Anthony doesn't want to pay his cell phone bill.

"Telling people your unstable thoughts is overrated."

"What?"

"Huh?"

"You didn't hear me?"

"I said 'what'."

"When I would argue with my Ole man years ago he would say 'I can't read your mind' that use to bother me because I knew he knew what I was getting at. He knows what I'm going to say because we have been stepping all around whatever it was for years. He just wants me to say this 'it' so he can have his prepared response and go back to reading his paper and hoping I don't talk about this other 'it'."

"Ok."

"Communication is overrated. I think our life works better without it. Everybody already knows what the hell is going on in every situation, they are just pretending not to know."

"What?"

"It doesn't makes things more dramatic, when you discuss what is really going on with yourself; when you're being accountable for everything that is going on in your life. People cannot handle when you begin to operate your own dimmer switch of pain and joy. They believe you are introducing them to the unknown, the scary, the Boogey man. But who gives a fuck if they do, right?"

"Where are you heading with this?"

"I don't know. Hopefully lower cell phone bills and quieter times.

"You just don't want to pay your bill this month, right?"

"Well it seems a little higher than last month."

"So what are you saying?"

"You know what I'm saying."
