High Times
by Marc Lewis
I need you to take my shift tonight.
I’m high as shit right now…
That’s never stopped you before.
Please?
Call Marcus.
I did. He’s drunk.
Makes sense. It is 3:00 pm
Why does everyone who works at the restaurant need to get so fucked up on their days off?
Because they have the shittiest jobs ever and need to forget about the horribleness of their shitty lives.
Makes sense.
So you’ll do it?
hahahaha!
You owe me!
For what?
I don’t know. Something. Please!
Why do you need it off? And I don’t care about any dead grandmas.
What about dead grandpas?
Meh. Nope.
My dog is really sick. I have to take him to the vet.
No he’s not.
He’s got a really bad ear infection. He won’t stop whimpering.
So take him round back with a shotgun Old Yeller style. Takes thirty seconds top.
You can still make it in for work.
You’re a dick.
I covered for you when you had that bachelor party.
Ha! That was like a month ago. Nice try.
No but seriously my parents just told me they’re getting a divorce. I have to go see them.
They’ll still be divorced tomorrow.
Dude my mom is crushed…
Send her over here. I’ll take care of her ;)
FU
Is there any reason that I can give you that will make you take my shift?
Have you ever noticed how wallpaper just sticks to the wall? Its whole purpose in this life is composed of sticking to drywall.
It’s so sad…
How much did you smoke?
Too much to carry plates and talk to customers. Call Jeff.
I did. He’s at a cottage.
You’re my only hope.
Help me Obi Wan…
Please!
Ooooo I’m going to watch Star Wars now. Since I have literally NOTHING to do all night.
Dick. My car broke down and I’m stuck here.
Take the bus.
There’s no bus anywhere near my house.
So make one up like you made up your imaginary problems with your car.
Okay I didn’t want to tell anyone but I got a job interview. It’s a position at my dream job. They could only meet me this evening.
Congratulations.
So you’ll take my shift?
Hahahahaha!
Everyone knows that you’ll be a waiter forever. Stop fighting it Ryan.
It’s a really good job. Please…
Any job that makes you go in on a Saturday night for an interview is not a good job.
Okay it’s not a job interview.
I lied.
No shit.
I have a date.
Who’s the lucky guy?
It’s a girl. And she’s hot. She wanted to keep it a secret.
I can’t blame her for not wanting anyone to know that she’s dating a nerd.
Will you help me out??? :)
No, I’m going to stay here.
You’re not doing anything and I have a really hot date. Come on!
I have a really hot date with the Hand sisters. I’m with Palm-ella right now.
Dude you can whack it anytime. I have a date with a real girl.
What’s her name?
Nikki
Sounds hot. Too bad she doesn’t exist.
You suck.
No I rule.
I’ll pay you.
You have no money.
I do. I’ll pay you.
I’m listening…
$20
Hahahahaha!
Okay $30
Plus the money that you’ll make tonight.
That’s a good deal.
For you.
For me it would mean having to pull myself off of this couch.
And anything that would require that would be a bad deal.
IMHO
Don’t you want to achieve more in your life than just being a stoner?
No
You have such potential…
You should apply yourself, save money, go to college, get a good job
You could be so much more.
You’re right.
You could go so far in this life if you try
I know. I’m a failure… ☹
You don’t have to be!
Start right now! Get your life in order!
Go to work. Start saving the money that you make.
You think?
Yes!
Apply to a college. You can do this!
You can turn your life around!
Thanks Ryan
No problem! So I’ll tell Alex that you’ll take my shift tonight?
No. I think Sean 2.0 will start tomorrow.
:P
I’m sparking a joint to celebrate my last night as Sean 1.0
You suck.
You can’t Jedi mind trick me motherfucker
You’re the worst. You’ll never amount to anything.
That’s the plan!
I give up.
I’ll go in.
Have fun! Tell all of the difficult and annoying customers I said hi!! ☺
FU
What’s the real reason you want to take it off?
I want to get high.
I knew it.
I have a rolled joint on the table staring at me. He’s calling my name.
Alright.
I’ll do it.
Really??? Why?
Everyone knows you can’t handle your shit. I can work stoned. You can’t.
You’re the best!
What time do you start?
4:20.
