Into Temptation
We've been married for
years and I should
know him by now,
but the man
annoys me,
sitting in the garage
with his call-in
radio so loud
I can't hear
the television
in my own kitchen.
going on about whatever
pops into their pea brains.
And I know he's
smoking out there.
People talking and dancing,
and um,
wound up against
the wall with a boy.
And then we
were holding hands,
and then moving
to the music.
And, uh,
and then, uh,
we were kissing.
Grinding.
It freaked me out.
It's just a dream.
How old are you
now, Henry?
Nineteen.
Still bothers you?
It recurs.
Can you give me one
good reason why I should
bring her into a church
that says that she's
less than a boy?
It'll be here
when you're gone.
That's it?
Well, that's a lot!
Use what you can use.
Is that an official
Catholic position?
"Use what you can use?"
It's not.
And you didn't
hear it from me.
I've been looking
for work a year now.
Going through the motions
out there. She knows it.
God help me,
I almost hit Sarah.
Have you ever
hit her, Lloyd?
No.
Why'd you come
here today?
Hear you talk.
Seem like a man has
an idea what's going on.
Thank you.
And Sarah made me.
His new smoke eater...
Is there some
specific transgression
you would like
to talk about, Anita?
Where do I
start, Father?
He's gonna have a stroke
if he doesn't listen to
his doctor or his wife,
who still cleans
an office nights
to make ends meet,
and has a hot meal
on the table every
damn day, Father.
I ask Miguel,
a man of some age,
to do only two things.
Pick up his dirty socks
and his wet towels.
Father, I have a long
bus ride home from
a long day's work.
Ten, nine, eight,
seven, six,
five, four.
In the name of the Father,
the Son, and the Holy Spirit,
by the grace of God.
Bless me, Father.
I have sinned. My last
confession was 19 years ago.
Welcome back.
I'd like to confess
a sin I haven't
committed, yet.
Can I do that?
Well that's, that's
never come up. Uh...
What's the sin?
I'm going
to kill myself.
On my birthday.
And I'm Aries, Father,
so I don't have
a lot of time.
You there?
Yes.
What I say here
stays here, right?
Between you and God.
There a time limit?
Um, no. I have to,
I have to say
mass in a half hour.
But if-if you're
not done by then...
Oh, I'll be done.
I was 12 the first
time my stepfather
raped me.
I was... 13 when
I learned to like it.
Now you have
an appointment, Father.
And I'm done.
Do I know you?
That was, uh, I mean
your, your confession
actually it's called, uh,
reconciliation these
days. Same thing.
Just tell me whether
I'm damned to hell
or not, Father.
I'll leave you alone.
At this...
At this point,
normally I'd,
I would...
We're out
of time, Father.
I would, um,
I would like to,
I would like to continue
talking if that's all right.
Are you there?
Hello? Hello?
I started to write
a suicide note
and decided it
might not get read.
That's how alone I am.
And I'm Aries, Father,
so I don't have
a lot of time.
Hello?
Hello, Helen.
Uh-huh.
I'm so sorry.
Yes.
I'll be down first
thing in the morning.
I can come right now
if you'd like. No?
Okay. All right, tomorrow.
Bye.
I'd like to confess a sin
I haven't committed, yet.
Glory be to the
Father, and the Son,
and the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning,
is now and shall ever be,
world without end. Amen.
Let the love
of your family, Ray,
standing here with me,
and your extended family,
and your sea of friends,
and all those
you have touched
