ANTHONY
i can read.
TROY
you can read? really?
ANTHONY
yes. but it's a secret.
TROY
why's it a secret? you should be thrilled you can read. you should be running down the sidewalk yelling I CAN READ! I CAN READ!
ANTHONY
it's a secret because, and you can't tell anyone, not even mom, but i lived one hundred and twenty years ago and i was married with a woman. she was a scientist. and she made this stuff she put on her lips and then i kissed with her and it sent me into the future.
TROY
oh. and that's how you got here?
ANTHONY
yes. and that's why you can't tell mom or anyone that i can read.
