My Life Without Me Page #4

and we...

and then we splash down in the water.

No,

- what's that?

- Is that a shark?

It is a shark.

They're really really mad at us.

They thought

that this river was the ocean.

They're really mad!

Here, I think you should eat those.

Are you going to go to work?

Yeah, I'll go in.

Your mother said she could get

a lift back if you want to rest.

No, I should go in.

I thought you were pregnant.

Yeah. Me too.

You sure you're all right?

Yes, I'm good,

I'm just a little bit tired, that's all.

You know, next month when I get

my paycheck we could go to Whalebay Beach.

Would you like that?

Yeah,

that'd be nice.

Patsy hasn't even been

at the beach before.

Yeah. I've got a good feeling

about things,

with the swimming pools, I mean.

I really do.

Thinking.

You're not used

to thinking.

When you have your first kid

at seventeen with the only man

you've ever kissed in your life,

and then another kid when you're

nineteen, with the same man,

and you live in a trailer

in your Mom's backyard,

and your Dad's been in jail

for ten years,

you never have time to think.

Maybe you're so out of practice

you've forgotten how.

- What is this?

- It's coffee.

- Yes. I asked for an espresso.

- The espresso machine ain't working.

So if the espresso machine

wasn't working,

then why didn't you tell me

the espresso machine wasn't working?

I figured you wanted coffee.

You brought me a coffee.

I asked for an espresso.

Okay, just relax.

Come back next week,

we'll have espresso.

- Hey, could you please lend me a pen?

- Sure, honey,

just tell me what you want first,

so as I can write it down

and then I can lend it to you,

that way we'll all be happy.

Okay, I'll have...

Don't say espresso because

the espresso machine ain't working...

don't say cappuccino

'cause it's the same machine.

Okay, I'll have a...

a Danish.

Got no more 'til tomorrow.

Can I get then a coffee and

just something sweet, like anything

you have that's sweet.

Pineapple cheesecake?

It's the sweetest thing we got.

Actually it's the only thing we've got.

That's fine, that's great.

Pineapple cheesecake.

Okay.

There you go,

the world's sweetest cheesecake.

You can keep the pen

for as long as you need it.

I already filled

in the lottery ticket earlier.

What are you going to do if you win?

Have you decided?

Have I ever, honey.

I want to be like her.

I want her nose,

her mouth, her eyes,

her hair, her waist...

I'm going to be so much like Cher

that folks are gonna stop me

in the supermarket and say

"Wasn't it terrible what happened

to dear old Sonny?"

What do you think?

I think that's

a really f***ing stupid idea.
