Health
Act 5 Scene 3 - Health
(a bright, bright, sunshiny day. The Smoker is relaxing in the shade after putting in some drip-sprinklers in the garden)
TS: Wow! I need to get in shape. Those sprinklers kicked my ass.
C: Yeah. You are sweating quite a bit. It's probably mostly cuz of the heat, though.
TS: Huh. Yeah...but I'm still in pretty bad shape. I need to quit smoking. Or something.
C: Whoa, now! Don't be so hasty! Quitting smoking is just gonna cause you to eat more. Especially snacks. That's definitely not gonna be good for your "shape". Why don't you focus on your eating habits and getting more exercise, first?
TS: What like eating less? Or carb counting? I'm not all that big on the whole Atkins thing. Seems pretty unnatural.
C: Hey, man, there's a lot better ways of changing your eating habits without going on Atkins. Like avoiding all the stuff that's processed, salted, sugared and greased just for taste.
TS: Shit, dude! That doesn't leave much besides sandwiches, steak, and sushi in my diet. (pauses) Which isn't all that bad I guess.
C: You could also try getting more fresh vegetables and fruits, instead of ones that have had all the nutrients boiled out of them. More roughage, too.
TS: Cool, cool! I'm digging it! Although getting nutritional advice from a smoking cylinder of dead leaves and hot ash is more than a little weird. What else do you think would be good?
C: Well, considering you work sitting on your ass in front of the computer all day, why don't you tire yourself out with a good swim each day? No pointing in having a pool and not using it every day.
TS: Hell, yeah! That sounds good. Real good. In fact, I'm going to go for a swim, right now.
C: ...Wait...what about me, you're barely half finished with me!
TS: Bum deal, dawg. I'm a health nut, now.
(snubbing the last third of Cigarette out on the ground, The Smoker kicks off his sandals and heads inside to change)
