Silence as they watch the youth football team practice. KENT suddenly screams at some kids in the distance.

KENT Awww, come on! (Pointing.) Get that guy!!

GREG … if you need to get back …

KENT No, I’m fine. Told one of the other guys to take over … we’re just running plays.

GREG That’s cool. (Beat.) Football was never my thing …

KENT No shit, buddy. Very little reading out there on the field.

GREG True! That’s true …

GREG is about to say more but stops himself. Silence.

KENT So, thanks for coming. I know I called you outta the blue, so … thanks.

GREG No problem.

KENT ’ppreciate it. I just … I didn’t know who else to talk to about all this … and …

GREG I’m happy to, man. Don’t worry about it. What’s up?

KENT Just stuff.

GREG Okay. (Beat.) You want me to guess, or …?

KENT No, dude, obviously not—you probably can anyway, but whatever.

GREG Ummmm … the ever-popular “Crystal?”

KENT Yep. (Beat.) I got into a thing two nights ago and so … fuck … I dunno. I think I’m gonna lose my job.

GREG What?

KENT Uh-huh. (Beat.) It was that one asshole … the guy who originally hired Carly and gave her the security job?/ That guy.

GREG Right …/ I know who you mean.

KENT That fucker was always up on her, with his little suit on and his … fucking … what’s the thing right here? Tucked in his jacket pocket …? (Gestures.) What is that thingie called?/ It’s not a handkerchief … is it?

GREG Ummmm …/ It’s a pocket square, I think.

KENT Yeah, maybe that’s it. Anyway, he was at the place, where I was with Crystal and a few of her friends, mostly these girls … and, I mean, I was over getting us some more drinks—Crystal likes those fucking Mojitos—and I come back and he’s right there, up against her practically, just leaning in and smiling. Like, rubbing up on her … and so, shit, I tap him on the shoulder … you know? I’m not rude about it, I just … whatever … it’s a tap.

GREG You sure?/ …

KENT Dude./ Fuck, come on! Whose side are you on here?

GREG No, I’m just saying … your “tap” can be a little bit aggressive sometimes … and yes it sounds like this guy’s being a massive fuckhead, but … still …

KENT It’s a tap. Ok? A “tap.” (He taps GREG.) Like that.

GREG (Reacting to it.) Yeah, alright … but that’s … it actually hurt, when you just did that./ Seriously.

KENT Fuck, fine!/ Everybody’s a fucking pussy, is that what you’re telling me?/ The whole goddamn world?

GREG No./ I’m not saying that. I’m saying I wasn’t there so, you know, that is why I asked you “how” you did it.

KENT Not-very-hard. (Beat.) I’ve been working on my temper so, yeah, it wasn’t bad …

GREG Fine.
