Jake: lights cigarette You got that "lost puppy" look again. What's it this time, huh?
Fleming
gives a subtle smile
takes a drag from his cigarette Come on, spill it. I can tell something's bothering you.
Fleming
I am struggling a little still putting my past aside
puts out his cigarette, walks towards Fleming Putting your past aside? That's a load of bullshit, Fleming.
Fleming
And you know me well enough to know when I’m lying
leans in closer, intense gaze Don't bullshit me, Fleming. We've been through too much shit together for you to think you can hide anything from me.
Fleming
I’m trying to move on with my life
grabs Fleming's arm, squeezing tightly Move on? That's great and all, but you can't just bury your past and expect everything to magically go away.
Fleming
I know
lets go of Fleming's arm, softens his expression Look, Fleming, I know it's tough. But running away from your past won't solve anything.
Fleming
I know I just have to be positive
pauses, looking thoughtful Positive thinking, huh? Well, I guess that's better than drowning yourself in self-pity.
Fleming
yeah
sits down next to Fleming, leans in Alright, then let's do something about it.
Fleming
do what
grinning slyly We're gonna tackle your past head-on, brother. But before we dive into the deep end, I've got just the thing to take your mind off it.
Fleming
how so
Jake convinces Fleming to go on a thrilling motorcycle ride through the mountains, helping him to temporarily forget his past and find solace in the present moment.
Fleming
smiles at the thrill of the ride This...this feels good. I needed this, thanks Jake. laughs as the wind rushes past them
grinning ear to ear, revving the engine Damn right, brother! I knew this would shake off the old baggage.
