When I remember it...
I remember thinking...
...the entire population of Greensburg, Pennsylvania,
is 14,892.
If you divide that by the number of days in the year,
there should be 41 people with the same birthday every day.
In my lifetime, the population has decreased by 12.6%.
Soon, another 12.6% will be gone.
And another.
And another.
Then another.
Until all that's left here is me.
Me without you.
Me and the one thing I was waiting to find out about.
They were also waiting.
In the middle of nowhere.
In this doctor's office.
At 7:30 in the morning.
Twenty days ago,I turned 20.
Now we were all waiting to see
how many more birthdays we'd have.
If there'd be one or 100.
If there'd be anyone new to share them with.
I've spent every birthday in Greensburg.
Every day.
Every minute.
Every second.
When I remember it,I remember believing
everything begins with one exact moment.
Daniel.
Daniel.
Daniel.
Did you hear what I just said?
You don't care.
You don't know anything.Everything's fucked up.
What's the point of even talking to you?
How can you say that?
After, after last year, after how my mom's been acting, after my dad?
- I don't... - Don't. Just don't.
Don't say I don't want to end up like him?
Neither do you.
Here's the truest thing I've ever said: fuck you.
Whatever.
And what about your mom,have you talked to her?
Not since graduation.
Look, I didn't mean you don't care, I didn't mean it that way.
- It's pretty clear how you meant it. - Was it?
I'm hungry.
What? What are you talking about?
That's an example of being clear, "I'm hungry,"
which is what I am, hungry.
Come on, that doesn't make any sense.
And bored.Hungry and bored.
What do you wanna do, then?
I don't know.
Go to the porn store. I'm legal now.
That one where the girls wear nothing but a smile?
No, that's a strip club.
I was talking more about the ones that flank the Barnes & Noble.
All that I was trying to say is that...
it's got nothing to do with your family.
I just meant that you'll be out of here soon.
You're going to college.
- It's only a state school. - So what?
Not far away.
Still better than being stuck here.
Did you know Mount Pleasant used to be called Hell Town?
That's not true.
- It is. - Why?
Something to do with,this was in the '20s or something.
Coal miners lived in Mount Pleasant,
whereas the rich bosses lived in Scottdale, on the hill.
They should just go back
and rename the whole goddamn area Hell Town.
Sorry about earlier.I was being a sharktopus.
- I was gonna say a sea hag. - I don't get it.
A sharktopus would make a good pet.
Sea hag is Jennifer Aniston.
I like Jennifer Aniston.We go way back.
We're tight like spandex.
- Also, bumps, not lines. - What?
I definitely wasn't a sea monster.
- It's not coke. - A sea hag, and yes you were.
It's cheap trucker's meth.
It's just that, for real,I can't stand this place.
At least now I don't have to worry about finding a job with dental insurance.
I can't end up like these disgusting people.
I don't wanna drive my 12-year-old car to a stupid job.
- I don't want to think about cheating on my fat wife. - See those lights?
I don't wanna work at my shit job for shit pay so I can afford another used shit car.
Lissa, do you see them?
- Shit! - What should we do?
Daniel, take care of the phone.
I can't believe this is happening.
Everyone, dust off your hands.
I'm going to M-I-fucking-T.
I have an idea.
Can I help you, officer?
What have you got going on here?
Not sure yet... sir.
Take it elsewhere.
- Fuck it all, fuck. - Fuck you, copper.
Lissa Maruska?
How are you today? Ready to order?
I've been waitressing for about two years.
A little under two years.
- I'm a human resources manager. - I'm a chef and owner.
I teach family consumer science, which used to be known as home economics.
I am a custodian.
I work for the county,which is a good job,
although it's a crappy shift.
I am actually a stay-at-home mom.
Some days you feel like you don't talk to any other adults.
I spent 25 years as a Pennsylvania state trooper.
I'm a union rep for public employees in schools,
meaning teachers and their support staffs,
such as bus drivers,cafeteria workers, custodians.
Worst part is the repetition.
Maybe it's having to balance multiple things like a circus clown.
No.
It's the repetition.
So, how are you doing?
