Sleepwalk with Me Page #2

will break up,

and then I'll teach...

My God.

Ahl.

Shh, you're gonna wake up

my parents.

"You're a keeper."

Right.

And what does that imply?

That you're onna

rip a hook out of my mouth

and throw me back?

They're gonna let me live?

Here.

And Uncle Max is so subtle

with that whole,

"You're next," thing.

It's just like, these people

just have no lives, you know?

I mean, you don't want

to get married, right?

Are you asking?

No,

Then, no, I guess.

Abby, there's a jackal

in the room.

Abby, there's a jackal

in the room!

What?

There's a jackal, right there.

There's no jackal.

Come back to bed.

What's going on?

There, there.

Matthew?

There's a jackal.

That's-there's no jackal,

Matthew.

That's the hamper.

Go to bed, sweetie.

"There's a jackal in the room,"

right, son?

"Sweetheart, wake up.

There is no jackal.

Wake up."

I think they get it, Mom, yeah.

And he's in this, like,

little karate pose,

so sweet, in the corner.

And he didn't even take karate,

though.

Hey, Matt, you were no belt

in karate, I believe?

That's what it was.

- How are you at kung fu?

- Pretty good.

Dad, what are you doing?

How long has this sleepwalking

been going on?

No, Dad, you're gonna get

another heart attack if...

- Calm down.

- Hush, hush.

He doesn't care.

You know,

I work with some physicians

over at the hospital who

specialize in sleep disorders.

I could make a referral.

That might be really helpful.

I don't think

it's that serious.

You know,

it's only happened once.

Probably just a fluke.

Well, it's something

to keep an eye on.

Abby, can I count on you

to tell me if it happens again?

Thank you.

This bacon is delicious, honey.

Really greasy.

Turn right on Horse Neck Road.

You need money?

No, Dad, I have a job.

Why is that funny?

Well, you need some goddamn

reality testin.

You need a car?

No, I don't really drive.

Right.

You could have this car.

We're giving it up.

I don't know.

What do you think, Abby?

Matt...

'lol N,

No, take it.

- Thanks.

- Mmmmm.

Are we okay?

Is something wrong?

Matt, I'm not saying

I need to get married right now

or anythin.

Just-the idea that I spend

all of my time with a person

who can't even imagine that

as a possibility is just weird.

I know what you mean.

What can I say?

She was right.

But at this point in my life,

I mean, I was figuring out

some really basic stuff like:

What am I gonna do

with my life,

and where do you buy cereal?

You know?

I mean, I never thought

of marriage as a goal.

Like, I never looked

at my parents' marriage

or really anyone who'd been

married more than 30 years

and thought, "I got to get me

some of that."
