just to keep us going...
without wasting it on a silly bike.
- It's not silly. It's important.
Is it more important than my insurance?
Yes. I don't care about your insurance.
You hear that? She don't care.
Well, I do. That bike's going back.
Roy, you can't take it away from him now.
I'll go without something myself.
- That coat you promised me.
- What's that got to do with it?
I want that kid taken care of.
Then take care of him now, why don't you?
He's just a kid.
He don't know about insurance.
That's in the future. He can't see that far.
And I don't want him to see that far.
Don't make it
so that all he's got to look forward to...
is something happening to you.
What's she complaining about now?
Same old thing. I don't do enough for her.
You'll never do enough for her.
I'm beginning to think you're right.
Tommy! Come here!
You're not gonna do it.
Come back here
I gotta go now.
Okay, you take it away from him.
But that's the last thing
you'll ever take away from him.
and watch him bury his hopes one by one.
You're not gonna do that to him.
He's gonna have a bike
if I have to go out and steal it.
Tommy, look out!
Ethel, where are you going?
I'm leaving you, Roy.
You can't hold him responsible
for what happened.
It was God's will.
A 6-year-old boy.
It's not for us to question.
I don't believe that.
- I don't believe God works that way.
- Then you do blame me.
- That's why you're leaving.
- No.
I'm leaving because I haven't anything
to hold me here anymore.
I would have left a long time ago
if it hadn't been for Tommy.
Why don't you think it over, Ethel?
Things will look better in the morning.
How many mornings
have you lived, Mom?
And how many of those mornings
But you got to keep hoping, keep trying.
That's what I've been doing.
That's all I been living on.
Don't you see, Mom?
I'm not a kid any longer.
I've gotta do something about it now,
while I've still got a chance.
But there's still a chance here.
It can work out. We can start over.
Don't you understand anything about me?
How can we start over?
We can. We can plan it different.
Have another kid.
- What have we got to give another kid?
- Whatever you want.
I'll show you. I promise you.
That's what you said
when we were married.
It's what you said when Tommy was born.
It's what you said every year since.
But it's still the same.
- With you, it'll always be the same.
- I've done the best I could.
Well, it ain't good enough.
Let her go. She'll be back.
She'll find out what it's like.
