My Bloody Valentine Page #2

Hey, you missed me on TV.

Oh, yes! That's right! How was he?

When you gonna dump this bum

and run away with me?

I get off work at 8.

Well, I'll be sure to tuck the top down

on my Cadillac.

Ben. Come on. I'm sitting right here.

Sarah? I've got a doctor's appointment.

Is it okay if I come in late today?

Yeah. Get there when you can.

Well, gentlemen,

I got some Huffy vans to track down.

You want me to come with?

No. No, you can hang tight, Martin.

Finish your coffee.

I'll call you if I need backup.

This place gives me the creeps.

Can we meet in a motel next time?

Yeah, that's a great idea.

We'll just pull up and check in.

I don't think anybody would notice

a sheriff's car parked out front.

Maybe one day, you'll tell your wife.

Maybe.

I figure you'll be with Sarah

on Valentine's, so...

I...

I didn't get you anything.

You don't need to.

You already have.

I'm pregnant.

Tom. What are you doing here?

What do you mean?

I'm here to sign the papers.

They moved the signing to Monday.

They moved it to Monday. Great.

Well, you're here now.

Want to come in and have a drink?

Yeah. Okay.

We missed you at the funeral.

Of course, your father missed you

long before that.

Oh, he could have found me

if he wanted to.

You know, he'd kick your ass

if he knew you were selling the mine.

- It is what it is, Ben.

- Bullshit.

That mine is Harmony's life blood, Tom.

We're talking families here.

I was assured that everyone

would get severance

and that the more experienced men,

like yourself, would be kept on.

For how long? Three months?

That's not my problem.

No! It's my f***ing problem.

Those mines have been

outdated since I was a kid.

But my father

was just too stubborn to see it,

and you know that.

So that's what all this is about.

All right.

If you need to make

peace with your daddy...

there he is.

I'm majority shareholder.

And I'm selling the mine.

And that's all there is to it.

Your dad and I protected those men!

Selling the mine won't sit well

with anyone in this town.

Well, come Monday, I'm gone.

Louis! Get back here this instant!

Louis!

- Is Mel around?

- God, I hope not.

Mel has been dead for seven years.

Trade you the pooch for a room.

All right. Come.

Yes!

Oh, yeah!

Oh, yes! Frank!

Oh, my God. What's wrong?

I look so hot today.

Oh, yes...

Stay down, Harry!

So you gonna be okay to drive back,

or do you want me to

put in for another night?

I got a two-day haul to make

in one day, if I'm gonna

get back by Valentine's.

Ah, Valentine's.

Did you know that St. Valentine

- was a patron saint of love?

- Yeah.

Yeah, the whole thing started in Rome

in, like, the year 500 or something.
