Drunk. Loud. Dark.

DAVE
Larry?

LARRY
Yeah, Dave?

DAVE
…

LARRY
Yes, Dave?

DAVE
C’mere, I want to tell you a secret.

LARRY
Okay.

A drunken pause.

LARRY
Okay, I’m here. Shoot.

DAVE
Life…

LARRY
…Yeah, Dave?

DAVE
…Life is good.

LARRY
That’s all?

DAVE
Yes.

It dawns on LARRY.

DAVE
No, wait. There’s more.

LARRY
Yeah?

DAVE
Happiness. That’s the secret. Happiness.

LARRY
Huh.

DAVE
Yup.

LARRY
You know what, Dave?

DAVE
What?

LARRY
You’re full of shit. But also you aren’t.
