JJ: You met Bateman a few times didn't you?

???: I did. With you. He was a jackass.

JJ: Bateman is an acquired taste. Or maybe I should say 'was' an acquired taste.

???: What happened?

JJ: How have you never heard this story kid? Sam never told you? You been around.

???: Well what the fuk happened JJ? [JJ PAUSES AND TAKES DEEP DRAG FROM PIPE AND EXHALES]

JJ: For someone who asks a lot of questions you really leave something to be desired in the way of timing.

???: Fuk you Corbin.

JJ: Jay. Vegas. You look confused. Jay Vegas. Buried him. Rocky helped. Up to his fukkin neck, kid. He was done. Had his shit pushed in big time too.

???: Jay? What? No way he was the one who buried Bateman.

[JJ TAPS PIPE. A FEW EMBERS FALL ONTO THE TABLE. JJ FIXATES ON THEM]

JJ: Well to be frank with you, the coup de grace was courtesy of the Russian. But Jay did most of the legwork.

???: I would fuk Jay up if he ever tried to bury me.

JJ: Don't be so cocky kid. I have seen tougher men than you buried by senior citizens. You still have a lot to learn kid. But you know that.

???: Fuk you JJ.
