Life: The Biggest Troll

The Boy gets up in no hurry, like he is in slow motion while everything is fast around him, and walks out the back door

He stares at the pool

...would it just have been better to go out like that...

INT.- Empty road with rocks and brown shrubbery; sunset

Sounds are still muted, heartbeat is slower

The Boy walks down the roadside, head down

Heart beating interrupted by car's engine; "Rapper's Delight" blasting from speakers

Car flies by. The Boy doesn't look up

After 15 seconds of more walking, the same car comes back around

Window is rolled down, music still blaring. It's James Franco

James: (obnoxious screaming) hey maaaan! You o.k??!

The Boy: (emotionless) I'm fine

James: oh shiiit you're [edit]'s kid, man he threw the best parties! How's he doing these days?

Birds fly overhead. James stares at The Boy

James: Shit, well, anything I can do?

The Boy: Man I just need a smoke and some In-n-Out

INT.- Empty Parking Lot overlooking city; night

"All Along" by Kid Cudi plays faintly on the radio

The Boy and James sit in the car with their burgers, eating in comfortable silence

The Boy: Do you ever just feel alone? Separate? Like you are watching yourself live but not living? Like you have all the friends, all the things- they would make everyone else happy- but you just aren't?

James: All the time

The Boy: How do you make it go away?

James looks over and gives one of those sarcastic grin-smirks he always does, but his eyes seem sad

James: You don't

The Boy shrugs and bites into his burger

Camera pans out slowly, focusing on The Boy eating. Camera pans until the whole empty parking lot is shown
