- What do you think of my English essay?  I'm supposed to write about people I admire.

- I can't believe you're doing this.  

- Why not?  You believed Marlboro Black was made in honor of you.

- Those classes are meant to teach newcomers English.

- I thought you said I was a newcomer?

- I said you're no spring chicken.  Nevermind.  Whatever.  Let me see:

People I Admire by Today.

I don't like people who are motivated by money because they make more money than me and start families.  Their success is measured by money and how many little ones they pop out, and technically that makes them more successful than me.  Lots of people I know are technically more successful than me.  Some are in business, and some are trying to become lawyers and doctors.  Women go with them because they provide security—

"Go with them?"

- Uh-huh.

- ... They are not artists.  Some artists make money off their work and they are also technically more successful than me.  A lot of these people ignore me.  I don't like these people because they are stupid, and they're motivated by money.  Some people I know have businesses or careers and make money.  They call me sometimes so we can go eat.  I like those people.

- What do you think?  I think it gives me street cred.

- You live with your parents.

- Days of the week don't live with their parents.

- At least pretend you're learning the language—you're sentences all, technically, make sense.

- Are you kidding?  Some of the people in there, the teacher already thinks are great writers.  But some keep failing. 

- Keep, "Go with Them."  Definitely.

- There's a husband and wife that keep arguing in class.

- Why?

- The husband doesn't want any of the other guys to look at her.
