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: [emerges from the hallway]
Hey, hey, hey. What's with all the yelling, huh?
Jason "Rock" Rockwell: [angrily]
I'm hungry, Pop!
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: [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]
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:
You get out of this house! GET OUT!
