Egg despair

(Break.)

1
Man, I don't know what else to get.

2
Don't do it.

1
I don't.

2
Don't do it. I'm warning you right now, if you do it again today, I'm not listening to your whining. Because you do it to yourself.

1
It's the cheapest thing on the menu. I can't afford anything else, I can't.

2
Get a grilled cheese. For an extra fifty cents, you can actually enjoy your lunch instead of spending the whole time whining.

1
It's $3.50. That's too much for a grilled cheese.

2
It's better than paying three dollars for something you hate!

1
No, it isn't though. And anyway, maybe it'll be better.

2
I'll even give you the extra fifty cents. Here. Take my fifty cents.

1
I don't want your money.

2
Take the money.

1
Yeah, I'll have the egg sandwich.

1
This--

2
Not a word. I'm warning you.

1
It really is awful, though.

2
I know it's awful! I know that!

1
It tastes like despair.

2
Well I hope it was worth three dollars.

1
Maybe I'll stop eating all together.

2
Yeah, do that.

1
I feel sick. Egg always makes me feel sick.

2
Hmm, maybe you shouldn't eat it then.

1
Why are all the cheap things so bad? You think there'd be one thing on the planet that was both inexpensive to produce and good, but no. It's like capitalism is mocking me.

2
You're going to get that stupid egg sandwich tomorrow, though.

1
Yeah you're probably right.
