Joe Versus the Volcano1990

Joe:
What's the matter?

Angelica:
Did you ever think about killing yourself?

Joe:
What... Why would you do that?

Angelica:
Why shouldn't I?

Joe:
Because some things take care of themselves. They're not your job; maybe they're not even your business. I like your poem.

Angelica:
I'm a grown woman and I live on my father's money. That restaurant that had my painting up, that's my father's restaurant.

Joe:
Why are you telling me?

Angelica:
I don't know. I'll tell anybody who'll listen. No, that's not true. I don't know why I'm telling you.

Joe:
Listen to me. If you have a choice between killing yourself and doing something you're scared of doing, why not take the leap and do the thing you're scared of doing?

Angelica:
You mean stop taking money and leave L.A.?

Joe:
You see? You know what you're afraid of doing. Why don't you do it? See what happens?

Angelica:
You must be tired.

Joe:
I don't mind talking.

Angelica:
Well, I do! This is one of those typical conversations where we're all open and sharing our innermost thoughts and it's all bullshit and a lie and it doesn't cost you anything!

Joe:
Look. I don't know you. I don't think I know anybody. You're angry, I can, I can see that. I'm very troubled. I'm not ready to... [sighs] There's only so much time. You wanna use it well. So I'm here, talking to you. I don't wanna throw that away.

Angelica:
I have no response to that.

Joe:
Then maybe you should take me back to the hotel.
