Sex, Death and Bowling Page #4

Great.

Um. [clears throat] Charlie was

talking about maybe stopping by

to see Rick tomorrow.

Great.

There you go.

See you Saturday.

My best to Cora.

Yeah, she's in Phoenix.

What was that look for?

I can't stand Charlie Cornfelder.

We had to play ball with

that idiot for four years.

Way to go, Evie.

He asked about Rick.

People want to say goodbye.

This is happening,

and you can't...

What, Evie?

What can't I do?

I'm going to go see Rick.

Do you want to come?

I have to finish up here.

Here's mom with John's

neighbor, that crazy old lady

with one eye.

What was her name?

Miss Ramirez?

She... [laughs] Wait, wait...

She's... I thought she was

a witch.

She's... she's like, you

guys are going to go to hell.

Remember she caught us bombing cars?

What happened?

Yeah.

So, your dad and I, and John

were bombing cars with oranges.

And one of the car swerved

and clipped her fence.

So we were trying to run and get away,

and Miss Ramirez comes out and sees us.

Us?

You were the only one she saw.

You ran away and left me.

Yeah.

What happened?

Your dad and John were faster than me,

so I had to run up and

climb a tree to get away.

And I stayed in the tree

until dad came to get us.

What did grandpa do?

Yelled.

A lot.

I got a whooping.

Did you?

No.

Your dad took the fall.

Said it was his idea.

Yeah.

Was it?

Probably.

Hi, looks cozy in here.

I've Evie.

Hey, um, it's nice to

finally meet you in person.

Nice to meet you.

Hello, sweetheart.

Hey, guys.

I'm sorry to intrude here.

I just want to get this guy something

to get him through the night.

Glenn, you can give

him one of these pills

if he wakes up in pain, OK?

Can we just give him a lower dose?

I mean, it's just been

so long since we've all

been together like this.

It doesn't work like that.

Actually it's way

past someone's bedtime.

I don't want to go to bed.

Come on, go with Evie, sweetheart.

It's a school night.

I don't want to go to school.

We've talked about this before.

Come on.

I'll tell you a

story... a short one.

Your stories are never short, Evie.

I love you, kiddo.

I love you, too.

Will you come tuck me in?

Yes, in a few minutes.

Yup.

Goodnight, Uncle Sean.

Goodnight.

Long ago, there were two sisters.

Blue Dawn and Dancing

Wind, her younger sister.

One day, their mother told

them to get their baskets

and go fill like with

pinions for the coming winter.

She warned them, come home before dark,

and do not cross the river.

Well, they couldn't find that

many pinions near the puebla.

So they wandered further

until they came to the river.

On the other side of the river,

they saw trees full of pinions,
