Sex, Death and Bowling Page #3

Are you hungry?

Here.

Go get us a couple of burgers.

We're going to head out now.

We'll come tomorrow at lunch and see

if we can't make any progress.

Right, Ben?

Some mechanism of the wrist

that I just can't seem to get.

I'm going some of my videos.

Watch Earl Anthony.

He was a southpaw too.

Still, Dick Weber was the best.

In what universe?

Are you kidding?

Weirdo Anthony couldn't touch Weber.

I'd say Earl's record speaks for itself.

And I would a nerdy weirdo over show

boat any day of the week, Hal.

Well, don't worry.

I'm usually able to master

concepts very quickly.

Come on.

A guy like you...

a piece of cake.

Well, we'll see you tomorrow.

Hey.

How you doing?

Is it bad?

Mm-mm.

OK.

Where you from, Anna?

Lovely Newark, New Jersey.

What brought you here?

I needed a change of pace, to

start travelling a little bit.

I like it here.

People are nice.

There air is clean.

It's quiet.

And it has the most beautiful

sunsets I have ever seen.

My mom used to make

Sean and me sit with her,

wave goodbye to the

sun when we were little.

That's your mom, huh?

She's very beautiful.

Sometimes I hear her calling me.

How long ago did she pass?

Six years ago.

Uncle Sean.

Hey.

Eli.

Wow.

You've gotten so big.

Dad.

Sean.

When did you get here?

This afternoon.

There was a big car accident on

the road, and it took a while.

Where... where you

guys coming from?

The bowling alley.

Grandpa's got the

Fiesta Cup on Saturday.

Hal's still playing?

Oh, yeah.

And Hal's

son-in-law, Ben.

Oh, really.

How's he?

He's a disaster.

He's not so bad.

Oh, come on.

He's almost as bad a

bowler as your uncle here.

Come on, let's go see dad.

You know, I have to go.

I have to pick up Evie,

then I have to lockup so...

But...

grandpa...

I'll be back later with Evie.

Yeah, listen.

Good job keeping those stats, kiddo.

It's important.

Well, listen, I got to go.

See you later, OK?

He never stays.

Yeah, I mean...

he's just... so, Eli,

are you bowling in the tournament too?

No, I can't.

Kids aren't allowed.

Oh.

You know, my dad, Hal, and grandpa

won it five years in a row

before my dad went to Iraq.

Yeah, well... they were always

good bowlers, those three.

Are you as bad as he said you were?

Actually bowling

was my best sport...

which isn't saying much.

Do you want to go see my dad?

Sure.

Oh, Uncle Sean.

Would you mind not telling me dad

that Ben's not a good bowler?

Of course.

Come on.

Thanks.

So, you know, this is

difficult for everybody, but

young...

Hey, Dick.

Dan.

I, uh... just

getting some talc.

Getting ready, you know.

You're still in the tournament?

Of course I am.
