Around the Bend Page #2

- Why did he leave?

- I have no idea.

He just left?

My mom and I were in this car accident

when I was 2. That's how I hurt my leg.

She died.

Afterwards, Turner just shot dope

around the clock...

...till he finally just disappeared.

And then he showed up today.

After 30 years?

F***. He's still your father.

- Would you stop saying that.

- He's your father.

He's not my father. Henry is.

Maybe. But Darth Vader didn't raise Luke,

but he still talks in his head:

"Luke, join me. Come to the dark side."

George Lucas didn't make that up.

That sh*t happens.

Can I get a shot for my friend

Yoda here, please?

I need your help, boy.

What's Albuquerque?

It's where we're going, son.

Only...

...that's gonna be our secret. Okay?

I need your word, Zach.

Good lad. Sit down.

Hello?

What?

They're where?

They're coming, sir.

Go back to sleep, Zach.

The boys are coming.

The boys are coming.

Zach.

So, what's with the bag? What's in it?

I don't know. Chicken, I guess.

Henry wouldn't have just

given us chicken, Turner.

I'd stay if I could.

Be okay with all... All this?

I'm sorry about Henry.

And I'm... I'm sorry about earlier too.

I just...

We haven't exactly had time

to sit down...

Is this about now?

What?

Is it about now, because if it's about

a lot of ancient stuff...

...we can't do anything about,

then I don't want to discuss it.

Do you like horror?

No.

- Want coffee?

- No.

Socially acceptable drug. Coffee.

Ever do heroin?

- No.

- That's good.

- You sure you don't want coffee?

- No.

I made a pot.

What time is your bus?

I'm gonna have to miss it.

This from Henry?

Son of a b*tch. He did it.

- That's a will?

- Yes. And it's very cogent too.

He even had it witnessed.

He's got a cook...

At a Kentucky Fried Chicken

stand, Albert? Come on.

Their literature refers to them

as restaurants.

And I think they prefer KFC,

but anyway, it's a cook...

...and one of the customers,

Dorothy O'Connor.

Oh, Henry.

- She had the two-piece box.

- What's she doing?

- There used to be a door here.

- Mom, this isn't our apartment.

- We live upstairs.

- Right here.

- So, what's it say?

- The will? As his lawyer, I can't tell you.

- Why?

- Why did you take the door away?

- What do you mean, you can't tell me?

- This is Jason's place, Mom.

This is not our apartment.

- He wanted the will read after the funeral.

- What funeral?

Turner's letter deals with

the funeral arrangements.

You got a letter? And you got a letter.

- I didn't get a letter.

- You got a Post-it.

- I got a Post-it.

- Is it cogent?

- No. Actually, it's not cogent.

- What's it say?

- What does your letter say?

- Some of it was private.
