DAVID: The last time I was on a beach was 1982 ... (goes silent and loses himself in his thoughts)<br />

ELLIOT: What the fuck has been wrong with beaches the last thirty three years?<br />

DAVID: Nothing. I just... I've been busy, I guess.<br />

ELLIOT: I don't think I could handle a month without the beach, let alone thirty three years. I need<br />

the sea air to blow away all the cobwebs.<br />

DAVID: Maybe that's why you can't sleep, when was the last time you went to the beach?<br />

ELLIOT: It's not that. I was there yesterday and every other day this week. Me and my friend<br />

made a deal that we would go to the beach everyday this summer.<br />

DAVID: What?<br />

ELLIOT: We went to the beach everyday this summer. We decided during our leaving cert that<br />

once it was finished we'd go the beach every single fucking day. No matter what the weather.<br />

DAVID: But- that's what we did. We made a promise, we said we'd go to the beach every single<br />

day ...<br />

ELLIOT: What?<br />

DAVID: My friend and I. We said we'd go to the beach everyday.<br />

ELLIOT: And did you?<br />

,_.<br />

DAVID: Yes. At least, most of the summer ..<br />

ELLIOT: Why not all ofit?<br />

DAVID: I.. we .. Something happened.<br />

ELLIOT: What happened?<br />

Pause<br />
