Cigarette math
If I’m sitting on the balcony at James, Brandon, and Abe’s apartment, Brandon went home for the weekend, Mel wants to bum a cigarette from me, D-lo went inside to play beer pong, I only have 5 cigarettes left, Pataky is smoking Camel Filters tonight, Steve went to get Del Taco, I give Mel a cigarette, Cole is back at school, James’ toes curl every time he kills someone in his...
