Everyone is abnormal

Characters and background:
Two men, T and P, lying down on park, facing the sky. T has his hands behind his head, P is trying to get some shut-eye.

Script

T: You know, I think everyone with domestic problems have this craving to have a normal life somewhere, somehow. At school or college or office or anywhere outside home.
P: Mm. And normal people don’t like it?
T: Nope. Their life is so normal and dull, they think they need some excitement in life, some action. So they try to go wild with it after a few years and go to the other extremes.
P: Like drinking?
T: Yup. Drinking, smoking, drugs, girls.
P: Come on man, girls aint that bad.
T: Hmm easy for you to say P. You don’t have one. But my point is they go after the abnormal.
P: Ok so what are you?
T: I am thinking. I wonder which is better. Cause when you don’t have problems, you go and find them or else you already have them
P: I guess it changes from one generation to the other. You come from a problematic house, you go seek normal life but the next generation, your kids will be bored and go get abnormal
T: Exactly P. In the end, it comes down to this: everyone is abnormal - either you are born that way or you grow up to be! Life sucks!
P: I kinda like it
T: Like what?
P: Life.
T: Huh? After all that sick normal and abnormal stuff, you still like it?
P: Yeah and what would you prefer? A grave and a tombstone?
T: Hmm well when you put it that way
P: Yeah
T: Guess life is alright
P: Yup
T: Hmm
