(While exiting the theater, Jamie checks his cell phone and they both drift towards the refreshment stand)
Mark: So, the 'Avatar' trailer…
Jamie: Hmm…
Mark: (smiling) Sort of vindicates all that 'FernGully' fanfic I used to write.
Jamie: (laughs easily) Ha. Right. I don’t know whether to watch 'Tron' when I get home or go right to making dirty things in Adobe Flash.
(Both arrive at refreshment stand and take their place in line)
Jamie: (shows Mark his cell phone) Look at all this money I have in "FarmTown."
Mark: (shakes head) You know that’s not real, right?
Jamie: (still studying cell phone) Big harvest tonight at 2.
Mark: You were a little easier to take when you were just playing WoW.
Jamie: (grimaces good-naturedly)
Mark: The Lich King expansion changed the whole game. You should come back.
(Finally, they arrive at front of refreshment line and Jamie puts cell phone away)
Jamie: (to cashier) Two cappuccinos, please.
Jamie: (to Mark) Do they let you buy houses yet?
Mark: No.
Jamie: Can I have your blue armor?
Mark: No.
Jamie: Can I have your mount?
Mark: No.
Jamie: Can I go on raids with you?
Mark: (hesitates) No.
Jamie: (stares at Mark)
(Uncomfortable silence. Jamie leans into Mark, begins to straighten his tie and resumes speaking evenly but slightly softer)
Jamie: Well, maybe you should go to the party tonight with the Lich King…
(Jamie pulls Mark’s tie tight)
Jamie: (raises chin and whispers into Mark’s ear) …and then afterward, you two can fuck yourselves.
(Jamie leaves. Mark turns to watch him leave then turns back to the just-returned refreshment girl)
Refreshment Girl: (places two cups on counter in front of Mark) Two cappuccinos. $9.75.
(Mark stares at drinks)
Refreshment Girl: You could have let him have the armor but now you're gonna have to give him the mount.
(Mark stares at Refreshment Girl)
