How to Make an American Quilt Page #3

What's happened to our marriage?

I mean, it's been so long

since we even shared the same bed.

It's been hard on me, sugar.

What do you want me to do?

She's my sister!

She's my sister!

Glady?

Oh, sweetheart.

Glady?

What the hell are you doing?

I'm trying to find something I haven't smashed.

Honey, I'm going to work now.

As you wish, dear.

Sweetheart, this is really

kind of creepy, you know.

Can't you just toss all that junk out?

Self-expression heals the wounded heart.

Glady, for God's sake.

Here, you can iron your own.

Glady...

- Aren't you ever going to forgive me?

- You made your own bed.

Don't you understand why I did it?

Frankly, the reason eludes me.

Your sister was the closest...

...I could get to you.

Get out! Get out!

You must have been angry

for a really long time.

Your grandmother won't come in here,

so I'm stuck with doing all the laundry.

Did Grandpa ever find out?

I had decided to tell him everything.

Let the man die enlightened.

I was crazy, Finn.

I would've done anything.

Dr. Walton,

please call the operator.

Sweetheart.

That's my darling.

I brought ice cream.

Thank you.

Did you ever forgive Uncle Arthur?

Yeah. I forgave him.

That's what you do when someone dies.

Did you ever forgive Grandma?

Well...

I let her move in with me.

That is not necessarily the same thing.

I'm sleepy. I'm going to bed.

- 'Night.

- Good night, honey.

Yeah.

By the way, it was so good of you to take me in.

Good night, dear.

Honey, it's too hot to work.

Come on. Come swimming with us.

Good girl.

I just have to grab my bathing suit.

"Baby, love me

"Yes, yes she does

"Ah the girl's outta sight, yeah

"Says she loves me

"Yes, yes she does"

Come on.

"Gonna show me tonight, yeah

"She got the way to move me, Cherry

"She got the way to groove me

"She got the way to move me

"Cherry baby

"She got the way to groove me"

Look at that. That old dog.

- Dean, I'm watching you.

- Just talking, Glady. Just talking.

Just talking. Just talking, my foot.

Nice 'do.

Hi.

Cute hair, Em.

Em, you look beautiful.

Just imagine what he's talking about.

There you go.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Oh, man, what's going on?

What is he doing up there?

I've been standing here...

It seems it's been about 15 minutes.

You know what I just did?

I just did 30 laps doing the butterfly stroke.

- You know what my arms feel like right now?

- No.

They feel like I could take off and fly.

- So are you in training?

- Yeah. I'm gonna be an ocean swimmer.

Yeah?

What's your name?

Finn.

Like on a fish?

No, with a double "n."

It's one of those weird hippie names.

No, it's a beautiful name.

Finn.

That's the thing that slices through the water.
