Dylan: Here we are.

 

Jamie: This is beautiful.

 

Dylan: Yeah, this is where I used to come to think. My rooftop.

 

Jamie: Okay, how high do you think that fence is?

 

Dylan: I'm a little over 6 foot. Looks like it's about three of me. So six times three... Ninety-two feet. Ninety-two feet. That's really tall, right?

 

Jamie: Yeah.

 

Dylan: But they don't want you to get up there, so I guess that makes sense. Wait. Six times three...

 

Jamie: Oh, God, you poor kid.

 

Dylan: What's up?

 

Jamie: Come on.

 

Dylan: What? What? Where are you going? Jamie, no, no, no, no, no, wait. They take this shit seriously, okay? Look at all the cameras. This is the only landmark¹ this city has other than the Scientology Center. And if any of these cameras are hooked up to the actual Scientology Center, that was an inappropriate joke and I apologize. I believe in the freedom of science fiction.

 

Jamie: Pussy²! Oh, sorry. Pussy! Come on! You really never been up here before

 

Dylan: No. I've also never transferred heroin³ in my rectum, 'cause it's against the law.

 

Jamie: You know, sometimes a simple yes or no answer is adequate. Hey, why didn't you tell me about your mom?

 

Dylan: She's not worth talking about.

 

Jamie: That's rough.

 

Dylan: So is leaving your husband and kids.

 

Jamie: Yeah, you never told me about him either. You know, there's a lot of stuff you didn't tell me.

 

Dylan: I don't want your pity. I can handle anything except that look in people's eyes. That one.

 

Jamie: Who cares what anybody thinks?

 

Dylan: He's the smartest man I've ever known. He's the only person I'd ever go to for advice. He's my dad.

 

Jamie: Dylan, he's still the same man.

 

Dylan: When I see the way people look at him now...

 

Jamie: It doesn't matter how people look at him. All that matters is how you look at him.

 

Dylan: Yeah, but he's walking around without his pants. Everyone's staring.

 

Jamie: So what?

 

Dylan: It's embarrassing.

 

Jamie: He needs to know that nothing has changed. That he's still that same man to you.

 

Dylan: Can we stop talking about this?

 

Jamie: Yeah, that's really smart. Let's just not talk about our feelings.

 

Dylan: I'm trying not to.

 

Jamie: Come on. Is something going on here? You've been acting⁴ really weird⁵.

 

Dylan: No, I haven't.

 

Jamie: Yeah, you have. Is this about what happened the other night?

 

Dylan: What, sex? That doesn't mean anything. You know that.

 

Jamie: Right.

 

Dylan: And I haven't been acting weird. 

 

Jamie: Okay.

 

Dylan: Oh, my God! 

 

Jamie: Oh, shit!

 

Dylan: I told you!

 

Jamie: Well, I'm sorry!

 

Dylan: Fuck!

 

Police: This is the LAPD. You are trespassing⁷. Get down from the sign.

 

Jamie: We gotta jump. Dylan, jump!

 

Dylan: I'm frozen.

 

Jamie: Come on, get down!

 

Police: Sin this is your last warning.

 

Jamie: Use the ladder!

 

Dylan: I have a fear of heights! And also helicopters! They don't make sense to me!

 

Jamie: What do you mean you have a fear of heights? Why would you come up here?

 

Dylan: You called me a pussy!

 

TV: A bizarre situation this afternoon in the Southland. The LAPD rescued a local man from the Hollywood sign the city's only real landmark.

 

Annie: They actually wrapped you in a foil blanket! Did you run a marathon before this?

 

Dylan: Okay. Give me...

 

Annie: No, no. I wanna save it. I gotta save it. 

 

Dylan: No. That's enough! Give me the remote! Shut up!

 

Annie: No, I wanna watch it over and over. Foil wrapper... It's okay, it'll be up on YouTube. Hey, you're still good to take Dad that week I have to go to DC for Sam's class trip, right?

 

Dylan: Yeah, he's gonna stay with me in New York. 

 

Annie: Oh, good.
