The Cigarette

Yeah, It was the worst date ever. Just, it was awful.

Who goes to a diner and orders spaghetti? Oh yeah.

He was, he was embarrassing. It was all over the place.

Yeah. I still didn't wanna be there.

It was the worst day ever. He's such a loser. Then.

We were trying to leave, we were leaving, walking out,

and he tried to gimme a kiss as he was getting on his bike.

Yeah. Yeah. I, I'll never do that again.

Ever. Watch where you're walking Whiskey Willie.

Hey Brenda. Are you still there?

Anyway, sorry about the date.

Hopefully you will meet someone soon.

The next one will ask you for your hand in marriage.

Don't worry, honey, things are looking out for you.

I have to go that way. We're gonna slip.

Yeah, well go that way. And you won't.

But it's not gonna fit in the, in here like that. Yes.

It'll open the other door.

You're gonna be able to get in that way.

Go. It's not gonna fit. Yes, it will just go.

I'm trying. Just do, what the fuck?

Ah,

So Fourth dungeon.

Okay, fourth dungeon.

There's a guy, you have to get the sword from him.

Now, what you gotta first do is you gotta get

past all of his guards.

Right? So there's gonna be like this dragon looking guy.

I don't know what the hell he is. He's like a dragon.

And what?

Help, help, help.

Please, please help, help, help.

Police. Put it down. I mean it, man.

Put the knife down and take a step back.

Right now.

Holy shit. I knew this guy in High school?

Jasmine, come on. I need to get to work. Oh, hello there.

You don't even have a job. Why are you showering first?

I just wanted to look cute for.

You. Right?

I'm so tired of your selfishness.

I've had enough of paying for everything. What.

Are you talking about? I paid

for this pedicure. Okay.

And when was the last time you did something?

Not for you, but for us?

Um, Exactly. You're a slob and a fuck up.

What Do you mean? Where are my shoes?

Come. Let's do a quickie.

I don't have time. I'm running late. Where are my shoes?

I don't know where your shoes are. Whatcha are you doing?

Cannot find. Can you stop throwing

my shoes? I got these are,

I can't find my shoes. These.

Are very expensive shoes. You know,

Look at this shit, Jasmine.

See all this stuff? This is why you've been feeling heavier

on top of me the last few months, right?

Is all you ate this? Is this crap enough?

I'm tossing it. Baby. No,

Don't have your junk. Throw away my food.

You'll have some more motivation to go.

And draw. I'm gonna throw away your toys, then.

They are not toys. They're collectibles.

And they are very fuckingg expensive. Collectible.

Who is this Spiderman.

Well, who is this Wonder Woman? Captain American? Yeah.

Whatever. What is this Power Ranger? What are you? 12.

You know what? Get out. What do you mean get out?

I mean, leave my house. I've had enough.

Enough of what? Enough Of you and your shit.

What are you doing? Oh, okay. You want away my stuff?

I'll throw away your stuff too. Stop throwing my shoes off.

Take your stuff and leave. What are you talking about?

I'm talking about we're over. It's done.

Are you serious? Yes. Get outta my house.

Steve. Do you mean it?

I've never been more serious about anything in my life.

Leave.

Well, can I at least get an Uber?

It's too many things for me to carry. I am not even dressed up.

Take this. Take a subway, a car, whatever you need to,

to get as far away from here as you can.

I don't care.

Mary. Dad,

Jazmine. What are

you doing here? Oh, you look upset.

What happened now? Oh,

Steve broke up with me.

He kicked me out. Not again, dad.

How what'd you do this time? What'd you do this time?

He said that I don't pay the bill.

That I waste too much water. And, you know, sounds.

Pretty familiar. Sounds.

Familiar, doesn't it?

Hmm. Anyway, I'm gonna go to my room. No, no,

No. Jasmine, you

can't go to your room.

We rented it two months ago. I told you that.

Apparently you weren't listening again.

Dad. Hi.

Who the hell is this? I'm

Stan. Can

you kick him out? Hell no. Absolutely not.

Awkward. He's a great tenant.

Stan pays rent. He doesn't waste money like you do.

You, you take two hour showers, Jasmine,

You keep the lights on all the time.

You keep the gas stove burning.

Mary, I told you that was when I was 12 years old

and I didn't know that. Listen,

Firecracker. Jasmine,

you are an adult.

You need to get an apartment and get a job.

Daddy am your little princess,

Princess of darkness, maybe. Mm-Hmm?

You Need to support. We're going on.

Vacation yourself. Oh, yes

we are. Oh,

That's just perfect. I

could just get the sleeping bag in the garage

and put it in the living room and stay here. Watch. No.

Hell no. That's not happening.

We're afraid you'll burn it down again.

Stan will watch the house. We

don't need you to watch the house.

Come on. No. You guys serious?

Yes. You need to go. This is not happening again.

Come back when you have a job.

Okay? I see what's happening here. You know what?

I'm gonna prove it to you, Mary and you dad.

I'm gonna find a job and prove to you

that I'm a very independent, responsible woman.

Good. Do that. We would love that.

We would love it. All right. Goodbye, Mary.

Goodbye, dad. Goodbye. And you too, Stan.

Goodbye. Can you? She seems nice.

Ugh. What now, Jasmine, Can I get an Uber?

You're seriously crazy. I love you, but no, goodbye.

Oh, An Uber. The princess wants an Uber. Well,

She didn't ask for a rental car. Look at the.

Good side. She's got her mother's genes.

Yeah. A hundred percent.

Sarah. My

best friend of whole world. How are you? Long time. No see.

What do you want?

I listen. I need a place to crash.

No, Why.

Not? You are not staying

with me.

Look I love you so much,

but you are the most self-centered person.

I know. You're not gonna freeload off of me.

Listen, today is the day

that I'm gonna change my life around.

It's gonna be a new me. Um, I also need a job.

Okay, well, if I hear anything, I will let you know.

Uh, what about here? You seem to be working by yourself.

You seem like you need some help, Jasmine.

No. I love you, but you ruin everything.

And if I hire you, we're both gonna get fired.

Come On. I'm not the manager.

I I don't hire people anyways.

Well, can I at least have a place to crash?

Please, please. Listen. Listen please.
