Prayers for Bobby Page #4

Yeah, that's good but...

I don't know the point of it.

I mean, my face has cleared up but

everything else feels the same.

Well you have to stick with it.

Do you like the people in your group?

They're ok.

This one girl, she...

You know, I hope you're taking this

seriously.

I mean that I hope you are trying with

all your might.

I cannot lose you to this.

You won't.

Have faith!

Well this is gonna be fun.

When was the last time all the

Griffith men went hiking together?

So how's school?

Good.

You thought about your plans?

Well college...

No, I mean...

life plans.

Well, I'm still thinking of becoming

a writer.

Listen Bobby, you always had a strong

imagination.

and we've always been alright with that.

But you're getting to the age where

you're gonna have to get practical.

Alright, dreams...

they're great when you're young, but...

they don't really have...

really have a place in the real world.

Yeah.

You hear what I'm saying to you?

-Yeah.

-Alright, alright. Le'ts go, let's move.

Alright.

How did it go?

I'm "healed".

It was fine.

Did you two talk?

Yeah, we talked.

What did you talk about?

Mary, it was fine.

No, but this is important.

This could make him or break him.

I did the best I could.

Is that alright with you?

A lot of times, confusions like Bobby's

can be caused by a distant father or

an overbearing mother.

Well, I had both but I'm fine.

-Bob?

-Yes?

You need to participate in this.

I'm right here Mary. I'm in the room.

I think...

I've been a very good father.

And maybe you don't know this but

Bobby. I mean he was never into...

stuff that his brother and other boys

were into. He's just not interested.

So I'm not gonna force him.

Hi Bobby I'm Sheila.

Mum, who's that?

Sheila is a student in my Sunday

school class.

You got me a date?

You need to go out with lots of girls.

And your dad thinks so too.

Can I at least pick my own?

I donnot think that you are.

Have fun.

You look nifty. Do you want a brownie for energy?

-No

-Take them up! No?!

Hello. Who's this?

That's my brother Ed.

-Hi.

-Hi, I'm Sheila.

-Nice to meet you.

-Nice to meet you too.

-Hi.

-Are you up to see my friends?

-Yeah!

So you're never gonna talk to me again?

???

What if she wants me

to kiss her goodnight?

Tell her you're gay.

Watch out fag.

Did you tell your friends?

Bobby, that's not my friend.

You told everyone I'm gay?

I haven't told anyone. Stop being

so paranoid.

You all hate me for it.

I know you don't think I see it but I do.

I gotta go.

Bobby...

It's 3 in the morning!

Sorry I lost track of time.

Where were you?

Bobby...

You weren't with homosexuals, were you?

This is not you.
