I can get the money, you can even pay me back some time if you really want to.
Come on, flying is a lot more extreme!

No. [He goes silent again, but he doesn't hang up this time at least. Driving. Just...silent driving and letting Chad stay on the phone.]
If you tell me where you're going we can meet halfway.
Troy, we can fix this.
Troy, we can fix this.
I don't know where I'm going, Chad. [Which is half-true. He sort of has a very vague sense of direction but he's pretty aimlessly driving which is actually a very, very stupid idea. He has his wallet, he has his phone, he has a credit card, and he has his truck. That's about it.]
I gathered that much. Your dorms are a nice place, you should consider that again.
Can you stop the car and then hang up and not keep driving?
Please, Troy. Please.
Please, Troy. Please.
Then I'll wait until you get off the highway and stop, alright? Nest opportunity and you can be rid of me for a while.
I'm not getting off of the highway though. [He sounds genuinely confused by the suggestion.]
Fuck, Troy. I don't want you driving while you're in shock or whatever, how hard is that to understand?
You'll call me in exactly thirty minutes or I'll call you again.
[Hanging up now, because he needs to scream.]
[Hanging up now, because he needs to scream.]
[Well that was relatively painless. And in that time Troy is literally just going to keep driving.]
[Thirty minutes later and he's calling again.]
[This time it's over an hour before he answers the phone. It's the same thing as before, no words and harsh breathing.
That lasts for a few minutes.]
...what, Chad?
That lasts for a few minutes.]
...what, Chad?
I'm worried about you, alright?
Can you stop doing that to me? I know you don't care about anything but her but I happen to care about you so cut the crap already!

...what am I supposed to do then, huh? What?
Drive to your campus and get out of your truck and sit down somewhere or scream at me or play ball or anything, just stop endangering yourself and whoever's driving near you.
I'm not--you're overreacting, dude. [Only because you're being a douche and not responding to him, Troy.] I'm not endangering anybody.
Don't see how this is so different from drunk driving. Talk to me, at least. Ryan got a hold of her before. We'll figure it out, alright?
I don't have anything to say, I already told you that. Also this is not drunk driving. I'm driving straight on the road and going the speed limit and everything.
Look, Troy, I'm sure she'll want to get back together, as soon as she figures out that you're the best there is, which should only take a few days, because you're great. I mean, I love you. I have high standards.
Yeah, I do. You're like the greatest guy I know, Troy, you deserve all the happiness.
