No, there’s not. There are very few people who can do this job, and that’s why we have to stick together.

Cam. It’s just a bad night. That’s all.

Cameron

This life is ruining everything I liked about myself. I came here to study art and play football, not to be a role model or a magazine model or whatever the hell else you guys have to be. I can’t do it.

Cory

You petted a bee?

Cameron

He was soft like a fuzzy pom pom. I might not be allergic to him, you know.

Ethan

Are you still drinking?

Cameron

Ethan

There’s nothing hilarious about this.

Ethan

Sweet Jesus, Cam, listen to yourself. Read all that out loud and see if you can do it without slurring.

Cameron

Now who’s not supportive enough?
