All you do is sit all day wired up to that goddam thing. Show some self-respect. Look in the glass and tell me what you see, you little cow. Your step-father works hard to keep you in cud. The least you could do is come out of your room some time. Fix the cleandroid, if you’re so smart. God knows I don’t have time to pick up after you. I have a job, you know. Real work? You might try thinking about that for a change. I can’t believe you screwed up that last thing. But you aren’t even hearing me, are you? You just don’t give a good goddam about anything I’m saying. Fine. Fine then. God I wish your step-father was here. Go ahead, ignore me. But this is your life, kid. Your real honest to god actual life, so you’d better get used to it.
