A Home at the End of the World Page #2

l mean, pretty soon we'll be out

of high school.

Then we'll be in college.

And l want to go to college in a big city.

-You're gonna go away?

-As soon as l can.

You're awake.

l just--

l wanted a drink of water.

l couldn't sleep either, so l decided

l might as well do something useful.

Maybe l shouldn't stay here anymore.

l'm not innocent in all this, Bobby.

l can't pretend to be.

l honestly don't know what to do.

l'm supposed to be the mother.

l'm the adult here...

...and l honestly don't...

...have the slightest idea what to do

or say to either one of you.

l should go...

...l guess.

Want to learn how to make a pie?

Sometimes it's good to just do

a simple, useful thing.

-l don't know.

-l haven't rolled out the second crust yet.

lt's not like bread dough. You mold that

until it comes to life.

Pie crust is just the opposite.

lt needs kid gloves. You handle it

as little as possible.

You'd be surprised how easy it is

once you learn a few of the tricks.

Just coax it.

That's right.

That's good.

That's very good.

At least Alice and l will never have to suffer

through another Cleveland winter.

You'll do better in Arizona, Ned.

Yep. New beginnings.

Just wish it wasn't so far.

No, man, Jonathan can just hop in a plane

from New York any time, and l'll be there.

Bobby...

...son...

...you can't move...

...to Arizona with Alice and me.

Son, you're 24.

-You can't just live with us forever.

-l know. l mean--

Time to get out in the world a little.

No one's home. Leave a message.

Hey, Jonnie.

Sorry, man, l'm not used to these things.

l'm calling to tell you--

Well, to ask you, really....

You see, Ned and Alice

are moving to Arizona...

...and l'm just here.

To tell you the truth, man,

l'm not sure what to do.

lt seems like l've just been...

...baking...

...for so long.

Bobby?

-You're here.

-l can't believe it, man.

You're here.

-How was your trip?

-lt was a trip.

Your new home.

Welcome to the Tarantula Arms.

l know, it's a lot.

Hey, man, you got bootleg Dylan.

-ls he here?

-He's here.

Welcome, Bobby.

Bobby, Clare, about whom

you've heard so much.

-Hi.

-l am so glad to finally meet you.

Me too. You.

Thanks for letting me, you know,

crash here for a while.

Well, come on. Grab your things,

get settled in. Come, Jonathan.

l like a little respite from all the dcor.

You wanna go out to dinner,

or do you want to unpack first?

l mostly brought, you know...

...records.

-Let's go out.

-Okay.

-Have fun, boys.

-You come too.

Well, l--

No. You guys need

a little time alone, l think.

No, really. Come.

Okay.

l'll just put on my other eye,

and we're out of here.

-Bobby is adorable!
