Grace Is Gone Page #4

Oh, hey, don't--

don't get too close.

I think I have bad breath.

[villain in cartoon]

New lamps for all!

Is your dad here?

Can I help you?

John, what are you doing here?

What are you doing here?

Trying to find a way in.

What, the front door

too obvious for you?

Open the door, man.

Hey, bro.

How are you, man?

I'm good, man.

How you doing?

Come on in.

So what have you

been up to, John?

I'm studying to take the GRE.

Good. You going back to school?

I'm thinking about it, yeah.

That's great. What for?

Law. Or medicine.

I haven't decided yet.

Oh.

That's great.

What's new with you?

Not much.

You all right?

What do you mean, am l--

l-- I'm fine.

You're not upset?

About what?

Uh, I don't know.

I mean, where do I start?

The situation's such a mess.

The situation? What situation?

What situation?

I mean, it sounds like

a f***ing mess over there.

Watch your language.

Sorry. Sorry.

You don't know what

you're talking about anyway.

Who does?

The administration?

I mean, they'll tell you

the sun comes out at midnight

if it serves their cause.

And how about that monkey boy

president of yours?

He's your president, too.

I didn't vote for him.

You didn't vote at all, did you?

That's-- That's not the point.

Isn't it?

Just...

stop talking.

Let's not have that

conversation right now.

You'd like that, wouldn't you?

That's what your side's

all about, isn't it?

Censoring dissent?

Stop.

Why? I mean, we're just talking.

Are you afraid of talking?

No, I'm not afraid of that at all.

I just don't want to confuse the girls.

Is that all right?

I'm sure they're already confused.

I mean...

really, what do you

think about all this?

Do you have an opinion?

They think their mom's a hero,

and they think it's easy

to criticize the situation

when you're sitting

in your mom's living room

thinking about

going back to school--

maybe law, maybe med--

I don't know.

They think every one

of those privileged opinions

is a freedom that their mother

fights for daily

on your behalf.

That's what they think.

Well, it's-- it's good to see

that you let them

think for themselves.

You girls hungry?

You think your dad

will buy us lunch?

It's 4:
30, man.

You think your dad

will buy us dinner?

Want to buy Uncle John dinner?

You don't want to come?

No, I think I'm just

going to stay here and...

take a little cat nap.

You're bigger than

the last time I saw you.

How old are you now?

Dawn's 8. I'm 12 1/2.

Wow.

How old are you?

Bet that sounds

pretty old to you, doesn't it?

Do you have a job?

Why? Are you hiring?

No.

Hey, how come you kids

are out of school?

Dad's taking us

to Enchanted Gardens.
