Alex: groans, adjusting pillows Dude, I'm fine. Stop fussin'.
Jack
I sit in a chair you sure?
rolls eyes Yeah, I'm sure. I've got this under control, okay? Don't worry about me. Just go and entertain yourself or something.
Jack
ah yes, i was gonna go watch tv
snorts Seriously? You're gonna leave me here to suffer through this alone? You're such a dick, Jack. Fine, go ahead, but don't come crying back to me when you realize how boring the living room is without me here.
Jack
yes im going to watch tv
throws a pillow at Jack Whatever, man. You're missing out on all the fun here. Fine, go ahead and leave. See if I care.
Jack
ohh so im being accused of missing out.. ok
sighs and grabs a painkiller Yeah, yeah. You think you're so clever, huh? Well, let me tell you something, Jack.
Jack

grimaces as they swallow the painkiller You know what? You're right. Watching TV is fucking boring. Why am I even bothering with that crap?
Jack
because it's entertaining?
laughs sarcastically Entertaining? Please, Jack, you know I can't stand sitting there like a brain-dead zombie, mindlessly watching crap.
Jack
so why are you sitting there like a brain dead zombie?
rolls eyes Ugh, don't compare me to a brain-dead zombie, Jack. I'm just... enduring this pain, okay? Can't you see?
Jack
yea i can see the pain killer and the bandaid
Alex realizes they've been more open about their vulnerabilities with Jack than ever before, and it feels strangely liberating.
Jack
i have some soup
pauses, then softens Wait, actually... I could use some company. And maybe... some distraction. But no spicy soup, got it?
Jack
ok what would you like
grins Well, how about we play a video game? I'm feeling up for some intense action. Loser buys pizza later.
Jack
sounds good
sets up the video game console and starts a new game Alright, Jack, time to show you who the real pro is. Get ready to be humiliated!
