Marrowbone Page #3

---

Sh*t.

Not even 50 dollars.

Even if I sold a thousand cakes,

we wouldn't have the money.

What are we going to do, Jack?

I don't know, but if the truth

comes out, they will separate us.

Jack.

Jack.

The box.

What does it matter?

We don't have it anymore.

-I could get it back.

-No!

What else are we gonna do?

Jack, you promised me we would

never touch that money again.

Please?

I promised you a lot of things.

I can get it back, Jack.

We're rich!

Yes, Sam!

Yes, we're rich!

Oh, come on!

Oh, Jane, come on,

what's the matter?

It's blood money. We all

know where it comes from.

We shouldn't even touch it.

'Tis cursed.

Jack.

We don't have a choice.

Porter is coming tomorrow.

We have to be ready.

This isn't going to work.

It will.

It needs to look just like Mum's.

-Please!

-No.

It's Mum's room. I should

be allowed in there, too.

There are mirrors in here,

you can't go in.

Please.

What are we going to do

about the fortress?

We won't come inside.

What are you doing?

Painkillers Mum never took.

Billy, that could hill him.

Just in case of emergency.

He's here.

Everyone is clear on the plan?

I forgot to open the gate.

So sorry.

Mm.

What's this?

Mother's savings.

We haven't had time to make

arrangements to change it.

These are pounds.

Yeah, 200 pounds.

So?

Pounds are worth twice

as much as dollars.

That should cover all the costs

and...any fees.

I said a bank check.

Let me get you something to drink.

I'd like to beg one last favor.

If it's not too much to ask.

Our mother, she can't

get out of bed.

And she feels humiliated, the

idea of you seeing her this way.

Would you mind if I bring

the papers upstairs

and bring them down

signed for you?

Have her sign both copies.

Would you forget the damn

lemonade? I don't have all day.

You just need to

sign both copies.

Both?

Jack, can't possibly get the

signature right two times!

He'll notice they're

not the same.

You have to do it.

-Jane, please, now.

-One second!

There's no time.

Sign the second one. Sign.

Jane, he's outside.

-Jane, he's outside.

-Shut up, Jack.

Jane, there's no time.

Please.

Mum, stay in bed.

No, Mum, the doctor

said you can't get up.

Sign.

Almost done.

You can't come out.

He's coming, Jane.

Mum.

Mum, stay in bed.

Now!

Mum, I'll go to see Porter.

I'll be back in a minute.

I'm sorry, I was just...

Is she all right?

She just has no strength.

I had no idea

it had gotten so bad.

So, this solves it.

Marrowbone house now officially

belongs to your mother.

I'm glad we could...

wrap this thing up before

someone discovered...

You know, um...

that business about your father.

We're most grateful.
