Yeah. French writer. Total loser. Never had a real job. Unrequited love affairs. Gay. Spent 20 years writing a book almost no one reads. But he's also probably the greatest writer since Shakespeare. Anyway, he, uh, he gets down to the end of his life, and he looks back and decides that all those years he suffered, those were the best years of his life, 'cause they made him who he was. All those years he was happy? You know, total waste. Didn't learn a thing. So, if you sleep until you're 18-- ah, think of the suffering you're gonna miss. I mean high school? High school-- those are your prime suffering years. You don't get better suffering than that.

Can you see a letter, Dwayne?
It's an "A". See? Right there?
It's bright green.
****!!!!!! ****!!!!! [he collapses, screaming and sobbing, after breaking his nine-month vow of silence]
What happened?
He's colorblind. He can't fly.
Oh, Jesus. Oh, no. [waits several moments, then approaches Dwayne] Dwayne? Dwayne, honey, I'm sorry. Dwayne, come on. We have to go.
I'm not going.
Dwayne.
I said I'm not, okay? I don't care, I'm not getting on that bus again.
Dwayne, for better or worse, we're your family.
No, you're not my family, okay? I don't want to be your family! I hate you **** people! I hate you! [points to Sheryl, Richard, and Frank as he shouts] Divorce, bankrupt, suicide?! You're **** losers! You are losers!
