That Evening Sun Page #4
for taking care of
your stuff, you know.
Let it rain in
your carburetors
and all.
Oh, I know.
I know.
At least it's
my carburetors.
I can't make out
what's what in there.
When was the last time
you cleaned this engine?
About a week
before never.
Do you want
her or not?
Yeah. I'll take it.
Uh, I don't have
enough cash.
Well, $200 ain't gonna
cure any of my problems.
He do that
all the time?
Yeah, that's the
noisiest damn dog
in Ackerman's Field.
He starts out
about sundown
and keeps it up
till first light.
That so?
Good boy.
Hang on, I'll get
your food in a minute.
You still here?
I live here.
That's what
you think.
She sure is pretty.
This dog
follow you home?
Something like that.
Daddy ain't
gonna like that!
He sure is a cute
little thing.
Oh, yes, you are!
You're a cute
little thing.
You even look
like my Nipper.
Come on, come on,
let's do your business.
Can I tell
you a secret?
No.
Well, you're no fun.
Never claimed to be.
I got a date tonight.
Oh. Why
is that
a secret?
I didn't take you
for the homely type.
Well, for one, he's
a little bit older
than me,
and Daddy don't
especially like
but really it's
because this boy's daddy
got my
daddy drunk playing
gin rummy last fall,
and when my
daddy woke up
the next day
he was missing $40
and a Swiss Army knife
that my paw-paw gave him
when he was just a boy,
but Steve Jr...
That's the boy
I'm dating tonight...
Steve Jr. Said his daddy
won it fair and square
and that my daddy
just ought not play
gin rummy when he's drunk,
'cause he sucks
pretty bad at it
even when he's
stone sober.
Just wants what's
in my underwear
and he won't stop
till he has it.
And then he'll probably
take $40 from me, too,
but I don't
even have $40.
I just think he's mad
'cause he lost
paw-paw's knife.
I see.
Yeah.
Oh.
You're not gonna
tell him, are you,
about my date?
A child
shouldn't lie
to her father,
even if
her father's
Lonzo Choat.
Ain't nothing good
gonna come from that.
You and your rules.
I'm not a child.
I'm 16, and I'm not
lying to him, either.
I just got
some secrets,
that's all.
Everybody does.
Who does this gun
belong to, anyway?
You ask a lot
of questions.
There's a lot
I don't know.
I bought it for my son
when he graduated
law school.
That's a weird gift.
I thought I
might, uh,
get some target practice
back there in the woods,
maybe shoot me a
squirrel for dinner.
You're funny.
I can't imagine why anybody'd
put you in an old folks' home.
You seem fine to me.
I am fine.
Then why'd you go?
