Miles: I’ve been circumnavigating night and day. Trying to land myself in an acceptable sleeping pattern.
Nicole: That sounds really unhealthy though you’ve been essentially explaining this process to me for 6 years.
Miles: I know, but no. It’s always changing always being perfected. Our break up has just given me more time to crystalize it. To make it whole. Now that I’ve decided to start drinking coffee...
Nicole: You don’t even know how to make coffee.
Miles: I know how to make coffee. I just have never had the will to make coffee. To put the components together. To commit. But now. If I can just stay awake until... 11 pm tomorrow. I think my insomnia will be cured.
Nicole: It’s 11 o’clock now. Go to bed.
Miles: No. I can’t.
Nicole: Why not?
Miles: I was going to go for a bike ride. Buy some cake.
Nicole: So you’re staying up all night to eat cake.
Miles: I have become the night.
Nicole: What kind of cake.
Miles: Coffee Cake. I told you. This plan will work.
Nicole: Why are you getting cake.
Miles: I just watched Dead Ringers. Have you seen Dead Ringers?
Nicole: No. What’s it about.
Miles: Jeremy Irons plays twin gynecologists who take turns fucking a lady with three cervixes. One of them becomes a junkie and because of the bond that they share they both end up addicted. Then they eat cake and drink orange soda.
Nicole: Then what happens.
Miles: Then one of the Jeremy Ironses breaks down in tears because he wants ice cream too. It’s a very off putting scene. Very Powerful.
Nicole: Who directed it.
Miles: David Cronenberg.
Nicole: Of course. The same David Cronenberg that made you chew 40 pieces of gum.
Miles: The very same. I wanted to get that fleshy colour that he gets.
Nicole: Didn’t you cut up your tongue?
Miles: I did. But I wasn’t satisfied with how I did it. I always imagine myself making more of a performance of my work than I ever actually accomplish. I have to fix that. Maybe I’ll buy more gum. Maybe I’ll make a gum suit. It would work great if I was doing a The Fly costume.
Nicole: I have to go to bed.
Miles: Are you sure?
Nicole: Yeah.
Miles: Alright. Off I go.
