Aaron
Aldous? Aldous. Aldous, I can't sleep.
Aldous
The adrenaline'll wear off soon, Aaron. Just be patient. Go back to sleep.
Aaron
I can't sleep, man. This adrenaline is just... It's like coursing through my whole body!
Aldous
Aaron, don't be selfish. I'm really tired. I've had a really difficult few days. Been under a lot of pressure. Just let me relax.
Aaron
No! No!
Aldous
Aaron, you're being strange.
Aaron
No!
Aldous
Aaron, don't be selfish. I'm sleeping.
Aaron
No! You've kept me up for three days, you got me all Jeffreyed up, and you stabbed me in the arm with an adrenaline needle! You're staying up and talking to me!
Aldous
I gave you that adrenaline for your own good. Your life was in jeopardy. I'm like a guardian angel.
Aaron
Your dad. Your dad, man. That sucks. That was crazy, man.
Aldous
He's all right. He's just trying to live his life, isn't he?
Aaron
He's not all right. He uses you. You let people use you. Sooner or later you're gonna be all used up!
Aldous
Yeah, a lot of the time when people are on drugs, they come up with sentimental rubbish. But this is brilliant.
Aaron
Ha, ha. I know you're making fun of me, but I don't care.
Aldous
No, you've made me happy. Just let me sleep now.
Aaron
You know what I'm gonna do when I get home? No, this is good. I'm gonna get on my hands and knees, and I'm gonna beg Daphne to take me back. It's gonna be shameful. But that's what you should do. Because Jackie is your Daphne!
Aldous
I think it's a bit more complicated than that, mate.
Aaron
No. Underneath that hair is a brain and a heart just like mine.
Aldous
No, I think your brain is full of lollipops and rainbows and cheese and wonder. Mine's slightly darker. [Aaron has tightly shut eyes and with cheeks quivering] Aaron, you seem very tense. Stop it. Aaron! You're growling. I don't like your spasm. [Aaron has opened eyes very glazed and unfocused] You're being strange. [Aaron is slamming himself back and forth in seat] Stop it. Stop it. [To driver] Sorry. Sorry.
