Hey, do you know this girl named Beth? She married Buddy Slade from school.
Yeah, I know that Beth.
What do you think of her?
I don't really like her. I mean, I think you're way prettier than she is. What happened to your dress? I'm sorry, did I say something wrong? Shit. What's wrong? What did I say?
I have a lot of problems.
Can't you get a new dress?
It's really difficult for me to be happy. And then for other people it just seems so simple. I know. They just grow up and they're so fulfilled.
I don't feel fulfilled. And frankly, if you don't feel fulfilled with all the stuff that you have.
I need to change, Sandra.
No, you don't.
What?
You're the only person in Mercury who could write a book or wear a dress like that.
I'm sure there's plenty of other people who could.
Everyone here is fat and dumb.
Don't say that. I mean, you think so?
Everyone wishes that they could be like you. You know, living in the big city all famous and beautiful and all that.
I'm not really famous.
Well, you know, special or whatever. I mean, some days when I have a slow shift at work I'll sit and think about you living in your cool apartment, going out and stuff. It seems really nice.
Yeah, but most people here seem so happy with so little. It's like they don't even seem to care what happens to them.
That's because it doesn't matter what happens to them. They're nothing. Might as well die. **** Mercury.
