Little Man Tate Page #2

Day before that, correct me if I'm wrong, he wrote you an opera for Mother's Day.

I mean, Jesus, Dede, if anyone's bored, it's me.

Am I that bad? Sorry.

Psst!

- What? - Come here.

- What? - I got a line on somethin'.

Yeah?

Guy comes in here yesterday. He owns this big hotel down in Orlando.

They do a show every night and he says he needs dancers.

Look at this place. It's beautiful.

Oh, come on, Gina. I ain't danced since I was . And even then, I wasn't so hot.

And there is the matter of my big, fat ass too.

Please, we're talkin' Orlando, honey. Not Vegas.

Down there, if you can tap your feet, you're Madonna.

I say we go down there for the summer and make a vacation out of it.

Hey, you two wanna blab, go work for the phone company.

Why don't you take a pill, ape-shape? We're tryin' to talk here.

Well, the place does look really nice.

Fred does like to swim.

Contrary to what you're saying, Ms Montoya...

...welfare is in fact bad for minorities.

As a social worker, every day you must see people who have simply given up.

And who's to blame them?

I mean, with people like yourself fighting for bigger and bigger hand-outs...

...there's no incentive...

- Dede? - Mm.

Wake up.

What? What's wrong, kid, huh?

You sick?

You feel OK to me.

This is for you.

Looks like somebody already opened it, huh?

It's from the Grierson School. They wanna meet us.

Yeah, yeah. I can read, Fred.

Do me a favour. I had a bad night. Go get your mother a Coke, OK?

Come on, I'd do it for you.

This jerk, he's got all his stuff separated into whites, off-whites...

...whites with stripes, whites with polka dots.

He's got ten dryers all to himself. Drivin' me crazy.

So you know what I do?

I go outside and I kick his car so that his siren goes off.

So the alarm's goin' off. He comes back in screamin' and he goes...

..."Hey! What happened to my briefs?"

So you know what I do? I start talkin' like I don't speak English.

- Hey! Did I hit anybody? - I'm trying to read.

What are you such a crabby appleton for, huh?

"The Mathematician". Any good?

"The MatheMagician". It's Jane Grierson's new book.

Oh.

Jane Grierson again. Great!

This boy, Damon Wells, can multiply two columns of -digit numbers...

...in five minutes.

Oh.

When Jane Grierson found him, he was living in a foster home.

Now he travels all over the place.
