讲的是一个高中毕业生,他有个很穷的单亲母亲,而且很傻,约会22岁的所谓乐手,家里仅有的一点值钱的东西被卷包会。他决定放弃上大学,留在家乡,做一个书店的售货员。
然后很欣赏他的老师在书店遇见他,和他说了如下的话。那个老师是斯坦福毕业的,自己也说不清为什么在这个下镇教高中。说完下面话不久他就死了。

有人生活在现在,有人生活在别处,有人一直两者之间无法取舍一直到尽头儿。

And with a smart kid like you,they would be stupid not to put you on the fast track to management.
So, instead of transferring to a four-year college,you'll buy that car you really wanted,and you'll start going to bars on the weekends,and of course you'll meet a girl.
And she's probably not all that stimulating,but she fucks you on the first date,which blows your mind.
But hey, you got a car.You've got money in your pocket.Why shouldn't she?
So you start dating and you find that you share none of the same interests,
and maybe she drinks a little bit too much,but you can't get over the fact that you're getting laid consistently.
So one night after a few too many,the condom slips off,or breaks and she gets pregnant.
Abortion is an option,but she really doesn't want to get rid of it,but there's really nothing you and do.
So then you wake up one morning,and all of a sudden you're forty- five years old with three kids and the faint memories of some faint ambitions you had when you were younger.
You try to remember what they were, but you can't.
But what does it matter.The kids are crying,your wife won't wake up,cause she's hung over from the night before,
