Running on Empty Dreams Page #6

What about your husband?

Jimmy?

Mm. Calls every morning.

He writes letters,

but the one thing that I

really needed from him,

he just couldn't get it.

Boys, lunch is almost ready.

I mean, we just...

The only reason we got married

is 'cause I got pregnant.

Do you miss him?

I don't want to

talk about him anymore.

Mom, what's wrong with Jane?

Mommy, what's wrong?

Don't worry about it guys, okay?

Go on back. Give her a minute.

I didn't sign up for this.

I did not sign up for this,

and it's always me picking up the slack!

It's always me, just me!

Come on!

See if you can beat your mom.

Whatcha got?

Come on!

Come on, little man. Whatcha got?

Oh, what's that? Traveling!

Ahh!

Come on!

Look, Mommy!

There's Jane and Tony!

Hi, Matt!

Hey, Bud.

Hey, you!

Hey.

Hey, buddy!

I didn't know you played ball.

Oh, it's not a big deal.

I just used to play back in high school.

You know what?

Tony just tried out for his team at school.

Could use some help.

I don't know if you're up for it.

Sure.

Sydney, can you help me dribble

under my legs, please?

Sure, come on.

What's the matter? You can't do it, huh?

No, show me how you do it first.

Then I'll show you want to do.

So did all three

fall asleep in your room?

Yep, out like lights.

That move was actually pretty good.

Yeah.

Was the script well-written?

Yeah, it was okay.

It's really late.

Yeah, I'm gonna get going.

Are you okay with Matt staying here?

Yeah.

Okay.

But you don't look

like you want to go.

No, I have to go.

I'm going.

Okay, fine. Leave.

You don't have to leave.

You don't have to go if you don't want to.

Why? You want me to stay?

Yeah.

Why?

I'm sorry.

Sorry.

No.

Oh, my God.

What?

Mommy?

Hey, sweetheart.

What's wrong?

Can I go back to sleep on you, Mommy?

Yeah, come here, babe.

Thanks.

I think we're going to get going.

You don't have to.

You can stay.

I mean, he's comfortable.

He might be up all night if you leave.

He didn't see a thing.

Whether he saw something or not

doesn't change the fact that it happened.

Hey, things happen.

Okay, well, you guys can sleep out here.

Feel free.

Good night.

Bless me, Father,

for I have sinned.

How long as it been

since your last confession?

Couple years, maybe.

Go on.

It's funny 'cause I

used to come once a month

when I was a little girl,

but that's when my mother made me.

Let's see.

I got angry with my son a few

times for not listening,

and I'm angry with my husband a lot,

and I'm just, I'm pissed.

Is that all, or is there much more?

I may have committed adultery,

and I don't know.

Maybe it was adultery.

I just, for one split second,

it just felt so right.
