Yelling to the Sky Page #2

---

You know, I learned a gazillion new words

in that book you got me.

You can come out now.

O'Hara, how's your sister?

Uh... She's fine.

I'm gonna f***ing...

She's getting on?

Um... Yeah,

you could say that.

How about you?

How you doing?

I... Um...

I gotta get to class.

I'm gonna be late. Sorry.

Come on, answer.

Mountains or ocean?

Who cares?

Don't be like that.

That was your favorite game.

You're the one that made it up.

Yeah, past tense, "was."

What happened?

Nothing. I'm gonna find Daddy.

I'll be right back.

Ma, Esther's sound asleep.

I'll be right back, okay?

I'm coming.

Bye, Mama.

Be safe.

This prick brother of hers,

he chased me eight blocks,

which is like eight

avenues over there.

So, I'm piping down, okay?

I got half his beard

on my belly button.

I swear to God, it was a rip.

Ripped it straight out.

And that was the last time

I was in Hawaii.

F***ing sand

and beach, my ass.

Oh-ho! It's my girls!

Hey, guys. Guys, you know my kids?

Hi.

Hey, what,

did your mother send you?

Dad.

This came for you.

What, you come all the way down here

just to give me a letter?

What is it?

Tell me, Ola.

What's it say?

What's it say?

"Dear Gordon, David John died in

his sleep last night.

"Regrets, Patsy."

Daddy's brother died?

Yeah. Go home.

Dad, we're gonna

wait for you.

No.

You've done enough already.

Go home.

Dad, it's okay.

We'll wait with you.

I don't want

the sight of you.

Go on, go on.

Get out of my f***ing face.

Dad. Don't make me

say it again. Okay?

Just go home. Go and make

yourselves useful.

Check on your

f***ing mother or just...

Come on, let's go before

someone sees us here.

Come on, Ola.

I hate him.

Don't say that.

His brother just died.

So what?

Damn, look at him.

Shut up, Sweetie.

Stop telling me what to do.

My pleasure.

"My pleasure."

Mama, may I

have some juice?

Quit slamming stuff.

I'm not slamming anything.

Oh, I'm sorry,

is that slamming?

Do it again, I dare you.

Smartass.

Ow!

That's what you get

for being a smartass.

If I was so smart, I wouldn't be stuck

here with all of you.

Oh, you're gonna get it.

Stop.

Mama?

Leave her alone.

If you wanna be useful, go make sure that

gravy's not fermenting.

That's it. I told you

to stop slamming sh*t.

Where did she go?

Ma!

Come back

inside now, Ma.

Go on and do.

Oh.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,

whoa, whoa.

You are leaving looking like that

over my dead body.

So be it.

Don't. Don't.

Don't you dare.

I'm still your father.

You're just this person that comes

and goes,

sucking the life out of...

Jesus, child.

Lorene!

Lorene!

You...

Last time.

There's some

glue on the floor.

Yeah, no sh*t.
