Dear Frankie Page #4
I'm entitled to some privacy.
I'm allowed one thing of my own. Just one.
I'm here, Frankie.
I'm the one that's here.
I'm the one that's still here!
Are you still in a huff with me?
I wish you wouldn't sit there. You'll get a chill.
Suit yourself.
I need to tell you something important.
Of course he wants to see you.
He might not want to see me,
but he'll always want to see you.
You're his boy.
Maybe he just can't, Frankie.
It's been a long time.
Like yourself.
You look like yourself.
Heard from your dad yet, Frankie boy?
Hold on! I wasnae finished with that.
Well, hurry up. I haven't got all night.
Come on, Frankie, you too. Eat.
Where's the bloody fire?
I'm going out, that's all.
If the wind changes, your faces'll stay like that.
Bacardi and Coke, please.
I hope you're not working, sweetheart.
We don't do deals in here.
No. On your bike.
# Spiegel Im Spiegel
I suppose you're dying to know
what I was doing.
Well, I'd be a liar if I said I wasn't, but...
...that doesn't mean you have to tell me.
I was looking for a man.
A stranger.
No past, no present...
...no future.
I was looking for a man to be Frankie's dad.
Just for a day, one single day,
and I was going to pay him to do it.
Where the hell have you been?
I've been worried sick.
I've been at Marie's.
Everything's all right now.
Pass to me!
Dear Da, in case you're interested,
the football trials are on Saturday
at Boundary Park.
10:
30.into the reserves if I want.
But I don't. I'm rubbish at football.
Who cares about a stupid bet anyway?
Yes!
Another goal by the master!
I know
you're only three whole days away,
so you might not even get this letter.
If you can't come and see me,
that's all right, I understand.
Ma says it's been a long time
and you've probably changed.
I have, that's for sure.
I'm now four foot eight inches tall,
and I have brownish hair, just like Ma's.
Do you know something funny, Da?
I think Ma knew you'd be coming.
That's why she brought us here.
I think she wanted you to find us.
Lizzie Morrison?
Yeah.
An Americano. Strong.
- Just water.
- Sparkling or still?
Tap.
Don't get service like this at Marie's.
Marie didn't tell me much about you.
No past, present or future.
That's what you said you wanted.
Frankie's letters to his dad.
He's been writing them for a few years now.
He's a lovely wee writer.
Well, you'll see that for yourself.
He sends them to a post office box
here in Glasgow,
and I collect them twice a month
and then I write back.
Um, this is one of mine.
That's a Scottish postmark.
Yeah, I've told him there's a central mail depot,
