Voices: Help us! Help! Noise: BOP BOP! BOPBOP! Jeff: Mom? I want to come home. Joanie: Are you drunk? Stay where you are... For weeks, the Rascal broods in his lair... deaf to injustice... indifferent in battle... stripped of his pride, his job... in fact, everything... but his cell phone.
If Jeff feels depressed now, wait until he gets home…and has to face his father.
You know… The one who already thinks of his son as a screw-up?
Funny thing is… I remember when Jeff was a little boy asking Mom for a ride to school, because his father was too busy playing - are you ready for this? - VIDEO GAMES!!!
I distinctly remember Jeff telling his mom, “I don’t want to be late again.”
And one day, when Dad was meeting Jeff’s teacher, Dad still had video games on the brain.
So…. How did Jeff become such a screw-up? GUESS!!!
