“So how are you liking the rain?”
TONY
“Are you kidding? You gotta be sorry for the kids. I can tell you, when I was a kid, we always had snow for Christmas. Of course, we didn’t have global warming back then, if you know what I mean.”
The word from the street
PHILIP
“Where’d you go after I saw you last night?”
TONY
“Well I sat at that drug store until almost 3 o’clock. You want to know how much I made in 6 hours?”
PHILIP
“How much?”
TONY
“$7.50′”
PHILIP
“And then what?”
TONY
“I went and slept up in the park there.”
PHILIP
“It was cold.”
TONY
“I know that’s for sure.”
PHILIP
“You couldn’t find anywhere else?”
TONY
“I’m telling you, Phil, if I could’ve, I would’ve.”
TONY
“You got any smokes?”
PHILIP
“Hey mn, you know I don’t smoke.”
TONY
“What do you mean … I’ve seen you smoking.”Hell, you;ve had one with me the other day, for god’s sakes.”
PHILIP
“Well, that’s kinda my point. I don’t carry smokes. I bum ’em off you or someone. Even you. You know that.”
TONY
“Well right now, I gotta admit, I wish you smoked.”
PHILIP
“Too bad; so sad.”
PHILIP
Things are getting weirder and weirder if you ask me.”
TONY
“Did I ask you?”
PHILIP
“Sorry, but our Prime Minister getting a unprecedented public rebuke from the Chinese Premier, now that’s something. It’s another nail, as they say.”
TONY
“I’m getting that you don’t like this guy Harper.”
PHILIP
“Personally, I don’t know if I like him. I’ve never met him. But politically? He’s dangerous, if you ask me.
TONY
“How about we talk about something else?
PHILIP
“OK. What?”
