CHARLIE
I don’t feel like eating these seeds.

MAX
What do you mean?

CHARLIE
I’m just done with seeds.

MAX
Well what are you gonna eat?

CHARLIE
I don’t know, like roots or something?

MAX
Roots??

CHARLIE
Maybe.

MAX
Who the hell do you think you are, “you’re gonna eat roots,” what is that?

CHARLIE
I don’t know who I am anymore.

MAX
I do. You’re a bird, Charlie. You’re a goddamn bird.
