Hello.
das
Lex, you going to be home later I want to drop off “HEAT”?
lex
Oh, how was it? What did you think?
das
It was good.
lex
What did you think of the ending?
das
It was good.
lex
Way better than the original ending right?
das
Original ending?
(perplexed)
What do you mean original ending?
lex
Where DeNiro dies.
Das
DeNiro dies at the end?
(even more perplexed)
Lex
Wait, you hadn’t see the movie before?
Das
No jackass. That’s why I asked to borrow it.
Lex
Oh.
(realizing something)
Das
What do you mean oh?
Lex
You liked it didn’t you?
Das
That’s not the point. I could have looked like an idiot talking out it.
Lex
There is that possibility, but seriously whoever comes to you with movie talk besides me. Did you like the ending of not?
Das
It doesn’t matter, that’s beside the point.
(almost angrily, then accepting)
How did you do it anyway? I didn’t even notice. And what does happen at the end?
Lex
It’s easy really, just put 2 VCR’s together and voila! New ending. Besides all you missed was DeNiro getting shot by Pacino. They have some words, they shake hands, DeNiro dies, credits. It was lame.
Das
DeNiro dies!
Lex
Which is cool, but they just did it wrong. Why bother watching that.
Das
But you can’t just change endings.
Lex
Why not?
Das
Well I’m sure it’s illegal to begin with. Secondly, it’s a dick move for those of us who haven’t seen it.
Lex
You haven’t even noticed and you’ve been ok.
DAS
Wait, you already did this to me?
LEX
Maybe.
(sheepishly)
DAS
What movies don’t I know the real ending to?
LEX
I can’t remember off the top of my head.
DAS
Bullshit!
LEX
Well there are a few I’m proud of.
DAS
Which one’s did I see?
LEX
Did I loan you The Departed?
DAS
Yes.
LEX
Hmm.
(pause)
Shawshank Redemption?
DAS
Yeah.
LEX
Sixth Sense?
DAS
No, that one got spoiled for me.
LEX
Lost in Translation?
DAS
(nods)
What happened at the end of that one?
LEX
Did you like it?
DAS
Yes.
LEX
Then why does it matter?
DAS
Cause it’s not the real movie.
LEX
If you don’t like it then get a fucking DVD player leave me and my movies alone. Cheap ass.
DAS
Hey, no need for the personal attacks, a needs to live within his means alright. Are you home or not?
LEX
Yeah.
(pause)
So I just got True Grit…
