The Good Lie Page #2
If you do not have a husband, then it
is your children who provide for you?
No. I don't have any children.
I'm not married.
I provide for myself.
Your survival skills are very impressive.
- Thanks.
- Mm...
- My brother's going to be sick.
- Uh-oh. Oh, no.
There's no way I can do that by Friday.
No. I'm just not a miracle worker, Tom.
I'll call him when I get
back in the office.
- She's talking alone.
- I gotta go.
- He all right?
- He has a weak stomach.
Excuse me. What is that?
That's McDonald's.
It's a place to eat.
When was the last time
you guys ate anything?
Okay. Here it is.
I'll call you tomorrow.
Are you guys just gonna stand there?
- Hello?
- Yeah!
- Hi.
- Hello! Hello! You got here.
Thank heavens. So sorry about the mix-up.
Well, I'm Pamela Lowi, your volunteer with Faith
Based Charities, your resettlement agency.
I'm gonna take it from here,
but thank you so, so much.
- No problem. I'll see you later.
- All right.
- Excuse me?
- Yeah.
You make our hearts throb
for your many kind assists today.
- Would you be so kind to tell us your name?
- Oh, sorry. Didn't I?
My name's Carrie Davis.
I'll call you tomorrow morning
and we'll start the job hunt.
May you find a husband
to fill your empty house.
I'll work on that.
We have a lot to cover.
This is your fridge.
You got your cabinets up here,
your stove top.
And I made you this.
Okey-doke. Follow me.
This is your bedroom.
Cozy, huh? These bunk beds
were just donated to my church...
so I snagged them for you.
They should do the trick.
See this?
If you flip it up, the light comes on.
Isn't that great?
There's one of these in every room.
Pamela, we have a sister,
and she has been separated from us.
Yes, right, your sister.
I'm so sorry. No family here wanted her.
Switching the paperwork is near impossible,
but I'm sure she's with good people.
Now, this is called a living room.
And this light, you've gotta turn on
and off with this turny kind of thing.
- See?
- What I meant to say was...
- ...she needs to be here with us.
- Yes, we want her here.
It wouldn't be proper.
Besides, where would you put her
in this tiny place?
on these matters I can speak with?
There's just no getting around it. Sorry.
Let's go to the bathroom next.
This is your only bathroom.
I did go ahead and get you some bathmats...
It's very comfortable, no?
It must be an alarm.
Maybe.
Mamere! Jeremiah! Open the door!
You are here.
Why didn't you answer the phone?
I've been calling you.
For job hunt? We waited by the window,
but we did not hear your call.
No, I called you on this.
This is a telephone.
Do you know what a telephone is?
