Stream of consciousness

Plot of the beginning of the movie "The Departed" through the eyes of the narrator of Donald Barthelme:

Colin shot his gun at the dummy and barged into the room. Billy Costigan was running some laps around the track to get in shape. After they graduated the academy, Colin went into a car with Frank and is presented a gift. Colin became a sergeant in the Massechusetts police. Billy joined Frank's gang to try to help the police.

Frank just killed some other gangsters, but he got away, as he always did.

Billy knocks someones teeth out, but Frank tells him it doesnt matter. Billy is a good person but he is trapped in the gang by the police.
Colin is the snitch! He tells Frank all the police business!

The Psychiatrist is in love with both COlin and Billy. She gives Billy the drugs he needs, even though she doesnt want him to have them. THey go out to coffee.

Colin and the psychiatrist are moving in together. Colin doesn't know what she's been doing.


That is the extent of my summary.

I found this assignment extremelly difficult. It is really hard to portray this narrator without either doing drugs or being crazy myself, which leads me to believe that Barthelme was either a brialliant author or was, in fact, on drugs or crazy.
