- Your mom let me in.

- Don't let her come in.  I'm mad at her.

- So you haven't been going to school?

- I'm too traumatized to go.

- You afraid of seeing Hamlet?

- I'm afraid of everyone.

- Oh, come on, Today.

- Lala saw me cry.

- Well, she knows you're the sensitive type.  And girls like that...they say.

- Then why's she with Hamlet?

- Well, he's in touch with his emotions, too.

- She's my soulmate.  

- I know...Well, have you eaten?

- My mom got me orange chicken.  She wanted to cook me soup and meat and potatoes but I yelled at her and said, "Look at my face!" 

- What was she thinking?

- Tomorrow I think I'll send her for Hawaiian BBQ.

- You know, Today, I don't know how traumatized you are if you're planning out your comfort food for the week.

- No, trust me, I am.  Burger King just sent me new coupons in the mail.

 - What if your face is back to normal tomorrow? Oh, stop crying.

- Can I tell you something?

- Sure

- You won't laugh?

- Not if it's going to make you cry.

- Well—No, you're going to laugh.

- No, I'm going to leave.

- Well...I've always thought of myself as a gangster.

- (laughs) A gangster? 

- Like De Niro or Soprano.

- Oh yea, of course.  Now I can see it.

- When I walk down the street, I always picture people I pass, like strangers, whispering things to me.

- Whispering—what?  What kind of things?

- You know.

- No, I don't know.  

- You know...

- What?

- That they took care of that thing for me, and I nod—and we're wearing overcoats that cover our mouths—

- So the FBI don't read your lips?

- Yea, so others don't know we're in cahoots.

- You're priceless, Today—wait, are you trying to get me to beat up Hamlet for you?

- No, I mean, real gangsters don't fight.  We look too good to fight.  

- Yea, you'll mess up your coats.

- Why would he punch me?

- You said his wife was your horse, Today.  It must have caught him off guard walking in, and that's the only reaction he knows.

- He can't even speak English.  This is his third year in class.

- I'm sure he knows a couple words at least...

- Lala's only with him cause he has a Range Rover.

- Only for a little while.

- What do you mean?  Are you going to say something to Lala about me? Say only good things. 

- (laughs) You gangster, yea, I'll take care of it for you.

- Wait till I start making moves.

- Then you don't want to miss too much of class, Today.
