No, who do you think I am a reckless teenager?

If you're not, I'd be concerned.  After my dad kicked me out and I went away to San Fran, I had the time of my life for awhile.You need to learn to live a little, Kid.

You seem different but what am I saying? Nothing is different.

Different? Are you on something, kid? If you are, you're sleeping on the porch tonight. I dont want a kid drug addict for a roommate. Lay off of the Gabapentin.

You should get something for that.

Is anyone happy around here?

I have a headache that's trying to kill me, but I'm okay.

For the last time I’m not mental. I’m getting sick of this. Your “tough love” is something I don’t want or need.

You're acting like you're getting a choice in this matter. I'm stronger than you, kid. No matter what you do, I'll still have one up on you.

Hurt people? I don’t hurt people. People hurt me. He hurt me and you agreed to it.

In your damaged mental state? I wouldn't put it passed you. It's called tough love, Isaac. It's for your own good. What part of that aren't you understanding? Don't make me do something that you'll regret.

Why would you even want me here? If you agree with him you obviously hate me. 

I don't hate you, Isaac. It's the opposite of that.  I care about you too much to let you leave. You might hurt yourself, or someone else in your condition. I won't let that happen.

I’m done with your shit.

No, you're not. You're not leaving.

Don't look at me like that. I know I'm right. Your brother knows best.

Mentally ill? I am mentally damaged by the father who stuck my in a fucking freezer for 3 hours a day.

How do you know that he wasn't doing it for your own good?

Oh yeah, like what?

I know that you're mentally ill. That's enough. If my actions seem rash, it's because I love you, Isaac. I'm concerned about your well-being.

Stop with the crap. You weren’t there. You didn’t see what I had to deal with.

I know enough. You still aren't leaving.

I wouldn’t understand? You don’t even know how much I understand.

You don't understand anything. You never did. You're just a kid, Isaac. You don't know any better.

How is being worse than dad protecting me?

You wouldn't understand, Isaac. Just stay in the fucking apartment, and everything will be okay.
