The Battle of Shaker Heights Page #4

Will you tell me when Miner gets here?

Thank you.

- Who's Miner?

- Fianc.

Aha! Ruby.

[Girl] You know that frozen food lady

came in today with her kids.

- Oh, yeah?

- They must eat out of

those cardboard trays every day.

I think one of her kids

even looks like a piece of cardboard.

You know we have more flavors

of cat food here than we do baby food?

- Really?

- Yeah.

What do you think

that says about our culture?

I don't know what it says.

What do you think?

Mmm, I think working here

is very depressing.

Then you should quit.

You could get any job you wanted to.

- You think so?

- Heck, yeah.

Come on. You're smart,

you got a good eye...

- and you do the best promo stuff

in the store.

- Well.

The thing you do

with juice boxes...

- It was genius.

- Thanks.

What are you gonna do?

Enlist?

In the army?

- And lose this? No way! Are you crazy?

- Hello? Hello?

- No way. Nuh-uh.

- Not happening.

- Hello?

If the store is closed, it shouldn't have

a sign that says, "24 hours."

- Okay. I'll be right there.

- I don't wanna be here

when my coupons expire.

Okay.

Mornin', Private Ryan.

Like my new hat?

Yeah, actually. I got one just like it.

It's just mine's infested with lice.

Really? You're just

a regular Carrot Top, aren't you?

- [Grunts]

- [Chuckling]

Oh, my God.

One day, me and you

are gonna be alone.

- Won't that be nice?

- Too bad my mom won't let me date yet.

That's a good one, buddy.

Ya got dental insurance?

- Why do you mess with him?

- You're right.

- I should give him a break.

- I mean it.

[Man]

The Allies launched a counter-offensive

two days before the new year.

Kelly, you're home.

Thank goodness.

Move. I need you to go

to the art supply store for me.

I'm not goin'.

Get Abe to do it.

Abe was going... He had to lead

a meeting at Care House.

- What do you need?

- I phoned in the order.

- Is it a big order?

- No. Thank you.

It better not be

a big order.

- [Cash Register Beeping]

- [Woman] Is that it? That one?

- [Woman #2] Yeah, yeah. Third row.

- Thank you.

- [Tabby] Kelly, right?

- Hi.

Uh, so they're having

a glitter sale, it looks like.

- What happened to you?

- What happened... Oh. My eye.

I had a tennis injury

a while back. No big thing.

- So, you paint?

- Oh, yeah. You know.

That's a weird

question to ask.

- How so?

- I don't feel comfortable

calling anything done...

since the Renaissance

"painting."

We might have more experimental

interaction with the picture plane...

but as far as skills go,

we're suffering a great deal.

Okay.

So, I got a question.

- I see you're working with acrylics?

- Mm-hmm?

Why? Isn't oil much richer?
