　　’’em？
　　
　　SEAN
　　I did.
　　
　　WILL
　　That must have taken you a long time.
　　
　　SEAN
　　Yeah， it did take me a long time.
　　
　　Sean says this with pride. His determined stare and confident
　　manner catch Will a bit off guard. Will rises from his chair
　　and goes to the shelf.
　　
　　WILL
　　（looking at book）
　　"A History of the United States， Volume
　　I." If you want to read a real history
　　book， read Howard Zinn’’s "A People’’s
　　History of the United States." That
　　book will knock you on your ass.
　　
　　SEAN
　　How about Noam Chomsky’’s "Manufacturing
　　Consent？"
　　
　　WILL
　　You people baffle me. You spend all
　　this money on beautiful， fancy books--
　　and they’’re the wrong fuckin’’ books.
　　
　　SEAN
　　You think so？
　　
　　WILL
　　Whatever blows your hair back.
　　
　　Will returns to his chair. Pause.
　　
　　SEAN
　　（indicating cigarette）
　　Guy your age shouldn’’t smoke so much.
　　Stunt your growth.
　　
　　WILL
　　You’’re right. It really gets in the
　　way of my jazzercizing.
　　
　　Sean does not seem at all affected by Will’’s attitude. He
　　remains behind the big desk with almost half a smile on his
　　face. Will is aware of Sean’’s confidence.
　　
　　WILL （cont’’d）
　　Do you lift？
　　
　　SEAN
　　Yes， I do.
　　
　　WILL
　　Nautilus？
　　
　　SEAN
　　Free weights.
　　WILL
　　Oh yeah？ Me too. What do you bench？
　　
　　SEAN
　　285.
　　
　　WILL
　　Oh.
　　
　　Will gets up again and moves around his chair to Sean’’s
　　painting. It is a picture of an old sailboat in a tremendous
　　storm--by no means a masterpiece. Will studies it.
　　
　　WILL （cont’’d）
　　You paint this？
　　
　　SEAN
　　Yeah. Do you paint？
　　
　　WILL
　　No.
　　
　　SEAN
　　Crayons？
　　
　　WILL
　　This is a real piece of shit.
　　
　　SEAN
　　Tell me what you really think.
　　
　　WILL
　　Poor color composition， lousy use of
　　space. But that shit doesn’’t really
　　concern me.
　　
　　SEAN
　　What does？
　　
　　WILL
　　The color here， see how dark it is？
　　It’’s interesting.
　　
　　SEAN
　　What is？
　　
　　WILL
　　I think you’’re one step away from
　　cutting your ear off.
　　
　　SEAN
　　Oh， "Starry Night" time， huh？
　　
　　WILL
　　You ever heard the saying， "any port in
　　a storm？"
