Life Support Page #4

Yeah, I'd love

to go to a game.

You know what?

You should ask your sister

if she wanna

come with us.

I bet you she'd

wanna come if you invited her.

- Okay. I think she'd really like that.

- Right.

On top of that,

the school is so overcrowded

they got them eating lunch

at 10:
00 in the morning.

She ain't hungry

at no 10:
00.

And how she's supposed

to learn anything

if she's sitting in class half the day

on an empty stomach?

Well, sounds like you're on it.

What's that supposed to mean?

Just what I said.

You're good with Kim.

It's good you're so involved.

Anyway, I brought her

some snacks for later.

And I got a kitchen full of food.

We do this every Friday.

Every Friday I tell you the same thing.

No, it's no bother.

- Hey, Miss Kelly.

- Hi, Mom.

Hey. These are for you.

- Did you get my message?

- Yeah, thanks.

- What?

- You wanna keep your hair like that?

I mean, I like it.

I'm just saying, you know,

you play basketball

and girls might get a little...

Mom, I'm gonna keep

my hair like this, all right?

All right.

Girls might try

and test you, though.

It's all I'm saying, you know...

Okay.

Okay.

- I like it. It's tight.

- Thank you, Kim.

So, you all gonna watch

the Liberty game tonight?

- Oh yeah.

- Kim wants to ask you something.

What's up?

About the game.

I really want you

to take me to the Liberty game.

- Can we go?

- Of course we can go.

That would be fun me...

and you at the Liberty game,

all the way in Manhattan

on Friday night?

They play the Sparks

on the 10th.

Life Support got

a whole block of tickets.

But if we wanna go,

we gotta sign up soon,

because, you know, the tickets

are gonna go soon...

Wait, so now

we're all gonna go?

Well, I thought

it'd be fun.

You know?

A little girls' night out.

You better check out

where those seats are.

Yeah, last time I got

a nosebleed sitting in them seats.

We got binoculars.

It's a good thing,

'cause you're gonna need them

up there in those bleachers.

You should have heard

her talking about

"Oh, so now we're all gonna go?"

With that old snotty-ass voice

she uses now.

What snotty-ass voice?

The one that says

"You don't know sh*t. "

I seem to remember

somebody else being the same way,

walking around

in those dungarees

talking about,

"What you need my number for?

- What you're gonna do with it?"

- Whatever. We're not talkin' about me.

Yeah, but you were

just like them sometimes.

- Them who?

- Kelly and your moms.

You're always making

excuses for them, Slick.

- No, I don't.

- Yes, you do.

You don't even

know Kelly like that.

I mean...

barely.

I don't know what

you want me to say, Ana.
