The Truth About Emanuel Page #2

---

Mmm.

Well, I don't want to keep

you from your work. So...

Oh, here.

Oh!

No, no, I couldn't.

Oh, please?

If I put these all in my house

it's going to look like a wake.

Oh, thank you, they're beautiful.

Okay.

I'll see you in a bit.

So why don't you like your stepmom?

She's fine.

It's just been me and

my dad for so long,

still getting used to

having someone else there.

Where's your mom?

Dead.

Oh. That's awful.

Could you, um...

Could you pick up these tools and this

tarp and put it back in the shed for me?

Yeah, sure.

False alarm.

She was just stretching, and

making herself feel comfortable.

Uh, I'd love to be able to

take power naps like that.

I have something for you.

Pour toi.

I actually lived

in France for a stint.

Thank you.

Oh, positive. I don't even know

how they got in the moving boxes.

There's a basket of, uh, Chloe's

things in the laundry room.

Could you take them upstairs

to the hall closet for me?

Yeah, sure.

What are you doing?

I thought I heard something,

but now I don't.

Huh.

I don't hear a thing.

I'll do this load again.

It's fine.

Just come down.

I don't want to mess

with her sleeping schedule.

Hey,

what are you doing out here?

Studying.

Studying?

French.

Really.

You must be pretty good by now.

You know, you get that

from your mom.

She soaked up languages

like a sponge.

She dragged me to so many

French films, I can't remember.

Do you ever think about what it would have

been like if I'd died instead of Mom?

No.

Really?

I do.

You know, Em, I've been thinking.

Maybe this is the year that you come

with me to visit your mother's grave.

You know, it doesn't have to be on

the actual day of your birthday.

And why would I do that?

I think it's important on the anniversary

of someone's death to pay your respects.

If you want the company,

take Janice.

It's not about company, honey.

It's about you.

Hi.

Wasn't expecting to see

you until this afternoon.

It's the weekend.

You said you wanted help

organizing your office.

Right.

Well, uh, just go ahead. I'll meet

you in there. Chloe's asleep.

Oh.

Where to start?

Uh-huh.

This was her favorite.

But we dropped it so many times

it has now been officially retired.

Linda?

I'm sorry. I just...

I just realized how tired I am.

You know, I think I am going to

take a little nap in the study.

Would you take this

box to my bedroom?

Yes.

I heard her on the monitor too.

Yes, it's okay.

Oh. I know.

You don't like it when you

do a pee-pee in your diaper.

No, you don't.

It's really the only time

she gets fussy. Can...

I can feed her off schedule, then put

her down to sleep off schedule, but...

She doesn't get her diaper
