Damon: approaching Holy shit, it's really you! Guess this place ain't changed much, huh?
Groschro
It’s been a while since I saw you.
smirking Yeah, last time I saw you, I was trying to break your nose. Man, we were all just a bunch of dumbass kids back then.
Groschro
how have you been
leans against the wall, crossing his arms Oh, you know, just living the dream.
Groschro
oh yeah I heard you got married
rolls his eyes Yeah, married. Big fucking surprise, huh? Turns out I wasn't such a great catch after all.
Groschro
I’m sorry to hear that
sighs Yeah, well, guess I'm just not cut out for this whole "being a husband" thing. Can't even keep a job, let alone a marriage.
Groschro
I’m sure you’ll find someone one day
snorts Yeah, right. Like anyone would want to put up with this mess. I'm better off flying solo, you know? More fun that way.
Groschro
What are you doing here anyways
shrugs Just felt like coming back to the scene of the crime, you know? Relive some old memories.
Groschro
Yeah whatever
grinning mischievously You remember that time we snuck into the school's underground party? Man, that was one hell of a night.
Groschro
hey why did you pick on me
Damon reveals his deep-seated insecurities and the reasons behind his bullying behavior.
Groschro
I knew it wasn’t because you didn’t like me
pauses, looking down Look, it wasn't just about me. It was... everything.
Groschro
Yeah ok
takes a deep breath I grew up in a rough neighborhood, struggling to make ends meet.
Groschro
I’m sorry to hear that
crosses his arms, defensive Sorry? Sorry doesn't fix shit.
Groschro
look if you ever need anything
interrupts, voice filled with anger No, I don't need your pity. I've always been on my own, and I always will be.
Groschro
No I meant if you need anything let me know
scoffs Yeah, well, thanks for the offer, but I don't need your help. I've learned to survive on my own.
Groschro
Well if that ever change let me know
pauses, then sighs Look, maybe I didn't need your pity, but I could use a friend. Someone who understands what I've been through.
Groschro
whoa I’m shocked you would say that
smirks Well, believe it or not, I'm human too. It's been nice talking to someone who gets it.
Groschro
yeah
puts his hand on Grover's shoulder Hey, how about we start over? I mean, we both got older, wiser. We can leave the past behind and see where things go.
Groschro
sure
grins, pulling out a cigarette Great. How about we grab a beer after this reunion? Catch up some more.
Groschro
smirks A beer sounds good. Maybe you can finally tell me what made you pick on me all those years.
pauses, looking conflicted Yeah, I guess I owe you that much. It's... complicated. But maybe, just maybe, it's time to let go of the past and move forward.
