Hysterical Blindness Page #2

Me too.

l'm parked over there.

lt's my special spot.

You want me to walk you to your car?

Yeah, sure.

That's mine. Camaro '84.

l'm really into cars.

-That's nice.

-What's your name?

-Rick.

-l'm Debby.

l'm in customer service. What do you do?

l work construction.

Where do you usually hang out?

At home.

l got my own house.

Sometimes, l go and watch

my buddies play softball.

You don't play?

No, l don't got team spirit.

l'm always waiting for one of my buddies

to do something stupid, so l can laugh.

l'd always root for a good laugh.

Me, too! l'm exactly like that.

l got to get going.

-See you.

-Yeah, see you.

Thanks for walking me to my car.

l owe you a drink now.

Yeah, okay.

All right, l'll be here tomorrow night.

Cheer up.

Sure. Thanks.

Hi, Suzie.

l had a nice time.

You can say that again.

l did, too.

You're an early riser. l like you already.

This is my daughter, Debby.

You're up early, honey.

How do you do?

My name is Nick Piccolo.

l met your mother at the Skyway's.

l have breakfast there almost every morning.

ls that your Ford in the driveway?

ls it parked out of whack?

lt's parked in my driveway, that's all.

There's plenty of room

for both of the cars, Debby.

No, there's not.

You don't know that, do you?

You don't drive, remember?

Why are you up so early, Debby?

ls something wrong?

l was gonna tell you

about my night last night.

But l guess l won't.

Nice girl.

She can be, really.

All the neighbors used to say that.

Want some coffee?

A little.

Amber!

-Amber Autumn!

-What?

Will you go see what she wants?

What do you want?

l want to go to Skyway's for a Sky High.

Go get your mother!

Come on, we're going to Skyway's!

And it doesn't matter that you're mad,

we're going.

Hurry up!

You know how impatient she is!

Fine.

Let's not be mad.

l had to walk all the way home by myself,

carrying my hairspray.

l was standing outside Ollie's last night,

smoking, and Patrick Swayze eyes...

walked right up to me and started talking.

He talked to you?

He must've seen me in the bar or something.

We had the most amazing conversation.

lt was really short, but it was really special.

You said he was a conceited jerk.

l didn't know him then.

l do now.

Did you go home with him?

No, it wasn't like that.

l just let him walk me to my car.

He walked you to your car?

He did.

This guy is real different.

At the end, when we were saying goodbye,

he went:

"Cheer up."

Why?

Because he was trying

to say something nice to me.

Congratulations, Deb.

Amber, can you sit back down?

l can't see.

What a night.

lt's amazing how fast

everything can change.

And a small orange juice.
