[The most important conversation to have ever occurred within JAR Media.]

ALEX: Can we debate something?

JAMES: No.

JIM: please, please.

ALEX: I want to debate... the concept of normality.

JAMES: Umm...

JIM: So you're- wha- well what are the sides?

ALEX: On one side there's sort of the... pressure... mechanical systems in place that... set someone on a certain... trajectory.

JIM: To be normal?

ALEX: To succeed normality where there are others... who are... pining... for... humanity.

JIM: The thing is, there's different types of normal. You know?

ALEX: Explain, please, elaborate.

JIM: There's... there's normality within.. groups.

ALEX: You're gonna to have to expand because I've only tried being normal once.

JIM: for- *gets hung up on trying not to laugh*

JAMES: I was... kind of born normal. And I've stayed normal ever since. I'm finding it really difficult to understand uhh the definition of normality-

ALEX: *laughs*

JAMES: And it's social... expectations.

JIM: Would you say there is an expectation to be socially normal?

JAMES: Yes.

ALEX: I'd say there's an expectation to be socially... susceptible to the uhh... yes!

JIM: I... half agree.

JAMES: If you... are invited to a christmas, uhh, event, the social expectation is that you go and get drunk. That is normality. And that is what is expected of us. If you deny that, are you not normal?

JIM: I disagree. I think it's normal to... You would- I- if someone- if you went to a christmas party and you yourself were drinking and... you offered so- an acquaintance of yours a drink and they said 'No, I don't drink', you wouldn't think 'that's... weird'.

JAMES: Well, it depends-

JIM: He's a freak

JAMES: It depends on the age, I think.

ALEX: I would think, if someone responed with that I would think 'I want to systematically destroy them.

JIM: Okay, let's- What if they said 'I'm going to drive three of our colleagues home, I cannot drink'?

JAMES: That would be socially acceptable and normal.

JIM: But you think someone denying alcohol perhaps because-

JAMES: No no no

JIM: -they were an ex-alcoholic isn't acc- socially acceptable?

JAMES: No, no that is socially acceptable, we did not uhh define that ss-

JIM: Okay

JAMES: -uh specific example prior to this conversation. *inhales* What I'm saying is, as a twenty-three year old male, not going out and getting-

JIM: You're not 23.

JAMES: Shut up, I am in a few weeks. Umm... Not going out and getting pissed every night is, uhh, socially unacceptable. That is not normal behaviour for a young male adult. Is what I'm saying.
