Surviving Christmas Page #2
How's the $ 72.50 comin'?
Good. It's comin' good.
Keep the meter running.
- Almost out of salami.
- No.
Well, thank you for telling me.
- I don't wanna run out, that's all.
- God forbid.
- Did Brian eat?
- I don't know.
Get down here
and eat your dinner.
- I'm not hungry!
- Yeah, you are!
Stop yelling at me.
I'm not yelling at you.
Brian!
Brian!
Get down here please, so your father
can stop not yelling at me!
I'm busy!
We shouldn't have put
the computer in his room.
He's gonna spend
all his time there.
Oh, Tom.
Welcome to the future, dear.
He's advancing his skills.
One day that computer's
gonna get our baby a good job.
Trust me. What he's doin',
nobody's gonna pay for,
'cause if they did,
I'd have retired at 17.
- What?
- There's a guy out there.
Who the hell is that?
All right. Alone on Christmas.
I can do this.
I rid myself
of all my grievances.
Be gone, grievances.
What the...
I forgive you.
Holy Moly. This joker.
What are the neighbors gonna think?
Unless they want to get hit, they
shouldn't be burning crap in my yard.
Is he still breathing?
Dear God, Tom.
You've killed the man.
Oh, sh*t! He's still alive!
Hello.
My name is Drew Latham.
I grew up in this house.
That's why you came back and
tried to burn it down, Pyroboy?
- Brian, call the cops.
- Oh, no, no, no!
That won't be necessary. That's fine.
I was just outside burning,
someone told me to burn
a list of my grievances
outside of the home of my birth
to help me with loneliness issues.
- So, it's all fine.
- Oh.
Any-hoo, apologies
and I'm gonna go.
Would you mind terribly
if I took a look-see around the house?
- I'll give you a tour.
- Oh, thank you.
Hold on.
- You got any more matches?
- No. No, no, no.
Are we done with all that?
Yes. The burning. Yes.
It's completely done.
I'm actually better.
I'm watching you.
Wow. I can't believe it!
This is amazing!
It's exactly how I remember it.
- You mean it was always a shithole?
- No. No, it's great.
Did you hear that?
That stair squeaked.
Do you know what we
used to call that squeaky stair?
"The squeaky stair. "
Wow. My old room.
My God.
Hey, look at that!
I can touch the ceiling.
It's much smaller than I remember it.
Did you do something?
Yeah. We had it reduced.
Cost a lot, but yeah,
I think it was...
Man, this is great.
Man, this is the best.
You guys sittin' around
eatin' dinner like a family.
This is really wonderful.
Wonderful.
So, what's for dessert?
- Kitchen's closed.
- Aw.
- Yeah, I got things to do.
- Ah, boy.
Tom, why don't you
see the man out?
I didn't want to let him in.
