The Wait Page #2

It's closer to the Earth

than it's ever been.

Okay.

Let's do that.

Besides, I don't know

what else to do.

It'll never reach us.

There she is.

That's not a girl.

That's a girl.

Is this

on your mom's account?

Look.

Look at me.

Look at me.

Look at me, would ya?

The registry for her death

certificate wasn't there.

It's another sign.

They moved their offices

to Bend.

You're gonna have her

rot in there?

No.

It's Mom!

Hey, Ian.

I left my board here.

I haven't seen it.

You want a smoothie?

That's cool.

Where's Sam?

They went to Portland

for a few days.

I just found this...

this taping...

of a show I was on

when I was a kid.

But I never saw it.

Yeah, Sam said you're

on a real nostalgia kick.

Here, check it out.

He's from Newberg, Oregon.

The top row up here.

What's your name?

Todd.

That's right.

All right.

Another one.

Second girl.

And there's a smile

if I ever saw one, right?

We need one more now.

Here we go.

Do you mind?

Does Sammy smoke?

What is your name?

Adam.

Smile for us, Adam.

All right.

I saw a couple up here.

Where was it I saw...

Right down here.

- What is your name?

- Stuart.

How's your mom doing?

I'll show you

something really good.

I want

something fun.

Hawaii.

Show me a beach.

Boring.

Ready?

That was horrible.

Why'd you show me that?

Watch again.

See, this is good.

It's real.

All right, play it again,

but slower.

You can't.

I wanna...

I wanna pause it.

When?

See?

Why does she do that?

They're holding hands.

It's her dad. And she just lets go.

Did you grow up here?

Yeah, in the summers.

My mom and my little brother

moved here full-time after my dad...

Did you know that this whole area is a...

is a dried-up sea?

Oh, yeah?

I did my research.

My dad's been trying to

get me to visit for a while.

What do you do?

Study rocks,

more or less.

Just make us

feel super puny.

I don't know why I thought

we'd be able to see it.

I had a dream today

after we met.

I took a nap.

We met today, right?

So, Barbra Streisand

was on Oprah,

and she was crying,

and... she confessed to the world

that she had full-blown AIDS.

And...

And Oprah took her hand,

and she said, "So do I."

And they were both

just totally crying.

And right after

she said it, she...

She was crying so hard

that she farted.

And I...

This really sad moment became

really funny for everyone else.

And...

What's that mean?

I just...

I thought it was...

Did they, um,

take your mom?

Yeah.

Hey, this is weird, but...

Will you give me something?

Give what?

Something from your niece.

There's only one.

Do you wanna share it?

Yeah.

Like what?

What do you mean?
