Jill Walks Across the Snow Covered Gas Station Parking Lot, Sits Next to Jack on the Curb and Gives Him a Cigarette

          Thanks

Are all the adults gone?

          I don't know

Who are we supposed to look up to now?

          I don't know

I need someone to show me what being an adult means. We're not ready for this yet are we?

          I don't know

Is this what we imagined it would be like to be a grown up?

          I don't know

I don't feel like an adult. We're still children aren't we?

          I don't know

Why is everybody so messed up?

          I don't know

Nobody ever really grows up. Do you think that's it?

          I don't know

Maybe adulthood isn't the destination I always thought it was?

          I don't know

Is this all there is behind the curtain?

          I don't know

We were better off before getting a glimpse back there

          Sucks

Yes it does
