I know what I did
probably looks like bad news...
but I bet you would do the same
if you were twelve...
and your life
was as screwed up as mine.
My dad was a bomber pilot
in the war.
On one of his missions, he hit
It was an accident,
but it really freaked him out.
when I was in third grade.
Mom used to be
for the war like Dad...
but that all changed after
she saw what it did to him.
Dad came back from the war
and quit the military.
One night, he took me
down to the gulf.
We collected driftwood
and burned his uniform.
Dad said it was nothing
but a killer's costume.
After that, he moved us
from Texas to Key West.
In those days,
he was drinking a lot.
But by spring...
he started fasting
and took a vow of silence.
Then one day,
he just disappeared.
He wrote Mom and said
he wasn't coming back.
I wrote him once to ask,
"What about me?"
He didn't answer.
They're goin'
to the friggin' moon.
Half my money
goes to taxes...
so they can blow away
peasants in pajamas...
and fly to the friggin' moon.
So, what do you say?
You want to replace Monica
on stage or not?
I don't know.
I guess so.
Guess all you want.
Just let me know by tonight.
Well, so long, babe.
We're gonna miss
your 38s, you know?
- Thanks for everything.
- Sure.
Maybe with your tits,
I'll bill you as a 12-year-old.
You got a way with words,
Connie. Let's go.
When Dad was with us,
we lived in a house...
and I had my own room.
These were
the good old days...
which Mom doesn't like me
talking about.
If I do,
she says "G.T.F."...
which stands for
"Going too far."
This is Mom's ladylike way of
telling me to shut the f*ck up.
Hi, Mom!
All you have to do
is adjust the straps.
The thought of them touching me
gives me the creeps.
what you make bartending...
and you won't mind them
touching you so much.
I love you, Tracy,
but it's time you faced facts.
As hard as you work,
you still don't have enough...
for a little house.
If you want a future
for yourself and the kid...
you're gonna have
to bump and grind for it.
You're a tough lady, Monica.
I'm not tough. I'm practical.
Good morning, Termina.
You look pretty.
Thanks.
Good morning.
Yes.
Don't be late
for the card flip, boss!
OK!
Termina, eat your
sunflower seeds, please.
- Yeah, Termina.
- Shut up.
Hey, Snyder!
Come on!
It's OK!
Don't you say bye?
Not to you.
Mom and me stayed
in Key West.
She took a night job
being a bartender...
to help pay the rent...
but pretty soon, we had to move
to the Eden House.
Mom was waitressing there...
so the room only cost us
twenty bucks a week.
One 25-pound bag
of yellow onions...
I really dig Emmett,
but the way he chain-smokes...
he could drop dead like a fly
at any second.
And if there's one thing
I've learned...
it's a total nightmare
to love someone...
and have them cut out on you.
It at least will come back
with something...
for the geologists to study.
I'll call you right back.
Armstrong and Aldrin will
collect more than 100 pounds...
of lunar material.
- Seen Mom?
- Not yet.
When you had a mom,
did she used to work all night?
She only had time to sleep.
though.
He was a bootlegger.
Would you mind putting
the fish on ice?
French toast, pick up.
Swiss cheese omelet, pick up.
Wrong knife.
So, where's
the little guy's mom?
Still at her night job.
She can't get her tables
set on time...
she gonna have
to find another job.
Be nice to her for once.
