Business is my life. [pulls her closer] I’m finished talking about him, how are you?

[theshadow-dweller-blog]

But… [sighs] I’m okay. Working on something.

[your-captain-your-nightmare]

But what?

[your-captain-your-nightmare]

[lights up cigarette as he walks into the cinema]

[your-captain-your-nightmare]

[says defensively] I let people get under my skin, I tear off theirs. My impulse control isn’t very strong. [sighs and shakes his head] Sorry, John struck up unwanted conversation at the Black Sheep. 

[theshadow-dweller-blog]

Again, that’s a business move. [shrugs] I guessed as much.

[your-captain-your-nightmare]

Business is my life. [pulls her closer] I'm finished talking about him, how are you?

[your-captain-your-nightmare]

What person?

[theshadow-dweller-blog]

The Captain. The one who doesn’t let people get under his skin. It works in business, not in other factors of your life.

[lights up cigarette as he walks into the cinema]

[your-captain-your-nightmare]

I’m not. 

[theshadow-dweller-blog]

[raises an eyebrow] You know, you don’t always have to be that person.

[your-captain-your-nightmare]

What person?

[your-captain-your-nightmare]

[lights up cigarette as he walks into the cinema]

[your-captain-your-nightmare]

No, never. It wasn’t trouble, more like mindless banter. John knows not to push me too hard. 

[theshadow-dweller-blog]

And yet you seem affected by it?

[your-captain-your-nightmare]

I'm not. 

[your-captain-your-nightmare]

[lights up cigarette as he walks into the cinema]

[your-captain-your-nightmare]

John Darling. 

[theshadow-dweller-blog]

Oh… Do you often have trouble with Lost Boys?

[your-captain-your-nightmare]

No, never. It wasn't trouble, more like mindless banter. John knows not to push me too hard. 

[your-captain-your-nightmare]

[lights up cigarette as he walks into the cinema]

[your-captain-your-nightmare]

Not when it comes to you. [puts out cigarette and kisses her forehead] 

[theshadow-dweller-blog]

[smiles but shakes her head] What’s wrong?

[your-captain-your-nightmare]

John Darling.

[theshadow-dweller-blog]

Bad time?

[your-captain-your-nightmare]

Not when it comes to you. [puts out cigarette and kisses her forehead]

I need a drink

[john-darling]

Of course, I never took you for the type of person who recycled. No, thanks. That only causes me some nostalgia and reminds me of when you could not read aloud. Can you already do it? Rum. Sure. Tell me that when you are able to manage rectified spirit. I’m sorry. Congratulations, James. Your empire is the largest that history has ever seen. Ave, Caesar.

[your-captain-your-nightmare]

Your memory fails you, I've always held a high reading comprehension in school and have advanced reading skills now. I do not need to recite anything because my job consists of important things, things you don't understand and probably never will. I do have to admit I admire you Johnathan. Clinging so desperately to those books of yours because you simply have nothing else and it makes you feel like you're worth something. No wife, no child, mommy mothers others before you, and daddy gives you a plastic gun and calls you a soldier. [picks up his glass of rum, downing it in one shot] As much as I would love to point more ways you hold such a low status I have actual business to attend to. [drops a twenty on the table and ruffles his hair] The next round is on me, I know how tight things are considering the fact you need your baby sister to pick up the slack. Have a good night Johnathan. [stands from his booth and leaves the bar] 

[your-captain-your-nightmare]

I need a drink

[your-captain-your-nightmare]

Oh I had a mother and a father. I took yours, then when I was finished I tossed them aside. So you tell me Johnathan, after 6 years of me advancing into a man with an empire and you stuck in the rut daddy always placed you in, who has the sadder story? 

[john-darling]

You tossed them aside? No, I think it’s the rum playing with your head and making up a persistent false psychotic belief. Now, that’s your specialty too. Your story of success and personal growth has just moved me to tears. Believe me.

[your-captain-your-nightmare]

Yes, tossed them aside. It's what people do with their trash. Do you want me to speak slower so you understand fully? [finishes off his rum and orders another] The rum? Johnathan I'm a man who can hold my liquor, I'm sure you don't know what that's like so I won't bother confusing you, although it is very easy. I have a wide rang of specialties, you really should be more specific. 

[your-captain-your-nightmare]

I need a drink

[your-captain-your-nightmare]

It’s not talking big when it’s pure fact. Facts that your own ignorance forces you to ignore. Then again maybe it’s better that way, we wouldn’t want that fragile mind of your breaking. It’s already so delicate…how’s Amber and Charlie by the way? Oh that’s right…you wouldn’t know. 

[john-darling]

My own ignorance? Well, that just makes me laugh. Let’s not talk about obvious knowledge. You tell me the answer. Aren’t you the orphan here? The pariah. The outcast. Poor little James. No mother, no father. The saddest story ever told.

[your-captain-your-nightmare]

Oh I had a mother and a father. I took yours, then when I was finished I tossed them aside. So you tell me Johnathan, after 6 years of me advancing into a man with an empire and you stuck in the rut daddy always placed you in, who has the sadder story? 

[your-captain-your-nightmare]

I need a drink

[your-captain-your-nightmare]

About what exactly? I’m sure you know the details of your own sad life.[takes a sip of his rum] Is that all? Or do you have more childish nonsense to spew? 

[john-darling]

You are right. I don’t think you can be more ludicrous, James. I mean, you are the only one who’s talking big here. You are truly an expert. Even long ago, when you did not have a penny to your name.

[your-captain-your-nightmare]

It's not talking big when it's pure fact. Facts that your own ignorance forces you to ignore. Then again maybe it's better that way, we wouldn't want that fragile mind of your breaking. It's already so delicate...how's Amber and Charlie by the way? Oh that's right...you wouldn't know. 

[your-captain-your-nightmare]

I need a drink

[your-captain-your-nightmare]

No, things like respect, power, and authority have always meant a little more. It’s probably why I have a kingdom and you have a…what exactly? A seat on daddy’s lap?

[john-darling]

Sure, I’m listening very carefully. Tell me more.

[your-captain-your-nightmare]

[your-captain-your-nightmare]

I need a drink

[your-captain-your-nightmare]

It’s a drink for men, you wouldn’t understand. 

[john-darling]

I am aware that classy was never your thing.

[your-captain-your-nightmare]

No, things like respect, power, and authority have always meant a little more. It's probably why I have a kingdom and you have a...what exactly? A seat on daddy's lap?

[your-captain-your-nightmare]

I need a drink

[your-captain-your-nightmare]

No, but you look just as pathetic and weak. Some things never change. 

[john-darling]

Like your ridiculous love for rum.

[your-captain-your-nightmare]

It's a drink for men, you wouldn't understand. 

[your-captain-your-nightmare]

I need a drink

[john-darling]

Wow. Someone doesn’t look as dignified as always.

[your-captain-your-nightmare]

No, but you look just as pathetic and weak. Some things never change.
