Sophistry
By Jonathan Marc ShermanWilly is the joker of the show - he loves Cran-blueberry juice, Jack Daniels, and bong hits. In this scene, he has just kissed his best friend, Ex, and admitted that he is a little nervous about graduating because he doesn't want to "ever have to wear shoes". He is very high when he begins this monologue.
WILLY:
I want to be sixteen years old again.
Ahh. Happiness is... a Cran-Blueberry bong hit. (Pause.) Happiness is... a green and blue round thing called Earth. (Pause.) Happiness is... little me in my old brown snowsuit, going down a white hill on my sled, salty wet snot dripping into my smiling mouth, Mom waiting inside, making fresh hot chocolate with marshmallows... the glare of the sun on the snow almost blinding me... (Pause.)
What the hell am I talking about?
(Beat.) What the hell am I doing in Ex's room... without my shirt?
(Beat.) What the hell?
