SOMA | The Meme Dump

Don’t eat those. Hang on.

Levon walks over to his shed and returns with a 4g bag of dried mushrooms. The bag is sealed with a large holographic sticker with the likeness of oldschool pro wrestler Mick Foley.

NICK

How much do you have over there?

LEVON

Couple kilos.

NICK

If I ate a kilogram, would I die?

LEVON

Why would you do that?

NICK

Would it put you in a vegetative state? I have a stamp on my licence that demands paramedics “Resuscitate In All Cases”. That means no ambiguity in an emergency. No opportunity for cheap government doctors to try and pull the plug on me you know?

LEVON

You’ll be okay.

Nick and Levon exchange mushroom bundles. Levon tosses the contaminated cluster on to a manure heap. Nick peels back the foil sticker and fingers the dried mushrooms. He pinches a single cap between his fingers.

NICK

Can I drive if I'm on this?

LEVON

You need more than that. A gram is tolerance.
