f***ing

bills gotta get paid, right?

I gotta pee, gotta

pee, I'll be back.

Fine, don't cheers me, b*tch.

I heard that.

Woah, Robby.

Where were you today, dude?

ROBBY:
What are you doin',

dude, this is the men's room.

(DANNY LAUGHS)

That's the way.

That's the f***ing way

of the future, bro.

Yeah.

You don't need to say

anything and I know you agree.

(GRUNTS) You know what I

mean, it was like (GRUNTS).

F*** you, dude, knock it off.

Get the f*** out of here.

Hey, that was me doing

all that, by the way.

Oh yeah, you beat his ass, Jack?

I f***ing cornered his nose.

(DANNY LAUGHS)

Jack, it kinda freaks me out

when you say sh*t like that.

Where's Nate, is he

hanging out with that homo?

Dude, f***ing Larry's the sh*t.

ROBBY:
Larry smells like sh*t.

Oh, dude.

What'll it be?

Am I right, am I right, Danny?

Hey, can I get two

beers and a whisky?

Anything else, you let me know.

Thanks.

God, wow.

DANNY:
Really?

F***, all right,

Bill, I need a shot

of whisky for my buddy, Jessie.

ROBBY:
He's gonna go for it.

He's gonna lose.

Yep.

Jessie!

There he goes.

So Janice is coming.

How was work?

WOMAN:
I hope so, she's with Mike.

At least he's cute.

So what are you ladies doing

hanging out with

Clark Kent here?

(CHUCKLES) Look who's

talking, Wolverine.

Ooh.

And you are?

Look, we're sort of in the

middle of a conversation.

DANNY:
So?

So you might have better

luck elsewhere tonight.

All right.

(CROWD CHATTER)

Jack, you gotta learn

to take criticism.

Oh my god, man, jeez.

ROBBY:
No go?

(LAUGHS) Oh f***, really?

Oh dude, I've never

seen that before.

ROBBY:
Shut the f*** up,

Jack, you didn't even try.

Aw, sh*t.

What?

I heard what you did to Tony.

DANNY:
Oh, I thought I broke his jaw.

You and your f***ing

club jumped him.

DANNY:
Get the f*** off me.

(GRUNTING)

(LOUD THUDS)

MAN:
Brennan caused a fight.

ROBBY:
Get the f*** out of here, Vince.

You got your f***ing

posse with you.

BILL:
Vince, get the f*** out.

VINCE:
I'll be seeing you.

(GRUNTS)

Nice, Vince, man.

F***ing missed it, dude.

Sorry, Bill.

JACK:
Sorry, Bill.

You know what I'm

talking about, Larry?

(CROWD CHATTER)

(SLOW GUITAR MUSIC)

Watch your light source.

So tomorrow, we'll

begin to cover modernism

and how it evolved from

the realistic style

of a neoclassical era.

This is gonna be

an exciting look

at the cultural movements

that began to move artists

into a new frame of

abstract thinking

(CLAPS) and that's a wrap.

Have a good day.

(WATER RUNNING)

I love everything about you

I see all that you can do

JESSIE:
Don't quit your day job, Danny.

Hey, Jessie.

Some day, I'm getting the

hell out of this town, man.

You've seen the I-15

going south, right?

Oh yeah.

That's my road to freedom, man.

That's my road to freedom.

You've been saying that since

you got this sh*t job, Danny.

So this Professor Heller

seems like she'll be okay.

I just hope she doesn't

turn out like Hanley.

She's more than

just a pretty scholar.

Her work has been

shown in New York.

This is huge.

For a professional artist,

she had a hell of a time

talking to a bunch

of college kids.

She's used to art

scholars in Chelsea.

She's just nervous.

Who's nervous?

Oh, our new

intermediate techniques

teacher, Professor Heller.

She's the one that replaced

Hanley after the incident.

Oh yeah, wasn't he the hot one?

Ooh.

Please.

(SLOW MUSIC)

Hey.

Hey, hey.

Yeah?

Drop these?

Thanks.

You an artist?

I'm really late for class.

Thank you.

DANNY:
Guys, what do you think

about getting out of here, man?

Why, man, go where?

DANNY:
I don't know, see the f***ing

world or something, you know?

What f***ing money, man?

I don't know,

some day we're gonna

have our own island, right Jack?

Yeah, yeah maybe I

could own my own island

if my parents gave

me some motivation.

At least you still

have your parents.

At least your parents

weren't f***ing druggies.

By a bunch of orphans

floppin' maniacs around.

ROBBY:
That's true, your

life is pretty f***ed up,

but at least you weren't

raised on the res.

Touche.

Yep, I'm f***ed.

DANNY:
You're f***ed?

I'm f***ed.

I'm f***ed, we're all f***ed.

Oh yes, man, we are

all f***ing f***ed!

(EVERYONE WHOOPS AND SHOUTS)

(CROWD CHATTER)

(DISHES CLINKING)

WOMAN:
Hey.

You were at the

bar the other day.

DANNY:
What bar?

Haps.

I don't think so.

Listen, sorry if I've been rude.

I'm Parker.

What?

I'm Parker.

Hey.

Okay.

See you around.

The government does not have

your best interests in mind.

I know, dude.

It's all a means

to an end for them.

Check it out.

I agree.

ROBBY:
The media, the internet,

it's all means of control.

I totally agree, dude.

Dude, they don't

want you to think.

You to be an individual.

It's f***ed, man.

Oh my god, would

you guys f***ing stop

with the conspiracy sh*t?

It depresses me.

That's 'cause your

life is depressing, Jack.

You know, the next

time you knuckleheads

start going around

screaming f*** America,

I'm gonna act like I

don't even know you.

(SLOW MUSIC)

(FOOTSTEPS)

DANNY:
My name's Daniel

and you can call me Danny.

Nice to meet you, Daniel.

Danny.

Oh, I love painting.

I'm just not crazy about how

things are run here, you know?

The program is nice,

but I don't wanna

put all my eggs in one basket.

I get scared to.

Yeah, that'll do it.

I'd like to get to New

York if I did though.

Yeah, New York would be awesome.

You don't seem

like a big city guy.
