Carter’s monologue

All I’m saying is this . . . Do what you want. If you like this girl, then don’t listen to a god**** word anybody says, Not one. (Beat) But you’ve got your whole life to be a positive person, okay? To do some good in the community and be a bighearted fellow or whatever. Overlook people’s flaws and plant saplings and s***. But you’re only young once. Handsome and youthful and vibrant. So don’t f*** it up, that is all I’m telling you here. Don’t take a complete dump on your one moment in the sun . . . (Beat) Not for somebody like her.
