VERDURE is sitting in the school cafeteria, hunching over a laptop. TRENT walks up to her. TRENT is wearing black synthetics. VERDURE is wearing a burlap sack and Versace knee pads. TRENTWhat are you reading?VERDUREJaakko sent me the A4 for his show. He wanted some feedback.TRENTWhat does it say?VERDUREHe's like into Yoko and John Bed-Ins, World Peace and stuff, but is worried about being oblivious, problematic and obsolete. He says he wants to spread positive energy, but the tone is needy and kinda exhausting.VERDURE is shuffling a tarot deck. TRENT is shifting his weight uncomfortably. TRENTSo, what is he showing? VERDUREI think it's like in a vitrine... he's showing his old shoes and some candles he got as a gift or something? He told me he made some liqueur for the show with his mom, but it only lasted until Brussels. TRENTI liked his work better when he was angry. Or critical or openly bitchy or whatever. I liked his Tumblr, why did he take it offline? VERDURE pulls out a card from the deck.VERDURE (looking at the card)Death.TRENTWhat does that mean?VERDUREChange.
