PIECES OF ME - JULY 2020 49 .
ELI It ’ s life , as they say .
DR . REMINGTON I just wanted to let you know that you aren ’ t alone .
ELI What do you mean ?
DR . REMINGTON There ’ s actually a small support group for people like yourself .
ELI I don ’ t know if I ’ m quite ready for that .
DR . REMINGTON There ’ s no rush . They meet every Tuesday night at 8 at the Y .
SOPHIE A little social interaction could do you some good , dad .
( a beat ) Plus , it ’ ll be dark , so easier for you to blend in . Hell , I can even drop ya off tomorrow . Maybe you ’ ll make a friend !
ELI Oh great . I can be the president of the failure to kill yourself club .
DR . REMINGTON It could bring additional clarity . Maybe even help with ideas for work .
( a beat ) You ’ re planning on working , right ?
ELI I haven ’ t quite figured it out yet .
DR . REMINGTON You ’ re a smart man . You ’ ll get there .
( a beat ) Anyway , I should be going . I have a few more house calls . Keep up the good work , you two . I ’ ll be in touch .
