Text from Nik to Alex: I don’t want to wash my hair.
Alex: Baby powder.
Nik: I have dry shampoo, but it kind of makes my scalp itchy.
Alex: Baby powder is better.
Nik: Even on dark hair?
Alex: Yes. You don’t need a lot. Lightly sprinkle it on your roots and watch the magic happen.
Nik: Magic?
Alex: Oily roots, now you see them now you don’t.
Nik: What’s the difference between baby powder and dry shampoo?
Alex: I’m not sure, but it just works better. My hair looks and feels cleaner when I use the powder.
Nik: Fine, I’ll try it. And since we’re talking powder, if I ever hear that you’re using drugs, this project is over. Too many people move to LA and get enamored by assholes and start making bad decisions. There are a lot of assholes out here.
Alex: Baby powder is the only powder I use. You don’t have to worry about that, Mom. Besides, baby powder is cheaper than both drugs and dry shampoo.
Nik: I prefer older sister. And how do you know that?
Alex: I don’t do drugs! Stop! I’m assuming drugs are more than $2.49, just a guess though.
Nik: Depends if you’re adding a blow job.
Alex: You’ve been watching too much Breaking Bad. Just try the baby powder.
Nik: You need to watch that show. Really. As a writer, you must.
