Running on Empty Dreams Page #3

You know I wouldn't

forget about you, Buddy.

Hey.

What's it been, two weeks?

I'm gonna burn the sauce.

Come on.

Turn on some cartoons for Matt,

take you in the bedroom and turn you on.

Stop, please.

Was there something

you wanted to talk about?

Hi!

Did I interrupt something?

And you are?

Jane!

And my sons. This is Tony and John.

Right. She's out jogging.

Well, she is a runner.

Yeah, she goes out running

when she wants to avoid confrontation.

Did you do something?

You shouldn't give her

anything to confront.

Happy wife, happy life, right?

Right.

Well, just tell her I said hi,

and I'll see her tomorrow,

if you could.

Come on, baby.

Hey.

Sorry about earlier.

Is that so bad I

just want to make love

to my wife sometimes?

Come here.

If anybody bothers you,

you let me know, okay?

If you have a question,

just ask the teacher

or raise your hand.

Mrs. Harris, it's

okay to feel nervous.

It's the first day of kindergarten.

Matthew's going to be just fine.

Have fun, okay?

That's one weird-ass chick, Syd.

Hey.

Can we talk?

Yeah.

No, I don't have much time.

Come here.

Are you okay?

Matt's across the street sleeping,

and Corey's out of town.

Come here.

My God, you're worrying me.

You're going to

think I'm completely crazy.

Yeah, maybe.

Just, I don't know, say

what you want to say.

I don't think I can.

Try me.

Sorry, I've wanted to...

F***, Jane, I've wanted to kiss you

since the first day that I met you.

Come on.

What? Why haven't you said anything yet?

Well, what was I supposed to say?

It's not like I can tell you

what you want or decide for you.

I can't do this.

I could lose everything.

I think the universe has a way

of balancing everything out,

and if you want something,

you should go for it.

You know, I tried to

stop this from happening.

I did. I prayed, and nothing.

I just don't, I don't get it.

You know, God shows us all these things

that we can't have and we can't touch,

and then He wants us to pray to Him

for strength not to want those things?

I think maybe some things

aren't meant to be stopped.

Man, as long as I can

still have sex with my wife,

then I'm good to go.

Man, I could be deaf and blind,

have both my arms and legs blown off,

and I'd still be happy with just my dick.

Man, you saved my life.

I didn't do sh*t, man.

You only got one leg.

But I gotta chance to be happy.

I was an ungrateful piece of sh*t before.

Life's too short to spend it being unhappy.

You're a f***in' hero, dude, I'm free!

You know what your problem is?

You had this picture in your

head of what it'd be like

to save somebody, how they could walk,

or they could run,

but you can't write the ending
