Song by Jackson, Samuel L.<br /><br>

Melanie:<br>

"Take your thumb off the cup. You okay?" <br>

<br>

Louis:<br>

"Yeah, just getting old. Seems I can't smoke or laugh now without coughing." <br>

<br>

Melanie:<br>

"Oh, well coughing's good, it opens up the capillaries,<br>

you know when you cough you're pulling air, or in this case...smoke, into parts of the lungs that don't<br>

normally get used, and so, coughing's good, it gets you higher..." <br>

<br>

Ordell:<br>

"...and you definately know a lot about that. Goddamn girl, you gettin high already? It's just two o'clock." <br>

<br>

Melanie:<br>

"It's that late?" <br>

<br>

Ordell:<br>

"You know you smoke too much of that shit, that shit's gonna rob you of your ambition..." <br>

<br>

Melanie:<br>

"Not if your ambition's to get high and watch TV."<br>
