I ’ m just standing here saying nothing . You ’ re opening up and I ’ m being so distant , I ’ m so sorry . … Um … I had a lot of friends . I thought my life was great . One day I just started assuming none of them actually wanted to be around me , and I felt bad , so I stopped talking to them .
Were they glad you left them alone ?
I don ’ t know . Probably not .
Then why did you ?
CHARLIE
NOAH
CHARLIE
NOAH I don ’ t know , okay ? Actually , can you just leave me alone ?
CHARLIE
You don ’ t even want to talk now ? ( Noah shakes his head , but Charlie can ’ t see it .)
Okay , I ’ m making you . Tell me the best part of your life .
NOAH Maybe when I started drawing . What about you .
Oh , I don ’ t know . ( Silence .)
So I ’ m the one who ’ s not talking ?
That ’ s fair .
CHARLIE
NOAH
CHARLIE
NOAH No , it ’ s fine , sorry . I ’ m just , I don ’ t know . I ’ m freaking out and this feels like a waste of time . I wish there was something I could do .
… Yeah . I know how you feel .
CHARLIE
