GO SEE A MOVIE
Three teenagers are hanging out, when Joe drops his cigarette butt on the ground. Zoey gets mad at Joe for polluting the environment.
Zoey: Hey! Joe… Joe, you just accidentally dropped your cigarette butt on the ground. Joe rolls his eyes.
Joe: That wasn’t an accident.
Zoey gets VERY mad.
Zoey THERE IS AN ASH TRAY RIGHT THERE!! Micky, tell him he is littering!
Micky: Guys, just chill! It’s not a big deal.
Joe: Yeah Zoey, just chill.
Zoey grabs the cigarette from Joe and throws it in the ash tray.
Joe: Hey! That was mine. Just because I hate the environment, doesn’t give you the right to take MY cigarette from me.
Micky: Who cares! Let’s just forget this all, and go see a movie.
Zoey ignores Micky, since she is still angry at Joe.
Joe: You know what?!
Zoey: WHAT?!
Micky: Who cares?
Joe: Just for taking my cigarette, I’m going to purposely throw my plastic bag on the ground. Joe drops his garbage on the ground.
Micky: Guys, seriously… Zoey interrupts.
Zoey: If people pollute the Earth, in 20 years, we’ll be living in smog. People would be inhaling toxic waste, and by littering, you’re supporting that.
Joe: You’ re right, Zoey.
Micky: Finally! Now, let’s go see a movie…
