Blue Line
Man, I heard TWO awesome things on the Blue Line this evening. These are the days that I’m so glad I haven’t moved to some suburb.
ACT ONE
(Blue Line, near car entrance. Two punky/gothy/ska-y teens stand, talking very loud. The BOY wears a sweatshirt with a patch reading “Rude Boy.” GIRL is wearing a knit beanie.)
BOY: If I had a choice to see Bad Religion or get bit by a zombie, I would choose the zombie.
GIRL: I think I would say zombie, because I can always listen to a CD.
BOY: If I were a zombie, I would be like, the worst zombie ever.
GIRL: The worst zombie ever? You should write a comic about that.
BOY: I would be the worst zombie ever because I’m a vegetarian. And I would be like, “Where are the soy people?”

ACT TWO
(Blue Line. Two SKATER BOYS sit to my left. They are dressed in identical garb, bearing Slipknot patches.)
BOY ONE: Dude, look at these.
BOY TWO: What’s that?
BOY ONE: I don’t know, but I’m going to look it up on WebMD.com when I get home.
BOY TWO: Cool.
BOY ONE: I hope it’s ringworm, because that’s like, the coolest name for an infection ever. Ringworm.
