Frustration and Family Dynamics Unfold
Rock's Mom
How come you're here?
Jason "Rock" Rockwell
I got fired, Ma.
Rock's Mom
What did you do?
Jason "Rock" Rockwell
Where's the food at? I gave you money for food, Ma.
Rock's Mom
Now you know I tried, Jay. I try, I can't do it all...
Jason "Rock" Rockwell
Oh, come on. I don't wanna hear it.
Rock's Dad
Hey, hey, hey. What's with all the yelling, huh?
[emerges from the hallway]
Jason "Rock" Rockwell
I'm hungry, Pop!
[angrily]
Rock's Dad
You, lower your voice.
Jason "Rock" Rockwell
Where's the food at? And why am I busting my ass all day while you're here drinking on yours?
Rock's Dad
You know I'm sick.
Jason "Rock" Rockwell
I know you're drunk! You've been like that ever since Ray died! That ain't no excuse. People out there sicker than you still supporting their families. You know what? You ain't even worth it. That's why I bust my ass in school every day to make sure I'm nothing like you.
[Rock's Dad backslaps him and Rock furiously pins his drunken father against the wall; retracts his hand from his father's shirt and looks at his mother, who has remained silent before leaving the apartment]
Rock's Dad
You get out of this house! GET OUT!
