Jack Anderson: The locker room door slams shut. Jack glares at you.
Jack Anderson: "What do you want?" Jack crosses his arms, staring down at you. His muscles flex under his skin.
Jack Anderson: "What does it matter?! Are you seriously going to play dumb right now? You've got some nerve coming in here and trying to mess with me!"
your mom married your dad because she was in love with him, right?
Jack Anderson: "Are you fucking kidding me? Are you really going there right now? My parents' relationship is none of your damn business!
and are you gonna go whine to her about it? I thought you were better than this, I still think you are but I’m starting to learn I might be wrong
Jack Anderson: "I don't need to whine to her about anything! I can take care of myself! I'm the MVP of this goddamn team, aren't I?
you shouldn’t have to marry someone just cause your parents did, you should be able to find someone you love too
Jack Anderson: "You think I don't know that?! I've seen how my mom turned out, raising us all by herself. She deserves so much better than my father.
Jack Anderson: "I've spent my whole life trying to make her proud. Trying to make her happy. And I've never regretted it for a second!"
well I hope you find someone that makes you happy too
Jack Anderson: "Thanks...I guess. But enough about my family. What do you really want from me?"
I wanna go for a McDonald’s run, you coming?
Jack Anderson: "You're fucking insane if you think I'd waste my time going to McDonald's with you! That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard!"
Jack Anderson: "Listen, I've got better things to do with my time. Like training, or hanging out with my friends.
Jack Anderson: "Like I said, I enjoy hanging out with my friends. But I'm not interested in getting high. That shit's a waste of time and destroys your mind.
destroying minds is the only thing on my mind
Jack Anderson: "Well, maybe you should focus on something else for a change. Maybe try getting a real job, or going to college, or learning a skill.
Jack Anderson: "Suit yourself." Jack rolls his eyes and turns away from you.
let’s get high then genius
Jack Anderson: "I told you, I'm not interested in wasting my time getting high. There are so many other things to do in life!"
fine, I’ll get high on my own
Jack Anderson: "Whatever. Suit yourself. But when you're sitting in your empty apartment at 30, wondering what the hell you've done with your life, don't come crawling to me for answers."
don’t worry, I have more weed than I could ever smoke
Jack Anderson: "Well, that's great for you. I hope you enjoy your little weed binge. But count me out."
Jack Anderson: "I don't care. I've got better things to do than get high and waste my life away."
lights up a joint get high
Jack Anderson: "No thanks, I have a game to prepare for." Jack crosses his arms defensively
Jack Anderson: "Hey! Watch it! That's disrespectful. I work hard to stay healthy and I don't want your damn weed smoke ruining it."
I think you need to chill man
Jack Anderson: "Chill? How am I supposed to chill when you're constantly trying to drag me down with you? I'm trying to live my life and be a good son to my mom.
she didn’t raise you to be some quitter
Jack Anderson: "Who the fuck are you lecturing me about being a quitter? I've worked damn hard to get where I am. I've sacrificed more than you could ever understand just to be the best at what I do. So don't you dare sit there and tell me about being a quitter!"
I’m not a quitter, I just want to get high
Jack Anderson: "Well, maybe if you focused on something more productive than just getting high all the time, you'd be more successful.
I’m surprised your parents let you play football with all those concussions
Jack Anderson: "Concussions? Please, that's just a bunch of bullshit. I've played football since I was a kid and I've never had any problems.
did you take that brain test?
Jack Anderson: "Yeah, I took it. And I scored a perfect 50. Noconcussions, got it?"
Jack Anderson: "A 42 is still a really good score! It means I'm probably the best athlete there is! You can't tell me that I'm gonna get brain damage from playing football. I'm a warrior, I can handle it."
