MOIRA
you're a funny guy.

TROY
just demented.

MOIRA
you are like the coolest guy i know.

TROY
that doesn't speak too highly of your breadth of friends.

MOIRA
no seriously. you just don't care. you don't care what you look like ...

TROY (thinking to self)
i thought i looked pretty nice

MOIRA
or what people think of you.

TROY (thinking to self)
i mean i ironed these pants right before leaving

MOIRA
i bet you were like one of those trenchcoat mafia guys in high school, all mysterious and rebellious.

TROY
well, i will vouch for the fact that a lot of people pictured me wearing a trenchcoat but it was in more of a perverted, no pants kinda way.

MOIRA
i don't believe it.

TROY
moira. i'm telling you, i was a total non-event in high school. i mean i knew people, but just in the know your name kind of way. but, now i know that that was the best thing that could have happened to me. if you train yourself to be anonymous in youth, you're all about being ready for adulthood, because the quaterback of the football team and the queen of the prom will never know that kind of celebrity again. nobody knowing or caring who you are has to be a hard thing to get used to if you're not used to it. where i come from, where we come from, we're accustomed to being ignored so it's no big deal and things can only go up and times will only get better because you're now judged and accepted on a more logistical and mental front.

MOIRA
but i was the star of the basketball team and the homecoming queen.

TROY
oh.

MOIRA
yeah, what then.

TROY
uhhhmmm.

(thinking very intensley for a moment, more of a cerberal scramble actually)

i gotta tell you moira ...

(i'm utterly unable to devise an out)

i got nothin' here.
