1 David: A couple of weeks ago you told me that you had only done crystal meth once but the
story has to be bigger than that, right? There's more to it? We need to know.
2 Nic: I think I always liked it.
3 David: What?
Nic: Anything. Pot. Alcohol. Ecstasy. Cocaine. LSD.
S David: And you've been doing all that, for what, years?
6 Nic: A couple of years, yeah.
7 David: And crystal meth?
8 Nic: Just a couple months.
David: But why?
(0 Nic: I don't know... When I tried it, I felt, I felt better than I ever had...So I kept on doing it.
"David: I was worried that you were smoking too much pot meanwhile you're out doing every
drug on the planet?...And hiding it and lying. And why? Tell me.
12 Nic: I don't know.
13 David: Why? Tell me why!
Karen: Ease up.
Nic: I don't know! Nic starts crying. Karen comforts Nic.
16 David: I thought we were close. Closer than most fathers and sons.
(Nic: I feel like you're just always disappointed in me. You're disappointed I don't go to college,
you're...
(David: Well can you blame me? Not too long ago you were reading and you were writing and
you were on the waterpolo team. And look at us now! This isn't us. This is not who we are!
19 Karen: Guys, please stop this. Dave, calm down! Stop it.
20 Nic: Dad, I'm really sorry about everything. I'm really sorry, dad.
21 David: Nic, what you have you are going to find it again. You're going to get it back.
After an argument [Nic is visiting home from college] where David confronts Nic over using
again, Nic says he needs to leave.
22 David: Hey, just...where are you going to go? You can't just leave. This is ridiculous. Come on.
23 Karen: Can you talk to us? We just want to talk to you.
