Oliver Sherman Page #5

You knew that.

This is the first

time we've been alone

in more than a week.

Listen to how

quiet it is.

He's waiting for

me down there.

Well I hope he's

a good kisser,

'cause if you get

in that car

those lips are

not touching mine.

Is that right?

- That's right.

You're a piece of work,

you know that?

I do.

Hey,

are you Sherman?

Yeah.

There's a call

for you.

Hello?

Sherman?

Yeah.

Hey,

it's me Franklin.

Hey,

you coming now?

Listen man,

I'm really sorry,

the baby has a fever and

we have to stay with her.

Can you find

our own way back?

I'm sure the bar can call

you a cab or something.

But we were supposed

to have a drink.

I know, I know,

I'm sorry.

But we can do it

tomorrow instead.

Sherman?

Yeah?

I'll leave the front door

unlocked for you okay.

Hey,

Canadian club,

make it a double.

Sir?

Sir?

Your cab's waiting

outside.

You don't have

no f***ing fever.

Sherman?

You promised me a drink,

Frank.

Sherman, it's like

two in the morning.

I sat there like an idiot;

an idiot with no friends

drinking by himself.

We'll go back

there tomorrow.

What's going on?

You promised,

Frank.

Sherman,

go to bed.

You promised me,

Frank.

I said go to bed Sherman!

baby cries

It's okay,

it's okay,

I'll get her.

Is that what you want

around your children?

Don't put me

in that position.

What position?

The one where your

family comes first?

That's not fair.

Why do you keep

sticking up for him?

Because I could

easily be where he is.

No, you have

done hard work;

he's just looking

for excuses not to.

You don't know

what it was like.

No,

I don't,

but you don't know what it

was like carrying your

two children and giving

birth to them, so...

Please,

for the love of...

No, I am stuck here doing

the servant jobs while-

while you're

out at the bar.

It's not like that.

I looked in his wallet.

Irene!

He listed our house as

his permanent address

on his library card.

What address is he

supposed to use?

He's a drifter; he just

wanted to read, that's all.

No, he's settling in when

he should be looking

for a way out.

Truth be told I'd be

happy if he was moving on,

I just feel sorry for him.

He's down on his

luck right now.

He's deeply unhappy

and he's looking for

someone to pin it on.

Two more.

Great,

okay.

Feel like some

steak tonight?

Sure.

Sherman,

there he is;

Raymond Saddler.

I've seen that guy

at the library.

I'm surprised

he can read.

TV show

Oh sh*t!

Twenty-five cents.

Yes,

it is.

What?

TV:

Well I'm not gonna

bring it to you.

How about this;

you can keep the coin

or I can show you
